Hello i just moved here last week ,any tips on getting friends here i dont speak malay yet sadly but I play video games like witcher ,warframe persona fallout etc . Any tips on getting friends here?

I'm doing electrical engineering in a public uni and I don't know if I'm built for this anymore, even though I was somewhat confident with my decision at first. We had our first day of class today and I feel like I've forgotten all my maths foundations. Our lecturer just assumes we already know what she's talking about and basically skipped through slides.

It's my first time dorming and I'm having a really hard time getting used to it. My roommates are nice enough and I have made some friends but it seems like everyone already knows someone else here except for me. It also feels like everyone is so well-adjusted and already has experience dorming from their pre-u days. I'm lucky enough to live fairly nearby and be able to go back home on some weekends, but I just feel so homesick all the time. I know this isn't anything new, but my mood fluctuates so much throughout the day. Sometimes I feel alright but then I'll get a pang of loneliness or inadequacy and I go right back to feeling shit again. I miss seeing my family every day and eating meals with them. My sister is abroad for studies this year so that distance makes all this even worse.

I keep getting a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach thinking about the upcoming years. I know it's still really early on but I hate how permanent this feels. I'm really not ready for "adulthood" and this feels like the first major step
