With the school year winding down and me rapidly approaching my senior year of college, I've begun to reflect on a bunch of different things along my journey. I would definitely say my college experience has been a blessed one and I've had a lot of fun and experienced so many new and different things. However, I can't help shake the feeling that I've left quite a bit on the table/could've done more. My social skills have improved exponentially since I first started college and I can sense this "quiet confidence" about myself as a result of the various life lessons and experiences I've learned along the way.
The main thing I've felt I've underachieved in is getting laid and overall SKILL with females. Don't get me wrong, I've come a long way since I first began socially but I just didn't get laid as much as I wanted. I know this is all my doing and my responsibility, but I would like to squeeze every last ounce of opportunity in this regard in the next year by the time I graduate next spring (2018). The best way I can describe this feeling is "slightly detached." Not necessarily that I'm an isolated loner and feel shitty, etc. But detached as in I'm letting opportunities slip by even though I know deep down that I have the potential to really capitalize and make something of those opportunities.
Part of me feels like I'll never forgive myself if I fumble this last year in terms of at least setting myself up for success with girls (and life) after I graduate. I worked in the corporate world for 7.5 months in 2016 (back-to-back co-ops) and I learned just how limited time becomes after college. Now, this is not meant to be a thread about how life after college sucks for girls/socializing, etc. I know that there are a plethora of opportunities to socialize and get laid after college, I just think it will be a little more difficult because now a person will have to slightly go out of their way to create that for themselves as opposed to having the opportunities intertwined like in undergrad. I have no problem with this and will embrace socializing and getting laid after college with open arms because I love a good challenge
.
My main stance is that I would like to squeeze every last social opportunity I can in this last year and especially take advantage of cold approaching/socializing (mainly during the day) while I still have a decent amount of free time, and a huge volume of girls within a small area to which I can rack up lots of approaches in a short period of time---> thus building skill fairly quickly or at least quicker than I would be able to once I graduate.
The reason why I say I feel like I'll never be able to forgive myself is because of certain "advantages/tools" that I feel I have over other males at my university. They are:
Also, my university is considered a commuter campus with ~20,000 undergraduate students and is connected right next to downtown in a city of ~200K population so I can definitely get away with cold approaching during the day. My main goals would be:
Perhaps I'm putting too much pressure on myself and being way too eager and unrealistic with expectations, which is why I wanted your guys' input. I believe I have a good arsenal of "tools" at my disposal but it seems like my main issue is not pulling the trigger, lack of sincere determination, possible depression?
What are your recommendations on leaving college with as big a bang as possible given these circumstances?
Thanks!

The reason why I say I feel like I'll never be able to forgive myself is because of certain "advantages/tools" that I feel I have over other males at my university. They are:
- Being older and more mature than the demographic on campus (I'm 24 years old, have worked in the corporate world, traveled overseas, lots of general socializing/partying experience, etc.
Being a competitive weightlifter and muscular for my height (5'8") which makes me stand out a bit.
Being in a Fraternity and being Vice President, thus showing leadership capabilities.
My overall looks and fundamentals since I've been working on them for a few years now (fashion, walk, posture, eye contact, etc.).
Plenty of money saved up so that I don't have to work at the moment and taking 12-13 credits so not too crazy of a class workload which frees up a lot of time that I can spend on this.
Also, my university is considered a commuter campus with ~20,000 undergraduate students and is connected right next to downtown in a city of ~200K population so I can definitely get away with cold approaching during the day. My main goals would be:
- Around 1000 legit cold approaches (mainly daytime) to build a solid base of skill
13-15 new lays (non-online; either social circle or cold approach)
Proficiency in approaching girls (and people) during the day out of habit and not having to psyche myself up beforehand (i.e. no approach anxiety?)
