I hardly have any time to go out socially (and I'm not being paid for student teaching, so I don't have the money either-my parents are helping me out a lot)I just feel depressed because I ahve so much work to do and I don't have a boyfriend. I feel like asking myself "what is wrong with me?" I feel so lonely. I want to go out to places and share time with someone else and feel wanted...anyone have any advice?

Your masters is going to be hell for a year or two and it's dark and miserable out so it's no wonder that you are feeling down.
But you knew it was going to be tough. And you know this is going to be worth it when you can got the job you want at the end of it.
My advice is to accept this is not going to be the time in your life when you go out and wow the men of the world.
However, what you should do it look around and find one of the many many clubs or societies that your uni will have and join it.
Make sure that you have some kind of social activity to do once a week. I go to a writers group come hell or high water because other wise I would go insane and watch too much CSI and kill someone.
Most societies don't need you to pay money into them or buy equipment, so just go along and talk to other human beings. It will do you the world of good.
Good Luck!! xx
