Take nothing personally. The good or the bad. Build a community. You NEED friends that you get to hang out with every now and then . This online stuff doesn't count.

One of the more rewarding experiences I had last year was attending Meetups with people significantly older than myself.

The older you get , the harder making friends becomes. It's so bad I'd suggest to comp sci majors to consider a Liberal Arts degree instead if they're having trouble socializing.
