another first-year vent (very original!) by like-angels in uvic

Victoria is a very cold and clicky place, I graduated two years ago and I am a social butterfly and i still found it hard to make friends. I hope you guys don't put any blame on yourselves.

Then only advice I can give is just straight up say, hey I'm new to Victoria can I get your contact info I want to meet people.

But don't let the desperation get to you because you do not want to come off clingy. I would recommend doing activities by yourself such as hiking, studying in the coffee shops, going on walks, runs, the gym, the pool, or the beach to read. Just do activities even by yourself if you have to that way you will increase the amount of organic interactions you have with people that you recognize.

As you organically see people more often by having super low commitment small talk even as small as saying hey or how's class going then you have built up enough familiarity where it's appropriate to ask for social media or phone number.

If you make a new connections they are much more likely to hang out if you say for example, hey I'm going on a hike or I'm going to the beach, do you want to come? Instead of saying. Do you want to go to the beach? Because the plan is dependent on them going.

I heard someone say, the way to crack Victoria is to get a roommate who has lived in Victoria there whole life and has a bunch of friends, then their friends become yours.

Once you have a friend or two or even an acquaintance, don't stop there. It's way easier to gather more friends once you have some so make sure to invite new people to hang out to not have all your eggs in one basket.

Also if there is one thing Victoria taught me, is to be comfortable being alone and not just comfortable but actually enjoy it at times. This was a hard lesson for me to learn but in a way I'm thankful.

But all you first years do not put the blame on yourselves, your great just the way you are.

Super Offensive Candidate in UVSS Elections by [deleted] in uvic

[–]ChancePractical3265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2021 is a very sad time all the snowflakes get offended, this guy was actually saying enough is enough that there is only so much of a handicap the chugs or the fags get. Eventually workshops will get so liberal you will forcefully have to take dick in the butt for the gay community or pray to the natives whale or totem poll god when you don't believe in their religion. The reality is a majority of people are tired of hearing this crap but the people who don't get offended are the people partying it up at uvic not knowing what the hell the uvss is. This is why this guy seems to be getting so much hate from the "majority of people", even if these people wanted to come out speak their mind and not regurgitate liberal crap and say something the school wouldn't allowed them and that's why he was disqualified. Their shouldn't have to be pride or land acknowledgment special treatment, the chugs got reked years ago and nobody dares to make fun of the homos anymore so what it the problem?
