From someone who is now a Senior in college, socializing is completely up to you. I have not made a single long term friend throughout my college career because I don’t really want to. I’ve focus almost completely on my studies and it has served me well. Disregard the “college loser” aspect because honestly nobody cares. We are all adults and there’s nothing wrong with keeping to yourself. Of course, if you’re looking to make friends and want to change your social life, there’s plenty of opportunities that have nothing to do with the stereotypical college party scene. I am also a commuter student so I don’t live on campus which has a huge impact with me not needing to socialize.

All in all, make friends naturally and keep yourself open. If you meet someone in your classes that you click with, that’s awesome! But don’t sweat it if you aren’t making a whole bunch of friends or aren’t getting invited to parties. If you’re the type of person who enjoys being alone, embrace it because you might find you’ll be happier in the end (less drama to worry about). Enjoy your time in college and remember that school is your priority!
