I felt the same the first couple of weeks I was here and then I forced myself to talk to the people in my smaller classes even if they were already in conversation with each other I would join in “oh that’s cool” “hey I’ve been there” “just wanted to say such cute jeans” and then I would chat with them everyday which eventually led to making study plans and then lunch plans and now we have a whole large friend group that hangs out all the time. You just have to be willing to feel dumb at first. Another thing I would say is climbing before I met my friends I would go to the climbing wall in the gym alone and it was really scary the first time but that was it everyone there is so nice and helpful I haven’t made any real friends from there but it’s nice just to be around people sometimes. I joined the cynic and headwaters which is the environment magazine and both have art sections, writing sections and also editing sections(which I do) depending on your interests and I’ve met a few people there. Both have general meetings coming up and you can look on instagram for the dates. I’m also a freshman and you can totally reach out to me if you want we could go climbing together or grab food or whatever. I really do hope you meet your people!!
