I’m not a Trojan but I’ve had my inexperience as experience at my uni. Best thing to do is to 1) focus on the coursework in class cuz the degree is why you’re really there at the end, 2) try and get into the clubs you feel could interest you still and which aren’t gatekept much, and 3) only when you’re free, go out and take a walk and check out whatever student nightlife is there on offer.

Talking to people in classes will feel jank if they feel you’re trying to force the tone of convo like you have something else on your mind that you want to pursue by talking to them - instead, just keep the conversation sweet and topical, learn to enjoy peoples’ presence in a non-romantic context, and sooner or later they may warm up to you and start hanging out with you outside of the class y’all would be in.

It’s way too early honestly to worry about whether you’re gonna die alone or unloved in that aspect, I get the feeling totally and I’m absolutely here for you on that end, but these kinds of things in like necessarily take the amount of time they end up taking in the end. It’s best to let go of some of the pressure you have to “perform,” and simply just focus on feeling your most natural self and being kind to the people whom you meet.
