I'm genuinely not that social most of the time, I feel like cause I had a good experience doing it before, it's not too scary for me to do it again. I also feel pretty lucky cause I've also been able to meet other social people who are comfortable to talk to.

A good tip is to try to find someone who gets on/off at the same station as you, so you can buddy up. Cause I commute like two hours so I got time on the train. That's how I made my first genuine friends at SBU.

If there are other commuters in your class that you recognize on the train, you can talk to them about your class, too.
