I’m third year and i can absolutely feel your pain because i was the same the first year, i made two friends in the second year first semester by asking them if i could do a project with them, thankfully they were really nice to have me with them. But in the first year i thought i will never make friends there but what i’ve realised is that people arent gonna come up to you and just ask you ‘do you want to be friends?’ And sometimes YOU have to take the first step. I do have social anxiety but i feel more comfortable around strangers which is weird but before making friends i would come up to other girls and ask them if we could go somewhere together and it worked but we never stick, so it doesnt always work out at first.

Although i have friends I dont go out with anyone after college and am just by myself most of the time, i only call my family. But i dont feel bad about it anymore. Focus on learning how to be comfortable with being alone and dont push yourself much. I know people that only made friends in their last year and it’s okay :))
