Struggling to Make Friends in College

If you ever need to talk or also for advice feel free to send me a message.

Thanks for the advice

Talk about a real good book you just read. And relax. 🤗

Start simple, say hi, introduce yourself get names, and address people by name when you see them, Ask them where there from, and what home is like Ask about family how they fit in Ask about majors and classes Ask about their day, their weekend, holiday, evening Ask about church, work, sports, hobbies, relationships, housing, school news, Look for ways to connect, empathize, relate, "living on a farm must have been cool tractors and equipment" "I have a dog too." "Oh you're in nursing you must have epic stories" Look for ways to see awesomeness in others lives, be kind and complimentary, don't put down, if something seems simple or uninteresting think of some ways to take interest "Oh you're doing home economics, what does that curriculum look like? You know I wish my boss had taken some of those classes, so many people take authority without learning what to do with it, your kids are gonna be so much happier because of your studies" Maybe not that exactly, but look for ways get people to speak up, everyone has passions, ideas, hopes, dreams, wants, needs, and when they light up inside and you are truly interested in them and their saying it's not boring or fake or confusing, ask real questions that you really wonder about Find school activities, go clean the stadium after games, Check Facebook activities tab Find church groups, that's where I met most of my friends Go to parks, most pick up games are welcoming, ask if you can join in on ultimate frisbee, soccer, volleyball, etc Find club nights, there's often activity nights where school clubs host things like dance classes, chess games, larping, free food, martial arts classes, recreational sports water polo, b ball, v ball, Find dance halls, Improv clubs, comedian clubs, Outdoor movie nights Water parks Ice rinks, lakes, service projects, rock climbing, Walk as much as possible, if you need to go faster ride a bike or longboard, scooter etc, avoid using a car, less social and more independent, if your vulnerable you can ask for help more interact more, relate more Get a job that other students have, grounds crew, Costco, Tudor, etc Get high occupancy housing lots of roommates, packed in, if you're concerned about bad roommates most schools have some housing that is more regimented, cheaper housing tends to have humbler less stuck up people, but there's a line where you start getting spooky stuff (criminal records, drugs, drunks, naked bathrobes etc) you want humble hardworking slightly naive people, don't worry if normally people only spend freshman year in campus housing, being weird is fine, confidence is more important If stuff happens you don't like, that's against rules, take care of it right away, talk about it with roommates that night or next day, report it if it continues, if the school doesn't handle it, tell the police and news channels, depending on severity tell police first, and move to a new school, don't put up with crap, there's loads of schools with great students, staff, culture etc, if a school is supporting behavior that puts you at risk you don't have to stay, and if you worry about leaving others in bad situations if you leave and find a better place you can show others an escape (Difficult to define, loads of great experiences have uncomfortable moments, but you should never be pressured into drugs, sex, immorality, illegal activities, etc, if some friends invite you to play soccer go, if someone tries to get you to spray paint the stadium or try drugs, or pressure you into sex Say no, get away from them, get somewhere safe, report them) Be yourself, edit yourself less, if you have a Disney t shirt wear it, if you like a show get a poster and put it up, if someone asks how you're doing be real tell them how you feel and your day if there's time,
