In Distress
New member
Hi. College for me is starting in a couple of weeks and I will be moving back not looking forward to old friendships from freshman year. So this is my current situation.
I came to college last year sort of blinded and not knowing all the things I now know and that the college years are the "best years of your life." I'm starting to regret not being more social and that networking follows you wherever you go!
When I first arrived my freshman year I rarely left my dorm to socialize the first couple of weeks. I regret it now because I have a few close friends. I know there's nothing really wrong with that but I get sick of them sometimes, and they get sick of me. Besides, they're really nerdy and not my type altogether, though we do have our "commonalities."
I look at most other people around my dorm and they seem content with the friends/networks they're making; they always seem like they have something to do socially and are not "left in the dark" like I am.
So, I would like to know how I could "branch" out of the "nerds" I met last year and am now sharing an apartment with during my Sophomore year to meet more diverse people that will expand my social horizon and make me more open-minded.
Any tips? Thanks.
