feel so alone in college.

basically just hang with roomates. but i mean. i get tired of that. they are too into drugs and drinking. it gets old. i want to go out and make some friends of my own, but i don't know how. like... in class.. everyone just wants to get out. in the lunch room everyone just wants to eat with their own friends, so its like wow. just be on facebook?? lool. i know thats bad. im just kidding. but really. tips on how to make friends in college? like yeah interests. i'm into guitar and such, but i mean, how do u even make friends like that these days? Go up to someone with a guitar? ... and say, oh hey I play guitar too. it's like. Oh woowwwww. your soooo different!!! or... idunno. its just like... what do u say?

 

Find a spot out in the open and sit and play your guitar, you may very well be surprised at how many people will gravitate to that.

Any other interests? Join some clubs or volunteer a few hours in the community. Both are great ways to meet new people.

 

yeah thats a good suggestion. thanks. is it weird of me tho to think like... that I want friends other than just my roomates? like i like being with them and all, but like... theyre all getting their own group of friends... and idunno.. i just feel like a want a social life of my own. yknow?

 

Most colleges offer tons of gatherings and social opportunities for this very reason.
Next time you walk past a message board, stop and read some of the fliers, find something you might be interested in, and then show up.

 

Nothing weird about wanting to meet new people and make friends. I think if you follow the suggestions the other fellow said you'll be set. Good luck.

 

I actually think that it is far more healthy to want to have other friends and to expand on your friendships and experiences.

It is a time in your life to stretch a little and get to know others.

I always liked to do volunteer work as I met a lot of people through that and I always felt good doing something.

 

i dunno, i met most of my college friends through my roommates. it really helped living in the "party apartment" too.

 

college is a older highschool,

if you can travel to another country, i suggest you do. Learn something about yourself. The education system wants you to be in debt...

 

Me too!

Me and my girlfriend are thinking about joining the Gay-Straight Alliance cause all the clubs suck.

But I might be graduating this semester, so I might change my mind.


But yes, going up to people always helps.

Being a smoker helps too, I made friends so much more easily before I quit

 

Duck! dont encourage people to take up smoking to facilitate social interations!! love u anyways tho xo

i think that anything i was going to suggest would just be repeating what other people said.

i want to ask you why you live with these people if they are too much into drugs and drinking? maybe you should look for new roommates, some that you really connect with.

i found it really difficult to make friends at first. so many people already have their own groups and it can be difficult to make someone who is so busy and has friends whom they probably already hardly see make a new friend. infact, this is my last year of university and my closest friends dont even go to my school.

it just takes time and some effort of course

 

I was mostly suggesting it in case he was a smoker.

You can pretend you don't have a lighter and make friends real easy

 

i am in the same boat as a college freshman. i have friends but i want to make new ones. everyone's kind of just bumbling along though. the people that make cool seem effortless are really worrying too.

 

eh... it's all weird. like... is my only way of meeting new people in the cafeteria?? sure seems that way. I dunno. i enjoy being in my dorm/apartment, but like. i just want a group of friends i can just escape to! but like... yeah cliques already form. but like.. idunno. like how at the beginning of the year when everyone was all desperately trying to make friends, i just felt like.. wtf... is this highschool?? Fuck that! eh...

 

yea man, just chill out play and be friendly when people talk to you. i didn't know anyone at school and i ended up making some really good friends. keep open

 

Dorms are the easiest place in the world to meet people.

Try to be open. It'll happen.

 

join clubs man. seriously. I guarantee your school has some sick club youll think is bomb as hell. Youll go there and meet other people who thinks its bomb and youll have something to talk about and probably be like minded. Perfect equation for the friend train...maybe more if youre lucky

 

Immerse yourself in study to take away the pain of boredom and loneliness


Hotwater

 

I want sex

 

Your college must have a music club, join that!
The people in those clubs are normally really chill ... and believe me, theres going to be at least 5 people in there that play guitar!

 

If you lived here we'd be friends.
