Upcoming Freshman,
I know some of you will be starting college in less than two months from now and I can only imagine how some of you are afraid to start a new school with new people and not your normal group of friends. I get it you will be two to seven hours away from your friends since childhood, but that doesn't mean you can't make new friends!
There's this old saying that the friends you make in college will be your forever friends. Personally, I think its true, but don't be scared to reach out there and meet new people. You can also introduce them to your friends from high school if it gets to that point. Go ahead and go through recruitment, join the band or join another group in college. You may never know you will probably find that one guy or girl who will always be your side no matter what goes on in your college life.
I know I have, but its more of a group of people and they've made my college experience worthwhile. Don't stay in your dorm all day get out and reach out! Find your other half, home skillet, partner in crime, twin, your big dawg, your best friend. Once you do, it'll make freshmen year and the years after that the best days ever.
If you need help on how to start the making friends operation here's how you do it. Nine times out of 10 everyone is afraid to start over. Making friends in preschool was so easy.
Step 1.
Actually leave your dorm room! I mean yes, your roommate might become your best friend, but you still need to reach out some more.
Step 2.
Talk to people! I know our parents taught us to never talk to strangers but start like "What's your major?" or "Do you like this class" Mostly likely how you feel about the class someone else feels the same way and they might even have the same major. You'll see once the conversation picks up.
Step 3.
Grab Lunch! What's a great way to make friends better than getting grub together! Seriously, ask Dylan Burch!
Step 4.
Exchange Numbers if you havent already!
Step 5.
Study together! Escape to the library and study because I bet 99 percent of the time you will not be studying but telling stories back and forth about your life!
Step 6.
Hangout. Invite them over to watch a movie or go to the movies.You can probably even go out and explore the town just to get off campus for awhile
Here's the thing, do we really need steps on how to make friends because sometimes it just happens. I say the best friendships are the once you can't remember how you met it just like happened!
All in all you can do it! I believe in you.
Have a great freshman year!
