I have no idea how but somehow everyone I see has friends of some sort in my college. I just moved in yesterday so I'm a bit skeptical. I knew that my friends weren't coming here but I failed at making new friends somehow. At Orientation, l somehow blew it and I'm not really sure how. I already see people forming groups and talking with their friends but I had no intentions of spending most of my time on the internet; I had planned for some time to be spent on the web. I did not plan on being in my room and I explored where my classes were. Even during lunch, I saw people sitting with their friends and when I looked around, I realized I was the only one sitting by myself. I have a feeling if this goes on, I am probably going to be in my room the whole time. Do most people make friends by the time classes start or do people make friends when classes start? I'm not sure whether being outside would change anything but would it be a start? I didn't realize how different it would be from high school till now or am I just being paranoid. W

I just moved out last week and I was the only one I knew, and the thing that I found to do is to just start talking to people, trust me its not easy for me either. Do you have roomates, thats probably the easiest. when classes start for you that is a good opportunity as well, because there is a reason for you to talk to them like: same class, same hour, same teacher. My advice just keep going and start with small talk.

I suppose that you're right. I just got off to a bad start with one of my roommates though. He moved around the furniture in such a way that I couldn't use my desk and I had to move everything back. My other roommate stopped by today but hasn't moved in yet. I suppose you're right about just talking to people.
