I know it’s hard to make friends right now, so here’s some tips
1. Become Friends With Your Roommate
Not everyone has had the same experience as me but I am so happy with my roommate We get along and communicate which is a recipe for success. When you get a roommate immediately set boundaries, talk about your sleep schedules and what your schedule for school are like! Being on good terms with your roommate is so important. If they do something that upsets you or it makes you feel uncomfortable, talk to them about it immediately. I have heard so many stories of roommates not liking each other when in reality, the whole situation could have been fixed if you had set boundaries in the beginning.
2. Become Friends With Your Hall Mates
Because of COVID-19, there are not to many ways to talk to students during class. Many of us now have to become friends with the people we see the most. The people in our hall. It may see weird to say hi to someone who may not live near you but it is a great plan. That is how so many friendship will have to build off of now that classrooms are making students sit six feet away. If you have a lounge area or communal bathrooms, awkward I know, but for many when trying to make friends this will be the easiest way! Now the next time they see you, you can say hi as a friend instead of a stranger!
3. Say Hello To People You Normally Would Not Talk To
Many of us have just left high school and are looking for many new people to talk to. Just because you only had friends with certain qualities about themselves does not mean you still have to hang out with those same people anymore. It can be good to stay in contact with people or it might be time to branch out and meet new people. There is no harm in saying that you wanted to be a different person and hang around new people. Not everyone will be your friend but at least you tried! Try to make new friends, maybe grab lunch with someone you want to know better! You never know, they might end up being one of your closest friends!
Making friends can be a test in college but these three simple things hopefully will help! Best wishes to everyone in schooling and stay safe!
