Making new friends?

[lalarose]

What do you do to make new friends? I will be going to a new college and I know some people there but am not close with them and now I feel like I've grown apart from my highschool friends. I don't want to feel awkward or stay home all the time.

What did you do??

I make friends by joining groups and clubs that are focused on my interests. If you like photography, for example, start going to photograph-related events. If you like to dance, take lessons. Whatever interests you. A website specifically geared to that is meetup. com. They have social groups open for all kinds of age groups and interests.

Most colleges have clubs and groups as well. I joined a few of those when I was in college. You can join some casual sports leagues if you're into sports at all. Again most colleges will have something like that on campus.
