Friends
The friends you
meet in college will be lasting ones, but you have to go through some non-compatible
ones to get to the compatible ones. You will meet people within the first week
that you think will be your friends for life… then reality sets in.
Even though we are
in college many freshmen we are still maturing and learning. You do not
immediately mature when you come to college it takes time, it takes different
life lessons, it takes some reality checks, some broken hearts, and some close
encounters for an individual to grow and mature. College is a place where you
find yourself. Therefore, that same person that you meet the first week may not
be the same person in four years because you will not be the same person in
four years.
When you find a
group of friends that you can grow, develop, and transition with, that’s when
you’ve found your group of friends. It is harder for some and easier for others
to find that perfect group of friends, those people that will always be there
for you and will help you though the struggle of college because we all have
found out, the struggle is real. Some tips from wikihow.com are:
1. Join groups and clubs
When
you find people who share your common interest it’s easier to make friends
2. Participate in sports and other
common activities
You
all will share a common goal
3. Go to
events
This
will get your face out there making people more receptive towards you
4. Talk to
people
You
have to get out and talk to people; you can’t make friends by just sitting in
the dark
5. Don’t do
your in your dorm
Go
to the study halls, lounges, and library
6. Go to
parties
Get
out there, have some fun, get out of your comfort zone
7. Don’t
give up
At
first you may not be making the best of friends, but it will happen in due time
8. Get a job
Interact
with your coworkers
9. Sign up

This
is a fun and relaxed way to meet people
10. Go
downtown
See
what all the community has to offer, you will find cool hangout spots to go to
with friends
11. Get
connected
Add
people on instagram
12. Hang
with your hometown friends
These
are the people who know you best on campus, so they can relate to you on many
aspects
13. Be approachable and compassionate
The
best way to meet people is with a smile
14.
Volunteer
Get
involved and give back to others, this will help you meet people with your
common interest
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes
because those are lessons in disguise,
