Metting people


Question Posted Monday July 30 2007, 10:38 am

I'm moving across the country (from New Jersey to California...Orange County) for college. I'm going to get my own apartment because if I'm that far from home, I don't want just a little dorm to be my only place to have to go to. I want to be an A&R (artist and representative). An A&R works for a record label and is sent to concerts and stuff to listen to bands and if they're good, offer them a spot on the record label. I would probably intern for a record label while I'm in college. I'm into rock, punk, etc. and I love concerts and Ip lay guitar, etc..

Here's the thing...

I'm really into people who lare like that, too. Who like the same music and are that style and like going to concerts, tatoos, piercings, etc..

I'm scared that when I move across the country, I'm not going to find people like that to be friends with....when I move to Orange County, I'm not moving back here...that's my new home forever...and it's important for me to find new friends...but I'm scared I won't find people like that and yes...it is important for me to find people like that cause that's who I like and that's who I get along with.

HELP!

Don't worry about making friends. You will. I promise.

Remember one thing... Just because you have a certain type of personality, likes and dislikes... Doesn't mean that you can't form valuable friendships with people that may not necessarily like to do the same things or look the same as you. Being friends with different kinds of people is actually important and can help make you into a well-rounded person.
Different people bring different things to the table.

Here's an idea... Why don't you participate in localized chatrooms for that area? For example, my friend J is from Georgia and lived here until recently. He decided that he was going to move to Seattle and he was worried about not knowing anyone there. So he started searching the internet for chatrooms with people from Seattle... He wasn't a big fan of chatrooms, but it did give him the opportunity to talk to all kinds of people and hear what they thought of the city. He even made a few friends before moving there. Why not at least give it a try?

how can you not find friends in college especially in California! don't worry about it... have you ever thought about having room mates.. that might be your first place to start. most flyers are your school and see if you get anyone to call. you will be fine.. also there are tons of clubs and stuff to join. I am sure you will find people. Also just with the kind of work you will be doing you will be meeting tons of people alone
