Hello, I am moving into college on Saturday. I am so nervous. I don't have a lot of friends, I have about 8 BEST friends and I do everything with them. Two of them are going to the same college as me and I know that should calm me down a little but I am so nervous that I won't make a lot of friends because I am kinda introverted and quiet around new people. I know, "make friends by getting involved" but this is my first year, I don't know right now how much I can handle so I'm not sure I will be involved in a lot of clubs and such this year. Any help from people who've been in my shoes would be so appreciated. Thank you!
I started this senior year with no friends. My best friends (as well as my girlfriend) moved out to another Country. We still talk each day and I miss her. What I've done is simply be grateful. I might not have friends, but on the bright side I have a lot of free time to study and my grades have gotten better. When I had my girlfriend around I wasn't able to concentrate on my studies and my grades lowered to the point I almost flunked in Math.
Now that my girlfriend is over at Florida I can concentrate in my studies, as well as her, and in our free times we can enjoy chatting together (in your case hanging out with friend).
Make it a habit to have conversations with classmates and your friends at least 3-5 times a day. Just remember to have a positive approach. Being positive attracts more positive thing and being negative attracts more negative things. Be positive and smile. :) [ Anonima73's advice column | Ask Anonima73 A Question ]
