Well, I will be starting college soon. From highschool I have always been the NERD even though I am pretty. I am just reserved. So I never spoke to anyone unless they needed help with an assignment or something. I never got invited anywhere by anyone because they didnt view me as "fun". I do think I am a fun person but they just never gave me a chance really.
Now College is starting soon. I am from the caribbean by the way, and I fear so much that the same thing will happen again. I need tips on how to make new friends. I want to have "girls" to go shopping with and all of the things I never experienced while in highschool.
I have a boyfriend and when I was choosing "halls", I chose to live on the dorm where most of the "nerds" are...so that I could focus and study better. But all the fun takes place on the other dorms...and I am just depressed about it. My boyfriend chose one of those halls.

Don't be afraid to talk to people. If you start to get to know someone from class, maybe ask them if they want to have lunch with you. If your grades are good, you could also sign up to tutor through the school if your school has a tutoring program. I did that in college and met some great people that I wouldn't have met otherwise because we never took any of the same classes.

How To Make New Freinds 101: Making new friends can be kind of awkward
at first. You can always try to just go up to someone and say "Hello!" But
that might seem kind of a daunting task at the moment. If you want to try
that, take it easy by finding someone in one of your classes who looks like
they keep to themselves more, or someone that's not always surrounded by
a group of friends. Ask them to grab lunch together, or what they like about
certain classes, what they don't like, and so on. The main thing is to keep the
conversation going. When it stops, it gets awkward very fast, and that is what
you DON'T want to happen. Most people would love to have a new friend to
hang out with. I know I always do. One of the key things is to ask alot of
questions. You're getting to know somebody, so it would be normal. Just
make sure to not JUST ask questions. Build up on certain topics that come
across during the conversation.
If you're going for lunch one day or simply have nothing to do, and you see a
group of girls that seem nice, ask them if you can join them. Introduce
yourself to them and ask their names. Ask them some questions about what
classes they take, and the teachers that they have. Again, keep the conversation
going. Since it wouldn't be one-on-one, it may be a bit easier to talk and keep
it up. Ask where there dorms are and see if you can meet up with them
sometime for coffee, or lunch, or to go shopping. Remember to just be as
friendly as you can.
- Good Luck! 4laugh -

Most of my friends in college and university came from talking to people in my classes, checking out some of the groups/clubs/associations on campus, and the occasional extra-curricular event. 3nodding
