Help needed to expand my friends circle

College Life
1

<p>I was recently on a board of a student group that was the second largest on campus, as a treasurer. However, I had 2 part-time jobs and a 15 credit course work. I am graduating this year so I wanted to make sure I will do well in school. I ended quitting the student organization because I had family ( father going into open heart surgery and grandmother who also is hospitalzied), roommate (extremely antisocial 3 chinese roommates who I don’t know even speaks english T.T), school (full load), and work drama (crazy boss) and stress going on. So I crossed out student group from my list of responsibilities. The student group had 10+ hours/ week commitment. So it was very hard for me to balance that into my life and be able to maintain good grade. T.T. I loved meeting new people and making friends though. I absolutely miss the social aspect of student groups. Now I feel super guilty and I feel like people dislike my because I quit the organization due to crazy schedule. I should have been honest and not ran for a position in the first place if I knew I couldn’t handle the schedule. I jumped on board so that I make more friends and I thought the only way to do that is to be on board of a group. Now that I am not on board I out of the circle of friends I made T.T is there any other way which I can get more involved on campus??? Does it matter if you’re on board or not on board of a student org?
I am a senior, yet I have made very few friends in college. As a senior is there hope for me to make friends that are close before my time is up? </p>

<p>Are your friends in the org actually mad at you or do you just think they are? Most friends would be understanding of you have too much on your plate and need to cut back on some things. Did you explain it to them when you stepped down? Have you tried reaching out to them to hang out or do something together?</p>

<p>No, you don’t have the be on the board to make friends. It can be helpful because you’re working more closely with other people, but really that’s just a way to give you an opportunity to spend more time together. Clubs can just be a way to meet new people, and then you have to take the initiative to spend more time with them outside of the club or during events. You could join clubs and participate in the social events and meet new people without being in charge of anything.</p>
