My first semester at UCB has been depressing and miserable. I regret to say that I have completed my first semester without making a single, trustworthy acquaintance. I remember being so confined and alone, that I simple sat down and cried at times. My time at UCB has been miserable, partly because of this lack of companionship.

As you may have expected, I am very shy, and not an outgoing type of person. I am a Computer Science major. Are there some steps I could take, some clubs I could join, to make this misery more bearable next semester? How do I make friends? I had a couple of best friends back in high school, but they went onto other colleges. Now I have no one.
