Sorry to hear about your loneliness… but don’t worry … It is early yet, things will get better and you will make friends… One suggestion is to get outside rather than sit in your room when you feel lonely. If you have an outdoor commons or quad where you can sit on a bench or under a tree with a book or a sketch pad or something else you can do with your hands… perhaps someone will take an interest in what you are doing and stike up a converstion or you will find someone sitting outside to talk to too… Just not being cooped up your room is good. If there is no outdoor area … try the student center or someplace where there is activity.

When you are the floater… make the most of of it… try to loosen up and have fun and be fun and the other person may seek you out.

Do not wait for others to come to you or come up with ideas… pay attention to upcoming events and try to get the group interested.

Invite the group into your room for snacks or a game.

Come up with an idea for a place to go off campus and invite people you hang out with or just go for a walk… or study together if you are in the same classes.

Find people with interests similar to yours by joining a club.

Even if you are shy… smile and say hello when you see a friendly face… or just keep your head up and smile…
