I know that some people say that college is what you make out of it- but there are two sides of this.

While I myself just finished my two years at CC, I first attended a different school where I wasn’t involved at all. Didn’t know anybody, and didn’t care to either. Then I went to the school I just finished and I started to explore my options.

It really helps to find activities where you think you’ll meet like-minded people. I joined the Honors program at my school because I wanted to meet people that were serious about school. I also started a softball club because I wanted to get to know people through a friendly game.

All in all I met people that I’m still friends and hope to be for as long as possible. So explore your options. If your school has a student life office- that’s the place to start. If not, maybe they have a student government or clubs or maybe you can even start your own.

If your school really doesn’t have the resources, usually cities have resources in their official websites.

Good luck!
