No Friends

Pretend phone conversation? That’s pretty intense, man.

My suggestion is that you really throw yourself out there. Especially during the first couple of days of college. That’s when you really begin to network and establish lasting friendships with people. I’m kind of surprised that your school hasn’t organized any sort of meet-and-greet events or socializing events where students have the opportunity to meet one another. What about your roommate? That’s usually a really great place to start.

When I was a freshman, my roommate was pretty much my best buddy, understandably so. We helped each other gain the confidence to meet new people, network, and basically throw ourselves out there.

In short, you’ve got to start doing that before it’s too late - eventually people will have already established their main groups of friends and it’ll be too late.

Extracurricular activities also help a lot. Frats, sports teams, organizations, clubs etc.
