<p>Okay, maybe it’s a really stupid question and it sounds like it’s coming from a nerdy girl who wants to be ‘popular’, but it’s a misconception. In highschool I was on cheerleading and I wasn’t a total ditz, but some of my friends were. But weirdly, since I came to college and started talking to people, the same kind of friends that I had in highschool just aren’t as easy to find and talk with. I guess it turns some people off that I’m in a tech major (Physics Eng.) and they think I’m boring and have no life? I like school but I also love parties and having fun, but I’m sort of sucking at it right now. Any advice guys?</p>
<p>Go to some parties and meet people. I know that you feel more comfortable around a certain type of person, but you really need to not be so “I need ditzy acting friends” and try to branch out and not be so quick to determine that you don’t want to be friends with a certain type of person. If your worried that your major is scaring people off, you might just tell them that you haven’t exactly decided what field you want to go into. IDK. If you act like your fun, they shouldn’t have a problem knowing that you’d be fun to hang around.</p>
<p>Actually for me its the complete opposite.its easier to make friends now;and I get invited to outings regularly</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Give it some time. You won’t make close friends right away, and it may seem like you have no friends but these things take time. Go to parties, smile/be friendly, and like a chia pet your friendships will grow!</p>
<p>just go out there and be sociable. it may take some time to find people who are as sociable and outgoing as u so dont rush it. college is a different realm so dont fret if u think u cant find people yet who arent necessarily ur friends yet</p>
<p>If you hang out in the greek scene, I bet you’ll find people just like your friends back in HS. Just give it some time.</p>
<p>chia pet lol</p>
<p>Seriously though, give it some time. I bet you’ll start finding more and more people like yourself as you go to more parties or just hang out with people in general. It doesn’t have to be where you are best friends automatically with the first people you meet. </p>
<p>And I also echo the feeling of being able to make friends easier. I loved the idea of being able to start fresh again in college and I’ve used it to my advantage. I haven’t changed who I am, I’m just way more sociable now.</p>
<p>I also agree that it’s probably going to take some time…it’s not even the end of august yet – doesn’t school only start in a week?? Also, if you really think being in phys. eng. is the problem, just say you’re undecided - or in communications - i think that means the same thing haha</p>
