Is it true I am running out of time to make friends?

Question

m in college (first week) and still havent made but one kind of friend. Is it true that if I dont find friends within the next two weeks that everybody will have their cliques and I will never make friends? This is such a bad situation for me but I am making the effort. Will you please answer my question and give me tips??

Answer 1

This is absolutely untrue.

Coming out of high school people are used to having their own lil cliques...college is not like that.  

You will make friends no matter what...just be yourself and don't worry so much about the cliques..they will be there, but they are not the only way.  Maybe focus on activities that you are interested in and you enjoy...other people will naturally gravitate towards you for your honesty and because they may share your same interests.

College is about finding out more about yourself and gaining a valuable education...don't restrict this experience by worrying about cliques and what other people say.

The beautiful thing about college is that no matter what...people always come and go.

Answer 2

No that's not true. You can make friends throughout your years of college. I barely started my first year of college too and my first week was ok. It's all brand new to you and you'll have new classes and new people all the time. Be friendly and approachable, say hi to strangers.

Answer 3

Its not true =)

You can make friends whenever you like!

Just give a little 'hey, how are you?' to people who catch your eye =)

Answer 7

That's nonsense. Relax, and you will find friends who share your interests and really appreciate you.

I only had a couple of friends in college--not made in my first week, by any means, and I met my best friend in my senior year. In general, I felt "out of the loop" or something, but years later, I learned that a lot of the classmates I thought were standoffish were actually feeling the same way I was.
