Will the first few days of college determine the rest of college?

Question

Today was my third day of college. I have a few great friends so far in my dorm, but we haven't met any guys. I keep worrying that because I haven't made any guy friends yet, I won't for the rest of college. This is probably irrational, but I just need some reassurance.

Answer 1

The first few days of college for me were drastically different from now. I mostly hung out with the same few people, all female. I was worried about meeting guys too but I promise you will. Two of my very best friends are guys and trust me, I AM NOT the type of girl to run around talking to all the boys. I didn't become really close with them until November, so don't expect it to happen in a matter of days. Just don't try to push it. It make take a few months to really find who you relate with.

Just give yourself time to adjust to being in such a different environment and you'll have plenty of friends (guys included) before the end of the year! I hope this helps!

Answer 2

That's really up to you. I'm a guy myself, so I'm on the other side of this equation, but the people I hung out with for the first week of college aren't the people I hang out with now. Some of us stuck together, others drifted away, we joined with other groups of people.

So, nah. Maybe, if by the end of the year you still don't have any guy friends you should worry. But even then, it shouldnt be hard to meet new people

Answer 3

Unless you're going to an all girls school I wouldn't worry about it too much :). Seriously unless your school is tiny there will be lots of folks wandering around who you won't meet right away...

Answer 4

Ha, I barely ever talked to the people I hung out with all of the time my first month of college.  They all joined greek life, one transferred, and we were complete opposites.  It took a couple of weeks of being in my classes to meet some people who I had more in common with.  Just go out an socialize, there will be parties, and just be open minded and friendly to everyone.   I also became friends with a sports team for going to the dinning hall later in the evening before it closed for dinner when they just got off from practice and they saw me eating by myself, so they invited me over.   You'll meet so many people. Just keep an open mind and be friendly.  

Answer 5

you will meet new people in all the classes you have for the next 4 years. you probably wont even hang out with those people you are seeing now.
