I'm currently in my first year at university. I haven't really made any good friends on my course, and I sit alone in my lectures. It's gets me down a bit sometimes, because I feel like I'm missing out. I am a member of a society, and I'm going to start going to another that I stopped going to earlier in the year, but I never really do anything with anyone outside of the society events. I feel like the problem is getting to the 'friend' status. I have no problem approaching people and talking to them, like today, I said hi and introduced myself to a guy in one of my lectures. He seemed friendly and we talked for a couple of minutes before the lecture started. I just don't know where to go from here. Should I just sit next to him next time or something? This has happened a couple of times. I get talking, to them, even several times, but then I just kind of drift away and don't know what to do to make them my friend. I'm living with my parents now, and it's really cheap for me because I don't have to pay for rent anything, and I only live a few mins away from the uni. I was thinking about moving out next year in to a house to help make more friends, but I don't know if it will solve anything, especially because, of course, it will be with strangers (except maybe meeting with them once or twice before hand). Plus, my mum says she doesn't think should leave because it's a lot of extra money, that isn't really necessary. Do you think it's a good idea? Is it too late to make new friends, since I'm well in to the second semester. I was thinking about going to see the university councillor because I think it's making me depressed. What do you think?
Put the internet to work for you.
