I use to be rlly bad abt not making friends and js staying to myself but I realized that a lot of us are js being anxious about meeting new people together. I tend to take the leap of putting myself out there and saying hi and asking what major there in and what specific job their gonna focus on in it. If people want to talk to you they’ll normally get into their subjects bc they love it. You can also go into ur subjects and explain why u chose urs and what you want to do with it.

Ive learned that a lot of other people have worse anxiety than me and sometimes they’re rlly just looking for someone to open and start that first conversation

I stuck with business because someone in my previous friend group was doing it. I goofed off a lot and didn’t really take it seriously. Now I’m on my last semester and am worried about after graduating but I’m trying to take it 1 step at a time day by day.
