How the fuck do you make friends?
How the fuck do you make friends?
It was so easy to make friends during my undergrad because I lived in the dorms. But I lost half of them due to a messy situation with my ex girlfriend, and the other half doesn't live in town anymore.
Now I'm 22, working on my Master's, and I feel like I have no one.

Remember back to freshman orientation:
-
Talk to people in your field, the PhD candidates, other MS students, hell even the undergrads
-
Pick up and engage in social hobbies. If you're sporty regularly showing up at pickup games is a good way to start, for more nerd inclined joining a game, book, or anime club. The idea is find a social setting for something you love doing so it's less pressure for everyone involved
-
Go out to the social centers- bars, parks, malls- if you find a place you like you can get to know the regulars
-
Join a singles activity group- these aren't just for dating
This is wonderful advice. Thank you very much. I'm stealing all of this :)
One last tip, try to organize an online game night with your friends who moved away, discord has a couple built in and I highly recommend boardgamearena.com
Oo good idea
