College is the best time of your life. The best memories do not come from passing a physics test or writing a paper though (while they are memories, they may not be good ones). The best memories are from going to a football game, seeing a concert, or a spring break trip with your friends. Some of these memories may include your high school friends, which is great. Hopefully, other memories include new friends. That is my advice to you... branch out and meet new people.
Step outside of your personal bubble and challenge yourself to meet twenty new people the first week of classes. Here are some helpful hints to where you can meet people...
· In class
· At the dorms
· At the cafeteria
· At the gym
· Join a club
· Participate in intramural sports
· Join a fraternity/sorority
The list goes on and on. When you meet new people, you will experience new things. It is okay to keep your high school friends, but try to be open to new people. You may meet your true love, or a study buddy, or a new best friend.
Do, or do not. There is no 'try'.
