[nabs-l] how to meet more people and get involved in activities

[Jedi]

Also, keep in mind that you may be an introvert which isn't a bad 
thing. However, your tendencies for introversion/extroversion should 
always be kept in mind when determining appropriate social 
environments. If clubs and campus activities turn out not to be your 
thing, try hanging out at a coffee shop on or off campus. You can also 
try using social networking sites to make friends in your local area 
and meeting them personally if they seem friendly and normal enough. As 
you make friends, you may find that you prefer to hang out with only 
one or two people at a time. That works, too. in that case, feel free 
to envite them out or have them over to your home for dinner. One other 
option for finding friends is through the classes you're taking. If you 
sit next to someone in class you get along with or are particularly 
close to, you can always make social overtures in that direction. Any 
options are good options. Just remember that different people 
appreciate different social contexts and that's okay.

Respectfully,
Jedi
