Tomorrow is my first day of uni. What should I do anons?
Talk to people bro
Do well dude don't stress too bad and have fun
make friends and get a gf, this is your last chance dont fuck up
Buy a big bag of mints, and something to carry them in. Offer everyone you meet some mints and you'll likely seem friendly and in turn make lots of friends. Everyone likes to have a reliable source of mints around and they'll appreciate it, especially with all the smokers that inhabit unis
Well I couldn't make any friends or get a gf during all of HS. What makes you think it's even a possibility for me in uni? It's over
What do you say to them? Please elaborate. Do people want others to talk to them? How do you choose who to talk with?
Figure out your MBTI personality and connect it with a career field that will actually get you work after you graduate.
Also, figure out your best method of studying. That will save you a lot of grief when you get to the upper courses in your last 2 years.
Just make the best of it user. This is a huge step in your life, so try to ride the wave and have fun
Serious post here. The first two to three weeks is when everyone makes their friends. So yes, go to the hobby game store if you play Magic or DND, talk to classmates about music or movies or normie video games, etc. Even if youre an antisocial type like me, its good to have a contact or two. I dont talk to anyone, but this kid in my class helped me fix my PS4 because we are friendly with each other.
If you have a roommate, ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES and COMMUNICATE upfront before a problem arises. You dont need to be friends with each other, just dont make life harder than it has to be for each other. Dont be a pushover either. If he does something that pisses you off, dont say its ok and move on, actually call him out on it.
i just told you, its your last chance, after uni the difficulty of making friends and getting a gf increases tenfold
make sure you talk to people. get peoples numbers (or i guess snapchat is what they use now). make plans ASAP, by the end of the first week you should have at least a handful of people who you are texting and interacting with semi-regularly. Better if you aim for more.
Most of them probably wont lead to a long-term friendship. Some will probably flake out on plans and over time a few of the people you meet at first will sort of fade away.
It is still important that you do this. The larger your friend group, the more options you'll have, the more you'll get invited to, the more experiences you'll have, and ultimately this will even translate into job opportunities further down the line. A large friend/aquaintace group will mean you have a greater chance of accessing things like drugs too, if youre into that. Also chances are you'll at least find 1 or 2 people who you really get along with a lot and will probably be your friends for years.
I can not stress how important this is. If I could go back in time this is the #1 thing I would work on. You will be surprised how quickly the groups start to form. It doesnt take weeks or months, it only takes a few minutes or even seconds. If you hesitate or stall you will miss out. You have lots of chances during the first week or two because everyone is more open to making friends. You can have a lot of low investment interactions and just see what sticks.
It's INTJ/INTP. I'm a brainlet that just got lucky on the college entrance exams so I got into uni. I doubt I will get a job even if I graduate. So I will just become a NEET after uni. I feel like I don't belong in a uni at all.
I just graduated and currently have no local friends and no gf.
This is it, lads. Uni. Play time is over. This is what determines your future. Stay off of the Jow Forums, red pill, pol, black pill, etc. for real. Negative thoughts and ideas affect your physical body, true story. People in comas have had their bodies shut down and organs fail because of their subconscious hearing doctors being pessimistic, but people in comas have also made full recoveries due to hearing affirming and positive messages. There is a lot we dont understand about the intangible mind vs the physical body.
Adding to this, eat right. Pick up a salad with your meal, even if you hate it. Cut back on junk food. You dont need to count EVERY calorie, but have a general idea of how many calories you eat every day. Work out. Dont do it because tfw no gf, you have to do it for you. You are a man. Your body is the only thing you truly own, it is yours in a way unlike anything else.
I can guarantee that if you let an unhealthy person walk around in a perfectly healthy body for a 7 day trial, they will never go back. The difference is staggering. It really isnt a meme. Its not just physical, its mental as well.
3rd year here, I have absolutely 0 friends and go weeks without talking to anyone. By now everyone is solid in their groups and not really interested in making new friends. People are getting internships and jobs through their connections, meanwhile im falling further and further behind.
this is good advice. your mind and body are connected. regular exercise will be a massive boost to your motivation, energy, and confidence. And agreed - get off Jow Forums. It will still be here later but right now it is a crutch. I used Jow Forums as a surrogate for socialization because I was too scared to talk with strangers. Now Jow Forums is my only friend.
You seem like the type of guy that enjoys filling his orifices with cocks.
I felt the same way when I was in uni. I was in Environmental Sciences, and they were the most cynical people you'd ever meet.
A lot of people say that meeting new people is good, but it's better to have people that you can genuinely bond with. Even if it's just a select few.
I have a few suggestions to add as well.
>Never do all-nighters. Sleep deprivation is torture and greatly increases your risk of heart problems
>Going to bed at a specific time frame. It's easier to manage your day with half the effort.
>Don't be afraid to change your surroundings, if you feel overwhelmed.
>If you really want to do Jow Forums, set it aside for a specific day, and that day only. It's very easy to get side-tracked and lose your momentum.
>Don't sweat not being 100% organized. That's what smartphones and auto-pay are for.
Also
>Set aside some time in the day to declutter your space. A big mess really does stress people out.
>Keep your material possessions to an absolute minimum. Despite what the older generations tell you, there is such a thing as Too Much Stuff.
Doesnt matter. I was a total fucking retard when I first went to uni, but I made sure I never went past 5 minutes alone. You dont get used to it quickly, so you gotta struggle to it, but people are generally anxious the first few weeks so having someone initiate interactions is appreciated.
I used to just go and say hi how are you doing where are you from and see where it goes. People are nervous so they'll talk more than usual. Make the most of it.
i recognize that story with double mint dave and all that shit. op dont do that
you should get a personal trainer and utilize the free gym, if you have that.
GET TO YOUR CLASSES AN EARLY AS YOU CAN TO CLAIM THOSE BACK CORNER SEATS.
people still like to claim their seats and generally sit in the same spot in college, its just like high school first come first served.
also be prepared for the actual worst experience of your entire life so far.
uni was way easier for me than high school in some ways. i did stuff i at least didn't find completely boring, i had way more time to do random bullshit on my computer, and that thing about people being obsessive about "claiming" seats is kinda bullshit. a bunch of people skip classes so there's almost always seats available in every area.
>yo whats up
>you ready for class?
>im user, what's your name
>wanna go grab some coffee or hit the bar after class?
Or some shit like that. It's not hard and may feel cringe at first. But please user, promise me you'll make friends on the first day.
>also be prepared for the actual worst experience of your entire life so far.
Wish someone had told me that two years ago
