Can you still quickly make friends after the first few weeks of college?

<p>I remember during welcome week, I made a bunch of friends by simply initiating and saying whats up. But after that, I stopped doing that for whatever reason. Would it be slightly weird for me to do that now that 2 months of college has elapsed? Would people be less friendly as most people have found their groups already and are not as desperate for new friends?</p>

<p>Somebody I’ve never seen before stopped by today to say hi because my door was open and I’d put a jack o lantern in the doorway and she thought it was cool. I think it’s a little harder now, but it’s never too late to be friendly and get to know the people around you better.</p>

Yes, talking to people is weird. It’s actually indicative of several severe personality disorders–you may want to consult your nearest psychologist and have a session or two with him/her in order to ensure that you are not a grave danger to society (and thus need to be confined to a mental institution).</p>

<p>You just need to stop being so afraid of rejection and wondering how people are going to react. Just do what comes naturally - if someone seems cool, talk to them. Start a conversation. Ask if they want to hang out sometime. Some people will almost definitely reject you. Sorry, that’s how the world works. Others won’t, and those people will become your friends. It’s like anything else. Sure, in the first few weeks of school people just cling to each other - that’s the nature of the situation. But it’s better because you can make better friends based on mutual interests, etc, instead of “hey-we’re-in-close-proximity-let’s-cling-to-each-other-so-we-don’t-look-awkward.”</p>

<p>100 percent impossible…just wait till you graduate and hopefully you can find a group of co-worker friends. Until then you’re ****ed.</p>

<p>Well just remember that it takes alot of time to make real friends, so it won’t happen quickly. And you can always make new friends. What you should do is go around and knock on everyones door before you go to eat lunch and dinner and invite everyone to go with you. Some people might say no, but i bet alot of people would go with you.</p>

<p>No, once you get to college you have 72 hours to make all of your friends. After that you’re just stuck with what you have.</p>
