<p>First off, I'll try not to waste your time. Secondly, I'm shy, but I have a big heart. I feel apprehension about the impending freshmen move in tomorrow. Will I make friends? Or more likely, will I lead an isolated life of loneliness?</p>
<p>My only comfort remains Daniel. He gave a sample lecture on the day that I built up enough courage to visit my college. He makes me feel so alive and I hope that our paths cross once I am on campus.</p>
<p>Don’t worry! I bet a lot of freshman are worried, I know I’ll be when it’s my turn. Just keep your head know that you may not meet your new best friend the first day, or the second day, or even the first week. Just relax and let it come naturally. </p>
<p>And who is Daniel?</p>
<p>i’m very introverted and shy and i felt the same way you did when i was a freshman last year. but i ended up making really good friends regardless. remember that everyone is probably as nervous as you are and they’re also worried about making friends. you’ll be fine :3</p>
<p>Who is Daniel? </p>
<p>And this is totally normal; everyone is going to be anxious about their future at college. I mean, this is the next 4 years of our lives! And for many of us, this means making new friends, living with a stranger, and finding our niche. But what’s great is that we’re all in the same boat, so we move through it together. You’ll find your perfect set of friends, don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>You’ll make friends, bud. Everyone has the same worry as you going into their freshman year and everyone ends up making friends. Don’t worry about finding this Daniel. If you see him, great! but if you worry about him too much, you’ll probably miss other opportunities to make friends. Just act yourself and keep an open mind with everyone you meet. If you do this, you should have no trouble making friends, even if you’re shy.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it at all! I moved in early a few days ago, and there’s only a handful of people on campus. I was worried I wouldn’t meet a single interesting person until everyone else came and classes started. Amazingly, I’ve met a ton of great people in the past 2 days, and we’ll probably remain friends at least until the end of the year. There will be tons of people in the same boat as you, so just branch out, lend a hand to someone, and say hi!</p>

You must find Daniel, he is your future, your life. If you don’t make friends with him on the first day, you will have a bad year [/horrible joke]</p>
<p>In all seriousness, show up at events and people will start talking to you, there are enough extraverted people at college that it will just happen, unless you are cold and heartless like me, then you won’t have any friends, but I don’t think you are me.</p>
<p>I’m not going to lie, this thread freaks me out.</p>
<p>So you’re introverted. You hate small talk, and you like profound discussions. Cut to the chase kind of guy. </p>
<p>It’s like dancing. Go out, and put yourself in situations that you’d enjoy and find common ground with people. Really try to talk to people. You’re going to screw up. But as long as you don’t talk about your invisible flying snake over there, you’re going to be just fine.</p>
<p>^ If Condiments has you figured out, then try some clubs that may appeal to you – Philosophy? Debate? Something along those lines were people talk may appeal to you and help you find people with similar interests.</p>
<p>if you’re living in dorms you’ll make friends</p>
<p>Who in God’s name is Daniel?</p>
<p>I feel as if you’re referencing some little known horror film, and no one is picking up on it…</p>
<p>This thread makes me nervous. Especially since your name is dyingbutterfly.</p>
<p>I think Daniel was the tour guide.</p>
<p>^ actually, i’m Daniel.</p>
<p>why would you need courage to visit your school? i hope you have enough courage to answer when spoken to.</p>
<p>Anyone else feel as if they’re in the Twilight Zone while reading this thread?</p>
<p>relax. take awhile.</p>
<p>I’m also curious as to who this mysterious ‘Daniel’ is…</p>
<p>odds are, all freshman are feeling the same way. They will most likely stick around with their roommates or the first few people they talk to. Don’t worry, just be friendly and try to start a small conversation with anyone u see alone.</p>
<p>Stop being introverted, it will only become more and more of an obstacle the older you get.</p>
