<p>I am going to be a sophomore this year. Becuase of my long distance relationship with my girlfriend, i didn't make any close friends last year. I do have a lot of accquitances. I broke up with my girlfriend over the summer, and i just realized that i don't have any close friends at my college and everyone already has their own groups. Is anyone in this situation too? What are you going to do about it? join clubs and get involved?</p>
<p>Yeah, I kinda noticed that everyone makes their initial acquaintances in the first few weeks, and their close friends in about the first 2/3s of freshmen year, and after that they're set and they aren't really looking for any new ones. I've tried joining clubs but so far this hasn't resulted in me seeing the people in the club outside of club activities. You can always try to befriend the freshmen right away, since they'll be looking for new friends and you have the added bonus of knowing the ropes already.</p>
<p>yeah, but you don't want to be friends with a bunch of freshmen. </p>
<p>what you would have to do is get close to one person, and then hopefully join the group that the person is in.</p>
<p>I've heard that a lot of freshman cliques get split up sophomore year when they stop living in the same dorm or branch out and meet new people... I have a fabulous group of friends now, but I'm definitely looking to meet new people this year, too. I don't imagine it'll be too hard.</p>
<p>I'm actually going to freshman orientation since I'm a second semester sophomore (transfer student). Mostly because I missed the club presentations last year but also to meet some folks.</p>
