<p>I have a hard time remembering people's names. I can do faces fine, but names seem to always slip my mind. I'm going to orientation in a few weeks, and I fear I'll meet some really cool people but not remember their names. </p>
<p>Any advice on how to make sure I remember these people? I want to start making friends early on in the year.</p>
<p>Facebook them as soon as you can.</p>
<p>I’d definitely agree with Cuse. I remember names better when we’re friends on Facebook, as silly as that sounds.</p>
<p>Try to visualize the person’s name as if it was written down after they’ve told it to you. That’s a tip I saw somewhere, never tried it though.</p>
<p>“Do you have a facebook?”
“Yeah”
“You should totally add me”
-or-
“Could you put you number in my phone?”</p>
<p>When you meet them, say something along the lines of “Nice to meet you, [name]”</p>
<p>Okay, facebook totally slipped my mind. Great idea, and it’s easy with cellular devices like Droid now! :)</p>
<p>Write their names down in your notebook along with something you learned about them.</p>
<p>So when you don’t see them in a while, you can say what’s up and something relevant to what you remember about them from what you wrote down and you’ll be more likely to have a connection there that can continue to grow.</p>
<p>‘Nice to meet you, (name)’ works in my opinion, but if it doesnt, i wouldnt really worry about it. most people forget names.</p>
<p>associate thier name with something near you when you first met them. you can build a roman room.</p>
