Reconnecting with orientation friends?

<p>Hi everyone! So I'm moving in to UMD the day after tomorrow and I'm super nervous about all of it. I don't really know anyone who's going there well yet, so I'm a bit worried about making friends. The good thing is that I met a few really cool people at orientation that I'd like to hang out with again once school starts, but I'm just not sure what would be the non-awkward way to do that since we don't know each other well. I'm facebook friends with these people but don't have their numbers, so I'd have to contact them online. Do you guys have any tips on how to meet up again with people you don't know super well but want to hang out with again? It's a big school so idk if I'd see them on their own... </p>

<p>One thing I'm thinking of is just fb messaging them and asking for their numbers for if they want to hang out when we get to campus. Will that make me seem creepy at all or do you think it's ok? </p>

<p>As you can probably tell from this dilemma I'm a bit socially awkward so any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated! :)</p>

<p>^^^That’s going to creep them out for sure. Do what you’d planned on, smwhtslghtlydzed, or even just message them on there about hanging out and forego getting numbers for now, as that’s how everyone I know does it. :)</p>

<p>Just message them and be like “Hey! Are you super stoked for college like I am? You should hit me up when you get settled in so we can hang!”</p>

<p>And if they respond, give them your number and ask for theirs so you can text each other.</p>

<p>I made sure to get the people’s numbers before the end of orientation so we could text to meet up when we got on campus. I met up with a few of them within the first few days and alot of them actually lived in the same dorm area which was nice and in my class of 25 for freshman English 5 of the students were in my orientation group.</p>
