<p>I just started spring semester of my freshman year. My current social situation: the people in my dorm are nice, but in general we only talk if there's a group out in the lounge (many of them are studious to the point of not even going out for a few hours on the weekends). I get along with my roommate, but she has her own group of friends who she goes out with (I've tried to very casually make it clear that I'm free too, but she's never invited me). There's a girl in a different dorm who I've hung out with several times who I would consider a friend, but I'm still in the process of trying to make her a regular friend rather than a friend who I only hang out with every few weeks. Then there are 3 people who I hang out with in my dorm: one of them is great but is transferring next year, one of them I'm actually living with next year but currently is usually very busy with work and school, and one of them has started to really get on my nerves recently.</p>
<p>I'm still planning to join a couple clubs and hopefully start up more conversations in my classes. And I know that basically the whole semester is still left. That being said, I'm starting to worry that since I'm living in an apartment next year with just one friend (and the lease is already signed), if I don't hurry up and make good friends now, I'm not going to socialize much next year because I won't be close enough to people that it'll seem normal to make the effort to hang out with them when we're not living in the same building.</p>
<p>Any thoughts, advice, or similar experiences?</p>
