I read the top eight ways to build a relationship in college. This was a good article because it is very relatable to our class. Since we are all freshman we are still adjusting to college life and making new friends. One of the points the article makes is that the first couple of weeks are so important to making friends. The first three months of college are so important because by then everyone has already found a group of friends that they are comfortable with. You do not want to be left out of the loop. Go out and find a group of friends you are comfortable with. This is why first impressions are key to making a lot of friends. When you meet a person for the first time you should try to get to know them and take interest into their interests. If you have something in common that could be a good ice breaker. People do not want to be friends with people who are not outgoing and who are always complaining. People do not like others who are just plain downers. Another point the article made was root for the home team. By this they mean to sporting events. What is nice about attending a football or basketball game is that everyone has something in common. It is also a place where you can yell and just be crazy. Most people like others who are willing to wear body paint in 20 degree weather. Also, joining study groups will help you make friends. Once again everyone has something in common. You need help in a certain subject. I have been involved in a couple of study groups and they can be very social. Everyone has a common goal and if you all achieve that together, you will feel at one with everybody in the group.
