Questions and Answers #7

Q: Hey, I really enjoy reading your blog.

Could you write about the social scene maybe? Like how is it like making new friends and meeting new people? I feel like it will be a very tough for me to do so as I'm really shy around other people.

Thanks!

A: First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am an introvert, trying to become more open and less of an introvert. I am making progress but slowly. And I am very sorry for how long it took me to write this. This is by far the hardest post for me to write.

Now that you know that about me, let me answer your questions. 

To be honest, I don't even know how I managed to make any friends. It is a really interesting phenomenon. Everyone I have met has been very welcoming and kind. As long as you are ready to step out of your comfort zone and take the first step to say "Hi" or willing to speak to anyone who comes up to you, you will be able to make plenty of new friends and meet new people.

There are numerous clubs at UWaterloo so, see which one fits you the best and join them, they are great places to meet new people and relax. I've met many people at study groups as well and from those connections, university has been much easier. Everyone I've met still helps each other out with assignments and courses since we all take the same courses.

Come September, try to meet as many people as you can during Frosh week. I missed Frosh week so I had a difficult time with making new friends during the first few months of school.
