5 Tips for Making New Friends!
As new students at Chulalongkorn University begin their studies, they find themselves in a new social environment. Many may feel anxious about meeting others or fear not having friends. However, these worries can be eased. Today, NEXKY presents 5 tips for making new friends and how to build friendships in university!
1️⃣ Be the One to Initiate 🤗 🙌
Being the one to start can be as simple as inviting someone to sit with you or asking to sit next to someone in class. Begin a conversation by introducing yourself, asking for their name, or discussing which high school they graduated from. If they are from a different faculty, you can ask about their field of study or academic interests. Taking the first step is a great way to get to know new people.
2️⃣ Exchange Social Media Contacts📱💫
After getting to know a new friend, exchanging contact information can strengthen the bond. Start by asking which social media platforms they use or directly ask for their account names. Sharing social media helps you stay updated on each other’s lives, interests, and activities.
3️⃣ Invite Them to Activities 👭👬
Once you have made a new friend, inviting them to activities is a good way to build a closer relationship. Start with simple activities such as having lunch together, studying at the library, visiting a café after class, playing board games, or participating in university events like CU Freshy Games or volunteering camps. These activities not only enhance your friendship but also provide opportunities to meet more new friends.
4️⃣ Be Observant and Caring 👀💗To maintain a good relationship with friends, you should be observant and attentive. Notice what your friends like or dislike, ask about their feelings, and avoid behaviors that might upset them. Being observant and caring can leave a positive impression and strengthen your bond.
5️⃣ Be Open to New Experiences ✨🌱
The final tip is to be open to new experiences in university. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and may have different lifestyles and perspectives. Ultimately, try to open your heart to new people, reduce your anxiety about meeting others, smile, and welcome new friends. Enjoy your university life and the community you are in.
These are 5 easy tips for winning friends, applicable to both new and current students throughout their university years. 🙆♀️🙆♂️
