Problems adjusting to Uni life?
-
Hi guys,
Its my first year at NUS, and i have problems making friends...
I didn't attend the orientation camps or stay at hall (working at that time), and now everyone have their own clique of friends whilst I am mostly alone in school with no one to talk to. I tried joinging some CCA's but the people aren't very friendly. Last sem was quite bad and I became quite depressed...
Anyone been through a similar situation? How do I broaden my social circle in school and make more friends? =(

Hi Heisenberg,
From your nickname, I guess you are from the Science Faculty? :D
Sorry to hear what you've been through. I'm a first year at NUS too and though so far I have been blessed to be around nice people, I have been through my fair share of tough times and depression during JC and in that aspect, I guess I can empathise a little with what you are going through.
Personally, I found joining CCAs like NUS Community Service Club a great experience as I got to meet many kind and friendly people there. I also found helping others and doing small things for them useful in helping me to build good relationships.
Sometimes, little things like a smile or a simple "how was your day" goes a long way...
Regardless of what your problems are, you are not alone.
If you don't mind, I'd love to have the chance to meet up with you for a chat over a nice meal in school sometime. PM me if you're interested! :D
Anyways, here's wishing you all the best and a fruiful sem ahead! Cheers!

Study hard and get your paper first.

Considered this as an blessing in disguise, why should you concern whether you will have friends or not especially when the time of your school life finished and you graduated? Below are an picture of what friend do to friend to give you some comfort :

You have to take the initative to converse with others during lectures...But don't worry too much like what others have said, the important thing is to score a great gpa to secure you a decent job in the future..Friends can be helpful but are not as important as your studies...don't let this affect your grades

Grades are important.
So is company.
Since you attempt to rank as such, I think most of us are better off not having "friends" like you anyway.

Try taking the initiative and go asking around to go eat lunch etc etc la.
Company doesnt get built in a single day you know.
