Friends š„ gsu community
genuinely why are some people at gsu allergic to being friends ?? I get it if like yall have pre existing friend groups but I kinda feel like no one wants to actually interact with anyone but if anyone does wanna be friends im a chem major and enjoy manga and ice skating and listening to music š„ø

Ugh I hate people that have a stick up their ass like that. Itās always a person who wants to commute to a ābetterā school and think they are better than us. News flash some of us WANT to be here. It would be nice if people opened up more.

Ooohh mmm I would suggest clubs! People there definetely want to make connections. And events like the one today "speed friending" or basically any. I guess it does get frustrating if it does not lead anywhere, but most people there want to meet others or have a good time! You are already half way there when you apporach someone

I went to GSU for 3 years, was on campus for long periods of time for classes, worked out there and all. Didn't retain a single significant friend, sad but true

Try being a returning dropout whoās 35ā¦I feel very out of place. My non school friend says to make new friends and to network but thatās looking rather impossible at this point.

u/xiayizhouswife 7h ago

u/Ok-Bridge9038 7h ago
Yeah Iām sure Iām not the only fuckup trying to turn his life around by going back to school.

Iām in loads of discords for different groups so thatās how I stay in touch with people but Iād definitely love to try making more friends on campus who I can just hang out with in between classes and stuff. I be at school super early because I have to commute and even having a friend who takes the same bus as me would be a blessing but people donāt be wanting to talk fr fr and Iām such a yapper so I feel you

i think it being a predominantly commuter college doesnāt help unfortunately :/ iād say join groups / clubs, and if youāre further in your degree and have classes with a lot of the same people, maybe you can propose getting lunch or something on campus :) good luck!
