If something doesn't already exist, start it up! Even if it does, get involved! Just started a Queer Film Society at my uni which I can tell is going to be a big commitment but it'll be so cool - we have so many sick ideas already

Other people are looking for new friends too, as most come in with no friends, and Iโm sure will be happy to meet you. Just put yourself out there with the knowledge that everyone is in the same situation as you, looking to meet new people. I used to be really introverted before uni but now some people even call me an extrovert. You have so much to gain from societies so go to whatever interests you, to meet new people and participate in new activities, especially at this time of the year when the term is just starting up again! Even the people on society committees may have started out anxious when they first joined.
Only thing is some sports societies might be more competitive and may be teams only, but there should still be plenty that are open to beginners if youโre new to the sport.
Many people seem to only come in for the lectures and leave afterwards. But for those who do get involved in societies, uni goes from just a place for learning to a place of great fun too, which makes you look forward to every day :)

What's the thing that you love to do, could totally nerd out on, monologue about โย or that hobby you want to start or pick back up?
Decide to start a group or a club or a discussion coffee afternoon, and then staple up signs for it, post about it, invite people
Maybe it'll turn out to be a dud and no one will show or maybe you'll have to persevere for awhile
Maybe even the process of you putting yourself out there will create a magnetism and you'll make some friends in the process

Perfection. Takes 5 mins to make and tastes amazing?? Low effort high reward. Best part for sure is the bottom when it isn't quite fully cooked.
