just worry about seeing their socials page (ig, fb etc), that's where you'll get notified of their events

I'd do a bit of both, dependent on the class

also, one thing I would do if I were you, introduce yourself to people ... start that conversation. More often than not, you will have to initiate it

yeah ik but like in my lectures with 800 people for ex no one seems interested they dont even look at u when u sit next to them
also by that logic hopefully other people apply it so i dont have to

Sit next to someone who’s alone, people already in a group usually won’t talk to you as much

omg you should go exploring and find your own special spot

 

[synthesisFR]

omg you should go exploring and find your own special spot

thats too much effort its more fun to do that with friends so ill do that in the future

for now i just wanna sit and attend my online lectures there

 

[totally_screwed]

my advice from experience take university seriously, do not settle for an average wam it's just not good enough set the bar higher and you'll have more opportunities. attend all classes including lectures yes, it makes for a good habit to attend all your classes unless there's a clash or it's too overwhelming or ur sick or smth. another thing is that it's okay to fall behind don't beat yourself up about it however try to stay afloat if u know what I mean. lastly take care of yourself university isn't everything have a life outside of it, go to the gym, see friends, eat properly and sleep well

but then whats the point of uni if not to figure out what u want to do

I think you guys just need to kidnap him atp he's posted his timetable so many times and then you guys can all be friends
