I was in a similar boat i made friends with the ppl i lived with sophomore year and also took classes with the few friends i had and became much closer with them, I’d definitely say i made more friends sophomore year and although I don’t have like a big friend group I’m fine with the individual friends I have because we’re really close if that helps at all
Also I joined a niche club I really found my people there I know that sounds cliche if you join a club that performs or competes you get really close with ppl because you see them all the tims
Yes ok imma put u on what i did and found a friend so I rushed a frat my secind year I didn’t end up joining frat but I met a friend through rush and we like the closest friends rn and u met people through people so jus go out there put urself out there and u will meet people u dont have to rush or anything but jus go out there and meet more heads
Yeah bro second year was lit bro.
Ur cooked but im here to suck it for you
mine is from my second year
So serious try rushing. Because even if you don’t join you will meet so many people. It also kinda forces you to put yourself out there. Who knows you might find one with people very similar to you! If you want to expand your circle it’s a great way to do it
Might not be for everyone but if I were u I would rush. U never know if it’s “right” for you til you try and you have nothing to lose. And you lowkenuinely make friends along the way whether ur a guy/girl, even if you end up dropping
lol. Chud 🫵🏽😂
what did your comment add to this?
100%! Some of my closest friends i met sophomore year (one in a fall semester class, and another in a class in the spring) :)
I pretty much only had like acquaintances if anything freshman year and sophomore year is where I’ve made my closest friends - nobody rly talks about it but I feel like most people don’t find their closest friends freshman year, the majority are in the same place as you and either didn’t make friends freshman year/aren’t happy with the friends they made or are always looking to make more friends
Each semester of college your social group will change. people will be on co-op or abroad, and also out growing friendships is very normal.
I found my people my second semester of my third year im not even joking, up until that point I was social for sure, but i never felt like i fully fit into the “friend groups” around me. I hated it when people said “put yourself out there” because I really did try my best, but i think what’s important is to not try to stick with where you feel you’re not exactly welcome and keep searching for the friends that actually want to invest their time and energy to you.
I recommend joining a club or as others are saying rush(which I didnt do but I wish I gave it a chance). Northeastern is insane and everyone’s schedule is different. I had friends I really wanted to strengthen bonds with who had to go to other cities for co-op, semester abroad, semester-in etc. So just have fun with it honestly, no need to go hard on yourself
Second this. Since a lot of your friends might co-op outside boston/leave it’s so nice to have a group to always call home. The whole point of rush is also to meet people!
shit i’m finding my people right now in the summer it’s kinda crazy how things work sometimes
Joined two friend groups the spring of my sophomore year. Had none before that. Hang out at the same spots on campus, conversation max with people, and say yes to everything you’re invited to. Went into sophomore year with only two friends. One less than you. It’s possible but you got to put yourself out there
which sorority?
omg i was gonna rush that last semester but my gpa was too low 🥀 it should be up by next semester! what was the rushing process? and what’s it like when ur actually in the sorority?
thank you!
I made most of my friends sophomore year. By rushing.
Come over u can have more than a friend 😏😝

I didn’t even know there was a gpa requirement! Rushing process involves just some simple events where we get to know you, and then an invite only interview process. Just be yourself and refrain from being judgmental or negative. Once you are in the sorority, it is what you make it. I personally am not super involved anymore but everyone finds their own group.
Bro the GPA requirement is like a 2.5 😭
Me and all of the friends-ish I made freshman year ended up in completely separate friend groups by sophomore year when we all rushed. I genuinely don't know anyone who didn't find their closest friends sophomore year after a reallyyyyy rough freshman year, so I promise it gets better! Just stay strong and keep putting yourself out there
mine is from my second year after rushing a sorority. your situation is more common than you think
omg me too same exact situation
i just finished my freshman year too and i feel the same way you do
