give it time

Poster Message:
First, everyone is trying to get settled in so they're not necessarily going to be as focused immediately on making friends as they will be later so be patient. Second, it takes effort to make friends in college (and beyond) - everyone is busy, adjusting to life post-high school (which takes more effort for some than others). It's easy to look at other people's lives and think they have it all together so then it's easy to think something's wrong with their own life. It's not. Third, some people may have only visited OM a few times (including a game weekend) so the adjustment to a small town and a campus that's not always "Game Day-exciting" is something to deal with. I've known students from out of region and large cities that do go through period of adjustment, including being in the Deep South (even though we have a lot of OOS students) as well as getting used to a small town. Get involved in groups, invite people out to do something, and give it time. Welcome, I hope you love it here!
