Hi there... I am a first year college student having a very hard time
finding a place for myself in a new environment. For years I had the
same close-knit group of friends, and now being away from them I am
finding it impossible to initiate new relationships. I have been here
for over a semester now and I have yet to make any friends, or even
acquaintances. I get very tonge-tied whenever I try to talk to
people. I am very smart and normally a decent conversationalist.
Being out of "my element" has been really hard... I would welcome any
advice anyone might have... Thanks
