text: So how can these activities make you friends? I'll tell you. For example, if your not certain who signed up for the same thing as you, you might meet new people who have the same things in common with you. You guys both could be really good at something and thats what you talk about. Another thing is if your on a sports team the players and you could go play whatever sport outside of school. Even in school, during practice it wouldnt be nerve racking because you guys all know each other.
