" Yep, it&amp;#039;s time to make some NTABFFs (that&amp;#039;s lazy speak for &amp;quot;New, Totally Awesome Best Friends Forever&amp;quot;). Making new friends in college may seem like the impossible dream. After four years of the same group of girlfriends, you may fear you&amp;#039;ve forgotten how to charm others into being your friend, but I guarantee it&amp;#039;s just like riding a bike...minus the wedgie.  Join clubs. You may think it&amp;#039;s cheesy, but it&amp;#039;s not. Even if the Investment Club turns out to be as lame as the name predicted it would be, there&amp;#039;s bound to be at least one other member that&amp;#039;s dying to make fun of the math nerds with you.   Go out in search of a party with your hall-mates. Nothing sparks a new friendship like an on-campus adventure. And whether or not you make it to the party, you&amp;#039;ll make memories with your newfound homies.  Don&amp;#039;t stray from the path toward academia! But don&amp;#039;t do your homework in the solitude of your dorm room. The library is a much more social place than you think. The air is always thick with desperation and despair, but if you happen to know the answer to problem #34, you&amp;#039;ll be the talk of Calculus 101. And the first person your classmates will call to blow off steam after the exam.   Go to the gym. Not only does this help ward off the evil freshman-15, but you can also make some great gym-buddies who will motivate you to run a little longer... and ravage the dining hall with you afterward.   My best piece of advice would be to just get out there and don&amp;#039;t give up! You can&amp;#039;t find new friends when you spend your afternoons in your room watching the Maury show.
