I think the most important part of networking is to do it authentically.  If you are naturally a partier, go to parties.  If you are naturally studious, study with other people.  I made a lot more useful connections with the folks  I worked on projects with (or even moreso, folks I met on the Internet) than those I partied with, but that&#x27;s because I always felt very out-of-place at the blackout-drunk party scene.
