Hello,
I’m currently 19, and in university. I never struggled to have friends in highschool, but living in a tiny town I never had a lot of people I’d hang out with outside of school. Because of that, I was super excited to go to a bigger city, and meet so many new people. After the first month of university, I spent 3 months in a hospital due to an undiagnosed illness. I feel like I missed out on establishing friendships and connecting with people. I’ve made a few friends, but they all have groups that I’m not in.
I’ve been told university is when you make lifelong friendships, and I’m really scared I’ve missed that boat. I was curious about what you guys have to say? Can I still make good and real connections outside of/after school?
Thank you for reading, have a great day/night.
