[quote=Anonymous]I graduated in 2021 from UNC Chapel Hill and I have some advices from a former introvert:

1- Make as many friends as you can without interfering with your study time.  There are so many club activities that you can join on campus.  Yes, it is a difficult thing to do if you are an introvert person but you need to step out of your comfort zone and do it.  Nobody is going to judge you.  It will be a lot of fun,

2- Do not study in your dorm room.  You can study at the library.  It is also a great place to meet people,

3- Join a club sport.  It is a great place to meet people there.  Step out of your comfort zone and make friends.  Many times, those friendships will last even after graduation.  One of those friends might even help you get internships,

4- Join other activities that have students from other countries as well.  I am so glad I did it.  This is especially with music activity clubs.  I brought my guitar with me to the club and played a few songs.  Next thing I knew, quite a few pretty ladies came up and started talking to me, one of them became my gf and she is from Chile,

In summary, the easiest thing for an introvert to do is to keep doing the same thing and hoping for a different outcome.  You're in college and it is time to try new things.  No one is going to judge you and you will probably experience rejections, but guess what, life is full of rejections.  I am going with the baseball analogy here:  a great baseball hitter with a .300 batting average seven out of ten times failure at the plate.

You are on a college campus.  Go out there, put away your introvert and explore.  You will have a lot of fun.  Stay away from social media.  It is quite toxic.[/quote]
