Been there, done that, going thru that now. One of my reasons for going thru Alum Initiatiation and joining Beta Sigma Phi.
I got married a year and a half ago. Prior to that I moved 3000 miles away from my family and friends. Besides my now husband, I knew NO ONE! And it is hard for me to make friends
I would definitely recommend if your GLO has an alumni chapter, get busy with them there. Take classes, join a gym, do volunteer work...whatever.
One thing I did was get a pet...
Well the pet found me (an abandoned kitten)

Ok everyone....how about a flipside problem? I'm 24, madly in love, and getting married soon. My friends are not. Most do not have significant others & don't really want to have one. Also, my friends are spread out all over the country. The ones that are in Pittsburgh are all about going to clubs & stuff and that isn't my scene anymore (don't let my post in the Random thread fool you).
So, I'm pretty much alone in a city where I don't know anyone and am far away from family & friends. Sometimes I want to put an ad in the paper that says, "Won't someone be my friend. Pretty please?"
Maybe it's the whole graduating from college and being really on my own angst that is getting to me. It just sucks though. I cry all the time because I haven't been in this situation before and don't know how to handle it.
Anyone have a similar problem and could give me advice?
