My first semester of college will be done virtually — how am I supposed to make friends?
A recent high school graduate wrote into Group Chat with concerns about their first semester of college . “My school just announced it will be going fully remote for at least my first semester due to coronavirus,” they wrote. “I’m terrified that ... I won’t ever ... develop the lifelong connections everyone always talks about,” they continued. “What can I do here to stop my college experience from being completely ruined?” they asked. Here’s how a few ITK writers responded. Kelsey Weekman said: “Your fellow classmates will 100 percent be eager to meet new people when you can head to campus". Justin Chan said: "You’re about to spend more than 50 percent of your time in Zoom classes, so take note and look them up on social media". Katie Mather said: "Seek out Facebook groups, social media pages and group chats related to your campus and your passions"
