Once you have stepped foot onto your college campus or university's grounds, it is time to set aside your anxieties and find ways to get involved. From joining a student organization or playing intramural sports, there are plenty of fun activities to do in between classes. Not only do you increase your chances of making friends by participating in extracurricular activities, you also have an outlet where you can release school related stress. Being in a new place at a demanding time in your life can cause even a calm person to have worries. Take that nervous energy and turn it into something productive. Land yourself a campus job and take advantage of all the perks that employment has to offer. Besides earning a paycheck, you put yourself into a position to have face to face contact with your peers all day. Strike up a conversation with a co-worker and see where that leads.
