I'm finding it a bit difficult to get to know the people in my kitchen and in my course. The people in my kitchen are really nice, but I can't seem to click with them after five days. They're not normally the type of people I hang around with, but I can see myself having a great time with them. I think we're done with the "what's your name and what are you studying" conversation, and it's now the "hi, how are you? Did you have a good time last night?" bit, but I can't think of any good topics to talk about (besides their course). It's like I expect them to talk to me, and I don't like it.
The people in my course are a little different. Everyone in my lectures seem to have formed groups and I can't manage to fit in. It just doesn't feel right that I'm sitting and just looking around the room while hundreds of people are talking and laughing.
I know I've got plenty of time to know more about other people (and I'm going out tonight for a party for my roomate), but can you think of any topics or tips that might "break the ice" with my roommates or other people in the uni?
