Hello and advice needed :)

You are starting the year with being stressed already? Don't worry because of course you will meet people that will be your friends. Those events aren't for everyone anyway so if you feel uncomfortable then don't go; do only what you are comfortable with!

You just need to have a decent eye for people who don't do all-nighters. Are you sure none of your uni's Freshers events take place during the day?

You should just relax a bit because everyone has the same nerves before uni starts, it's just like the beginning of college. I dont find interest in attending Freshers parties either, but go to the first day and try to check out the different activities and societies your uni has, that's another way you get to know people, plus you get tons of free stuff!!!

There should be a calendar of events organised by societies which take place during the day or fairly early evening. There you're more likely to meet people you have similar interests to anyway.

I didn't go out in Freshers but attended all of the day time activities which was fun! Then I made friends on my course, through student ambassador work and just about. So don't worry !! You have to be yourself and do what you enjoy, but also as you become more independent you'll have to go through a transition of telling your parents what you're doing, rather than asking if it's okay. For example if me and my friends go for a drink after lectures I just text my mum saying I'll be home late and that way they can't protest (not that my mum minds)

Honestly I feel the same, going out drinking and clubbing just isn't my thing - but I still don't wanna be left out. If someone invites you out then don't limit yourself, try it, it could be a good night out. But if you don't wanna then it's not the end of the world, people will like you for you - you'll still meet people on the course. You should try looking in to joining some societies at your uni, there's usually one for every interest so it's a good way to meet like minded people

You don't have to go to the night time stuff, but can attend some day events.

I would advise you get involved as much as you can - not because its vitally important to make new friends during Freshers, but because it helps develop your mindset to push yourself out of your comfort zone and to interact with others.

Dont worry too much if you dont go to Freshers - you'll meet friends through your course and also through societies.

The best advice i can give you is to join societies - its a great way to meet new people.

I'm sure there are many other people who are feeling the exact same as you about Freshers and things like that! Try to find those people! I'm sure you'll have no problem making friends! Good luck!

That's great to hear and sounds interesting! I feel more relieved now haha . I will try my best to be myself. Do people make friends after freshers week too and did you find people introducing themselves at that time too? Yes I agree haha. Thank you for your reply, it helped a lot .
