lonely at freshers

Hello all. It is freshers week here and I am alone for the majority of the time, such as now. I do not live in accommodation and therefore I do not have the chance to meet people through that. I have gone to some events, and talk to people, but everybody is either already in groups or just scoop up other people - leaving me alone. It is really making me find this uni experience rather difficult and very lonely, and is making me tear up writing about it right now. I know lots of people find it hard, but there is nobody around who looks like they are in the same predicament as me. I also find i come across as nervous, but it is not as though I leave the conversation to fall into an awkward silence. I do not know what to do as I am really struggling with this and it has only been two days, yet others seem to have found friends and a life here already.
