Way back in February i attended an offer holder day for a London Russell group uni. i went with my mum and dad and so did many others. it started off the profs giving an overview of the course and stuff. then they separated the students and parents. students went to a separate room and thats where we had a kind of 'lecture' type thing.
loads of people ofc we dont know each other so loads were on their own. i was walking beside this girl the whole time when walking to the Arts block where our lecture hall was and i was too nervous to say anything. when we were waiting in like the lobby thing, everyone was standing kinda alone and then that same girl was walking around and she looked at me and said "i dont know where we are going", and i replied with "me neither (and smiled), i think we are going to go somewhere because drama people are different room and stuff." I could have carried on the conversation but i didnt.
we all went and sat in our places and i sat next to this other girl. i didnt say anything as well because i was too nervous.
the thing is i struggle with nervousness to just walk up and strike up a conversation with people. i wish i got someone's number or something so i could talk to them and already have made a friend but i didnt and now i think if i go to the proper uni everyone would have made friends already.
