The First week is Over

It's not the workload nor the number of contact hours. It's not having to wake up for 8am lectures or finishing at 6pm+. And it's also not having to adjust to a slightly different learning pattern. 

I think most of us would agree that the hardest part of uni is making friends. There is no scheduled lunchtime for everybody. There are no guarantees that you'll be able to sit next to a familiar face in lectures ranging from 15 to 500 people. Suddenly, everyone has become a "floating friend" in my mind. Someone who you see rarely/occasionally and hope to hang out with for a period of time. 

I don't like to be alone. And during one lonely lunchtime i was tempted to solve/avoid this by studying in the library instead. 

But i think the solution is to be proactive. Make prior arrangements for lunch. Look for people. Crash lectures during long breaks if you have to. (Although i don't recommend Finance... too boring haha) Hang out with existing friends and become friends with their current/new ones. Talk to new people and hope to bump into them enough. And somehow still see people from other universities/campuses. 

I don't know. But i think it's slowly working.
