I finished undergrad in December, 2013, and I fortunately have a medical school to attend in August. Everything is great especially with the 8-month break, I thought, until one or two weeks ago when I started to feel extremely lonely.
In the past three months, I've been working out, playing video games, getting a part time job, reading countless books, visiting old acquaintances, and catching up on several TV shows. It's been great. But then I realized how much I miss having people in my age group around me. I practically have no friends in my hometown, and I cannot think of any way to meet new people. I never knew that schools provide the environment in which I can easily connect with other students who live under similar circumstances. Now that I'm outside of academia, at least temporarily, approaching people is difficult. I am not antisocial, but starting a conversation with a complete stranger with is quite awkward.
How do you make friends outside of schoool?
