So my little bunny foo foo Whitney decided to get all serious and stuffs on her blog today and you know what I thought, other than the fact that she is a smart little princess? That I just sure don't do that enough over here in Shenanigans land. So today is story time.. it's too bad it's 9am or else I'd tell all of you to grab a glass of wine and settle in. I guess coffee will do.
Once upon a time there was a blonde headed sorority girl who went to the greatest college in the country, Oklahoma State University. For three and a half years, she skipped around and had lots of fun and made lots of friends. Did she make mistakes? Oh heck yes she did. But did she learn alot? You betcha. But this story doesn't have the happy ending you're all hoping for, because come one cold December day she had to dress in a black robe and walk across a stage to get her diploma.. and the next day she had to leave and drive 600+ miles back to that square state they call Colorado.
Fast forward to a year later, and that blonde headed girl was 22 and in a sad state of affairs. She had been working a terrible job, tried and failed hard at moving to Texas, and then she lost her job. We all know how depressing it can be to try and find a job when you don't have one so what did she do? Well she started a blog, and it was the greatest decision she could have ever made. It kept her from being all Debbie downer about not only losing her job, but also losing the close group on friends she had made through said job.
Jump forward another year (or just picture One Year Later scrolling across your screen movie style), and blonde haired girl is happy. Thank goodness for that! She has a job, she's independent, she loves blogging (and most days it loves her back), and best of all she has found an amazing group on girlfriends all around the country that brighten her day on the regular. We're golden right? Well, not exactly. You see as amazing as her blog girlfriends are (and they really are, I swear), homegirl is hanging out in a really fun city with no close friends.
Okay okay enough of that third person nonsense, here's the truth. It is so damn hard to find friends when you're an adult. It's even more hard when you're naturally a shy person. So I'm turning all of that around, or at least I'm trying.
Step one. I'm attending an Alpha Delta Pi alumni dinner next week. Do I know anyone else going? No. Is there potential to meet new people and maybe make some friends? Oh yes there is! Let's hope I get some balls sometime in the next week and that I don't act like an awkward shy weirdo.
Step two. An Oklahoma State Alumni dinner in April. This one is still up for debate. I think I'll go to the other one first and see how it turns out. The OSU will be way more people and the thought of that sends my anxiety through the roof. Oh anxiety, what a gem.
Step three. Join a gym! Let's face it, not only is there potential to meet new people.. but I could stand to get off my booty a couple time a week.
So that's my plan and I'm sticking to it. Cross your fingers that something great comes from it. I mean right now I'm focused on the finding friends thing, but a date or two wouldn't hurt either right?
That's all I got friends. Have a wonderful Thursday! xoxo

EXCEPT SOMETIMES THE BLOG FRIENDS ARE THE BEST ONES!
and then you just curse every, single day that you don't live next door to them. but it's true - it's hard to make friends as an adult. but i also think it's because we're much more picky as we get older. our time is valuable and i'll be damned if i'm going to waste it on someone who is just going to end up sucking me dry.
The alumni dinner sounds like so much fun! I hope you have a great time!!
Whoa whoa.... did I completely block out the fact that we are ADPi SISTERS?! Hayyy <> <> <>
Let me just tell you... this whole Twitter/blog world I'm in? I affectionately refer to it as "Online Dating For Girlfriends."
Three years ago I asked JGIWC out for a coffee date after "chatting" on Twitter for a few weeks. Fast forward to now - she's one of my bridesmaids.
Another idea? When I moved to NYC and was having LOTS of trouble meeting friends, I joined the Junior League. Participating with a volunteerism-based organization is really a great way to meet new people. First off, you're doing a nice thing for the universe and I 100% believe good karma helps. Second, you're already in a group of people who share an interest and dedication to whatever organization you're helping.
Good for you putting yourself out there!
xx BHB
Ahhh I went through the same thing when I moved up to NYC from DC. Soooo hard to meet new people around here but then I started volunteering and met some great people. I'm sure your plan will get some good results! Good luck!
I am the worst friend maker EVER. EVER. I have had the same best friends since preschool. I have no idea how to make friends. That's why I'm terrified if we have to move. I'll be glued to you like a leach. Prep yourself. Also, have you read MWF Seeking BFF? It's funny but also kind of handy dandy.
It is so hard to make friends as an adult! I moved to Birmingham 2 years ago to be with my husband, and the only "friends" I have here are co-workers. Whats a girl to do that works in a mostly male work environment and is a little shy. I am thankful that I attended an Alabama Blate last weekend and hope that those girls will be my friends. So not like me to put myself with complete strangers, but so happy I did it!
I feel the exact same way!
I have the best blogging friends out there but come Saturday night and I want to go to the movies I gots no one to call to come with.
It is SO hard to make friends when you are an adult, especially because everyone is in a different city and a different place in life.
This sounds silly, but I actually made one of my best friends from a Meetup.com group of girls who had just relocated to Seattle and were also looking to meet new girl friends. I was totally skeptical to go to the meet up but it was a ton of fun (we went to HH and then to a girly movie) and she and I started talking (there were about 20 girls total) and completely hit it off. Now she is one of my best friends. We both moved to different cities (she to Minni and me to SF) but we talk every few days still.
Check it out. They have a TON of groups for all different kinds of things (hiking, wine, girls, etc)
I know this feeling exactly except what's even sadder is I'm still in the town I grew up in and have no friends. But I blame my ex husband so it's ok lol idk if you are religious but I recently joined a small group that is all girls my age and I've only gone once so far but they seem to be girls I might be able to become friends with. Good luck. It's so much harder than when we were in school.
There should be a "match.com" but for friends!! Sometimes I wish that there was another outlet to meet people!!! I decided to start volunteering with a group and made many friends that way - good thing too because you know that you are surrounded by like minded people! I can't wait to hear bout the ADPi alumni dinner (Chi-O girl myself), that sounds great! I would make "business cards" that say "looking for friends" or "looking for shopping partners" haha. Great conversation starters!
You are not alone! I am in the same boat while I LOVE all my bloggy friends it really sucks they all live so far away!
I am hesitant on even taking my daughter to playgroups,etc because I just am NOT good at making new friends!
Hope your dinner and all that stuff turns out....sounds like a fun time!
completely agree. i was an ADPI at school too and moved 7 states away from my besties. and trying to make friends outside of work is HARD.
good luck with the alumni dinner. i didn't have much luck with the alumni here. they weren't really what i expected...to say nicely.
but i started running and i am joining a running group. here's to hoping!
<>pi love<>
I can totally relate to this! Although I don't live far from my best girlfriends, I do live 45 miles away and when you have a long commute to work 5 days a week, driving down there isn't always the most exciting thing to do. I'm also incredibly shy, so I'm that awkward turtle in the room that doesn't know how to start up a conversation!
Your plans sound like the perfect way to accomplish your goals. And hey, meeting new girlfriends can always lead to a boyfriend ;) Good luck!!
I am in your boat too! I just moved to a new city and don't know anyone. I like the idea of attending a sorority event, so maybe I will look into that!
Good luck and thanks for sharing!!
I feel your pain! I live in the city I moved to college for, which is great...except that all my college friends moved back to their home states. And my high school friends are still in or near our home state, so they are all an 8 hour drive away. So I'm stuck hanging out with just my boyfriend. Good luck finding friends! Hopefully you'll be able to share more tips soon!
I'm completely with you on this! I grew up in IL and was a total socialite in high school and then I went to college and lost it all. I had friends at the first school I attended mostly due to how close it was to my hometown (an hour away) and the fact I knew people there before i attended *cough* my bf went there *cough*. After a few transfers due to major changes that weren't supported at the schools I attended etc., now I'm in GA with my husband, my parents and my son. I'm a stay at home mom/online grad student so I don't get out much. Thank god for social networks. I really need to look into ways to get out there though.
OMGosh, yes! I've never been the most outgoing of people, first off, and then moving to a smallish city where most people have lived their whole lives makes it hard to break into a group! Factor in a husband, fulltime job, kids...and then I just feel like I have no time! I really love your ideas about how to make some new ones! Wish there was a match.com for friends!!!
I completely agree with you. Finding friends is harder the older you get....I am still trying to figure out how to meet some.
But I have decided that the blog ones right now are the best ones!
I totally agree! It's so hard to make new friends when you are an adult! But your ideas are great! You will definitely meet a bunch of new people.
I also joined a volleyball team and have made some of friends that way. I don't know if they are going to be my bffs, but it's something to do once a week, with people I like to hang out with.
I don't know if you have this option, but if there was anyone you were friends with when you were younger, it's great to rekindle a friendship with them.
story of my life.
I moved to Florida 3 years ago and have all guy friends because those are the only non-creepy friend I could find online, one of them turned out to be my soon to be husband,
but anyway, I Have like no girlfriends and it's SO hard to find people to hang out with. My hubby always trys to hook me up with his old girlfriends from high school and I am like um no. that's weird.
gyms are awesome, and yay for going to dinners to meet new people, you are way more outgoing than me:):)
Ooh, I'm going to add on to Samantha's comment from above -
I joined the Junior League to meet girlfriends. A year after I joined, my committee co-chair invited me to a party at her apartment. I met my now fiancé at that party.
I feel like making friends as an adult is very difficult! It seems like it would be easy, but it's not...especially if you live in a big town, where it feels like everyone is busy doing their own thing.
I feel ya on the friend thing my dear!!! I've joined one volunteer organization that I hope opens some doors to friendship and Im looking into joining Jr. League! You should look into that!!! Its a great great great way to meet motivated well rounded gals like yourself!!! Its a national organization AND they even have chapters in oversea countries! Plus, if you have to move, you can automatically transfer to the new chapter you will be close to!
Exciting!! :) I am crossing my fingers that the alumni dinners go well! I have thought about going to one here, but I haven't been brave enough!
My best friend and I had this exact discussion yesterday. It is really hard the older we get, and especially for me (32, single, no kids). I have plenty of married with kids friends, but find it difficult to find friends that are single like me!! I'm really shy, too, so it makes it hard and I feel really awkward going places on my own to meet others! UGH! I'm just now taking small steps to make friends through blogging. Good luck with the ADPi meeting...good for you for taking the first step/initiative!!!
you have me!!!!!!!!! and don't forget it!!! and i'm real. right? i think I am. but these are good ideas. and it is so hard after college. ugh life.
Oh my goodness. I totally feel ya girl. I moved to Cincinnati 4 years ago and it took me prob 2-3 years to find girlfriends. It's so hard to make friends as adults! Best of luck to ya. It sounds like you have a great action plan :)
It really is hard to make friends as an adult - and no one ever talks about it! Good for you! Good luck at your social engagements :)
I've always been really shy and I tend to work way too much (aka I work weekends) so I'm in the same boat. I had a good group of friends growing up but I decided to move away and not go to college so I lost a lot of people. I'm back now but sadly everyone else has left the area so I'm like hermit mcgee around these parts and it gets a bit much. I'm cool chilling with myself I mean I do movies, dinners, and bars BUT I keep to myself. Le Sigh.
Oh my gosh I am SO glad you posted this! I have no real close friends here either. When you move to a city when you're 23, everyone already has friends. Sure, they are nice to me, but they aren't people I can call up on Saturday to get a mani with. Good luck with the dinner, I'm sure it will go great!!
PS - I had no clue you went to OSU! My BFF went there and I almost transferred there because I fell in love with the greek life.
Amen. I live in NYC (born & raised here) so it's not like I never left and tried to make friends in a new state or anything ... but even still, I still have trouble making friends in my own backyard. I have maybe three people IRL I can consider a real, true friend ... but honestly? My best friends? The people I talk to on a daily basis? Are my blog friends ... you ladies who I've never met in person, who live all over the world ... We text, tweet, google chat ... but the friendships are real, and special. Would I love the chance to have dinner and drinks with you all? Of course ... and maybe someday it will happen ... but no matter what the distance or the circumstances, you (we) still have FRIENDS ... just long distance ones :)
Thank you for sending me to Whitney's blog. I died and fell in love with her because I did the same thing, naturally.
Also, real life friends are a pain in the ass. I like my internet friends better ;-)
I feel like I could have written this exact story...I know how you feel! It is SO hard to make friends out of college..where the hell do you find them? Hahaha I have been trying to figure it out too. I love that you're an ADPi...some of my BEST friends are and I am a Chi O! In college friends were just...there. Now we have to work at it...yuckkkk.
xx,
Jess

This is why I still think when you join a blog and make good friends, you should just move into a community with those bloggers. How awesome would that be?!!
Being in a sorority it's hard going from living in a house and having so many people you could go have dinner with to moving and having limits number of friends. I still haven't quite figured out what to do about all that. Lol
Happy Friday eve friend. Love Love love
Ah! I wrote a post almost identical to yours a few months ago.
Check out meetup.com. They have groups in every city and you join based on similar interests. I started one here and we go to brunch, happy hour, dinner, etc. It's a GREAT way to meet people with similar interests, becasue it's impossible to meet cool adults where you actually live!
I can totally relate, but for different reasons. I had Boomer pretty young, when my friends were all doing other things. Now they're settling down and having babies and she is almost 7. Also a lot of my friends moved out of state ect. Its funny how much I talk to you blogger friends more than people in this city...must fix this.
I feel the exact same way! I have a few friends where I live, but most of them have boyfriends, are engaged, or married and well we know some people fall of the friend train when those things happen. I've joined a gym, so hopefully that helps? I just need girl time.
I am naturally shy and not very talkative at first. I find it very hard to stay in touch or even make new friends too.
Here's the deal...friendship is Ah-mazing, but also SUCKS the big one. What? Yeah, that first sentence wasn't a typo. I have a lot of close friends, or thought I did until recently. All of a sudden shit hit the fan and I have no idea why. Now, i feel as though I don't have near as many friends in my hometown as I thought. And then there is blogging, I have a lots of blog buds, but none as close as you and your girls have. It's magical and disappointing that you ladies can't be closer to each other. There are so many girls that I have met in blog land that I wish I could hang and drink wine with every week. Moral of this comment, friendship comes in all shapes and forms, and as women WE NEED that girl time and connection in our lives. When IT'S NOT there, somehow we all feel empty. I hope that these upcoming events spark some new lady friends in your life!
I haz a crush on ur hairz.
How do I make this comment anonymous?
No but honestly, I call us friends. Like real life friends. I think going to the alumni dinners will help and I'm glad you're making the effort.... there's nothing worse than "feeling lonely" ... Girls need GIRLFRIENDS. And when you become so popular in CO I hope you remember us blogger friends. That's all.
Here's the thing. You'll never ever understand how much our friendship means to me. We get each other. We love each other. And that's just it. We'd do ANYTHING For each other. I mean, the worst part about life sometimes is that I have friends here, but none like I have in you girls. Life is hard. Hard enough. That's why we have each other. I know a higher being brought us all together as a shoulder. As a friend. Life is better when its shared. And I believe that with everything inside of me. I'm just so happy to share it with you, Tyty, Naynay and Whitty. I hope we stay friends forever. And maybe, just maybe, one day we will live close to each other. : )
I have had the same issue with friends! My real life best friends both life in different states so I rarely see them and my people here..are not best friends but people I talk to...its hard! Keep your chin up! Your amazing!
I have never had an easy time making friends. But, I once thought it would be easier as I got older. I was wrong. It is much harder! I am super shy and my insecurities often get the best of me. I've also found that most people already have their go-to friends, so trying to integrate into that can be a mess. Hoping you find some great gals you can call friends!!
1. Serious question: Who needs friends when you have Apothic Red? I mean really. 2. I'm just going to have to move to said square state and hang out with you every day. Just try and stop me. 3. To be honest, I'm dead tired of all my friends here. Mean? Probably. But I'm just over it. Finding new friends is no easy feat. 4. Your purse is fabulous.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!! I Couldn't scroll fast enough for the comment section here... drum roll! We are SISTERS! I was an ADPI At UofA in Arkansas! Alpha 06! :) I know a few gals over at OSU that I met from running recruitment! Your post was great and I'm SO glad you opened up because now I can say we connect b/c we are sisters!! sorry this may be silly to you but your the first blogger i've realized is my sister :)
I can relate. My closest friends are my mom and husband. It sounds sad, but I don't mind it too much. I'm kind of a homebody anyway and shy! Although there are times I wish I had a close pal to call and hang out with.
Thanks for sharing this post, it's good to know we're not alone! :)
I love this post. I wrote you a really long comment and it wouldn't allow me to send it. sadface. But I emailed it to you instead haha!
I can totally identify with the struggles of graduating from college and struggling with a real world social life. One of the fist thing I did was go to my sorority alumnae meeting when moved to a new state. I met great people, even though I knew NO ONE in the room and was totally scared going into it. Another way I met people was through volunteering with different organizations I was passionate about. Just an idea! Great post!
Girl I am right there with you! I had to move across the country due to my husband being military and it's been a year- still no friends. The thing is people say they wna make friends but don't make the effort to actually hang out. Can't tell you how many army wives I have as FB friends but have never met them face to face :/
Well for starters - I love that you love blogging! (I do too!) And yes, it is so hard making friends as an adult. My husband and I talk about this all of the time. School makes it so much easier to make friends, form connections, etc. I love your plan to meet new people though!
Lexi @ Glitter, Inc.
Such a great post! I love how honest you are! Isn't it crazy how life can turn in a heartbeat? God bless you girl!
I went to Oklahoma State for about a year and a half. I loved the school but Stillwater was just a little too small for me. I am now in Columbia, Missouri (my home town) but often find it difficult to make new friends. Wishing you the best and just know that your blog friends think you are totally awesome!
Karen C.
You are such a smartie! It is so, so hard to make friends once you're an adult unless you really click with a coworker. I am super shy too, but I'm not too sure how to kick the shyness! I'm lucky I have the friends that I do and love them so much, but a few of us are still single/unmarried and in the fun, stay up late mode and a few have gotten married and had babies, and us girls in the single/unmarried group are starting to feel the separation of groups getting bigger and bigger. It's pretty sad, but that's life I guess!
True story - new IRL friends are hard. I'm not sure if this is just a city thing, but DC is all about "social sports" (kickball, softball, bocce) based out of bars -- it's an awesome way to meet new people!
Who wouldn't want to be friends with you?! Put yourself out there girlfriend! Or come hang out in Louisville with me for a weekend! haha :)
Other ideas:
-Dog park
-Go to a pure barre or yoga or (dare I say) cult-like exercise class. You will find so many frannds!
-art class with wine
We have one in Louisville called Uptown Art. I'm sure you have one similar. They are all the rage.
Much luck! xoxo
it really is hard making new friends as an adult, unless you're in some sort of manufactured group setting, like work or school. maybe also think about doing some sort of 'for fun' class like painting or something. i've actually been considering taking a photography class at the local community college (because my photog skillz are so bad!) good luck girl - let your sparkling personality shine through!!

I totally hear ya, girl! I moved to Virginia 2 years ago not knowing anyone and found it extremely difficult to make friends. I finally feel like I have great friends and guess what?! It's time to move again (silly army).
I have found most of my VA friends at the gym! I also went to a few at sorority alumni meetings and I recently made a great friend at a Richmond blogger meet up. Maybe there is a blogger group in Denver?
I am more outgoing than I was 2 years ago because you HAVE to be when you're the new girl in town. I always try to remember to ask questions and not just talk about myself (my fav topic).
You have a great plan and how could anyone not love you?! Good luck!
Oh my gosh, I complain about this exact same thing every week. It's so hard to make friends as an adult. I think you're doing great things in order to meet new people. The alumnae dinners will be perfect!
Awwww! Sweet Samikins! Love your blog, love you more!
I completely agree, I struggle to make friends as a grown up and (since my husband is in the military) have to start from scratch. A lot. It is hard for me to come out of my shell and get out there, i just get really comfortable on my own and staying home! Good for you for putting yourself out there, you are brave:)
TOTALLY feel the exact same way girl! It has been so hard to make friends ever since I moved to Charlotte. My college besties are in DC/NYC and I left a lot of friends in Cali too. It sucks but I have gotten so used to just not seeing them that often - we all make a huge effort to see each other as much as we can and travel when we can, but it is still hard! Let us know how all of this goes - I have been wanting to go to a sorority event in NC but I am chicken! lol!
Get it giiiirl!! :) people will LOVE you!
LIttle Lady ADPi.. like a gem you are... please tell me you all sang that too yes? ;)
just tock it girl. xo
Joining an alumni chapter of your sorority is a great idea! I'm in a alumni chapter here in cali for my sorority and I met a girl from virginia who joined when she moved out here, and we have become great friends! I think you will meet tons of great girls to go out with!
Thanks for sharing this. It is really hard to make friends as an adult. I was in a similar situation when I moved. I ended up being so lucky and meeting my husband, but I've still never made any good girl friends here.
I live in CO! Come hang out with me, wine drinking is my favorite:)
I totally agree about making friends. I was so worried about that when I moved to AZ from Florida. I left all my friends and family in Florida.
I get lonely at times and I am having a hard time meeting people. it sucks!
I am relying on my blog friends right now.
Do you wanna be my friend? :)
XO Lourdes
OMG I had no idea you went to OSU! I went to OSU and it IS the greatest school in the country! I guess if I had been a better reader and paid attention to your about me I would have seen that. Sorry got a little excited there, love your blog. :) Go Pokes!
AMEN SISTA FRIEND.
I have recently kinda sorta made friends with a girl who I went to college with who WOULD NOT have been my friend in college but this whole "adult friend" thing really put a kink in our plans... now were just pretending were not both thinking its super awkward were kinda sorta hanging out.
Well hello adulthood ARENT YOU FUN. NOT! (I also think these situations are why liquor/wine/beer were invented)
I'm super friendly so it's easy for me to make friends. The problem is that I don't like most people. bahahaha... why aren't you using the wine mug I gave you for your berfday? Insert sad face here.
i have had this same discussion with a few of my friends!!! i moved to dallas a few months ago and am still struggling to figure out how to make friends other than my coworkers.
lol loved this! It IS hard to find girlfriends as an adult! I watch my kids at the playground and they become bff's with someone they just met and it only takes 2.5764 seconds. When and why does that change as we get older? It's kinda sad, in a way, but it definitely happens. Which maybe is why we cherish so much the friendships we made when we were young and still have to this day. loved the post.
My bloggy friends are AMAZING and I don't know what I'd do without them.
But, in real life, I'm the same way. I don't have a ton of friends. I don't go out much unless it's with my sister. It's just so hard to make friends when you're 27 and single and they're all married with children.
I totally get what you mean about the whole awesome place with no one to experience it with! Grown up friend making is HARD!! It totally stinks, but I'm slowly - ahem, very, very slowly - figuring it out (#twoyearslater). My two best friends: one moved to Texas and the other had a baby, so girl time was slashed right after that magical walk across the stage. Based on your blog though, you're super awesome so I'm sure people will love you at the activities you're going to! A friend of mine just moved back to Colorado so I'll have to tell her about the alumni dinner in April, so maybe she'll go too. Volunteering is also a great way to make new friends! I work for a nonprofit and volunteers are always, always needed :)
ALSO I just now realized you went to OSU, and, if I can do math at all, we were there during the same time, I think! So go pokes!! :)
Seriously, you are such a beautiful person and I'm so glad to know you through this crazy blog universe we are in. I love, love, love Sami and ALL her Shenanigans!
This is my first time commenting on your blog (and I always forget to update my own blog), but I, too, am a blonde sorority girl who has relocated to the square state of Colorado. So we should become real life friends. I live in Denver too!
Girl- I live in Denver! Lets get a glass of wine sometime! :)
Seriously love this post. I moved from NY to FL with my boyfriend, and literally have no friends here. Having Dom is awesome, but nothing can replace a close group of girlfriends. Making friends is so hard!! I really wish Sigma Kappa had an alumni group in my area, that is such a good idea! Good luck at your dinners, you'll be amazing! :)
le sigh. I can relate to this post and it makes me quiet sad. I use to have a handful of wonderful friends...but as I've moved around I've simply lost touch. I don't have that one girlfriend that I can call to share exciting or sad news with. I wish you the best of luck at your dinners etc. and that you meet a few friends soon :)
I totally posted something very similar to this not long ago! finding friends as an adult is HARRRRD. Seriously, getting involved with my local sorority alumnae chapter has been an amazing decision. It's not for everyone, but I have loved it!
I feel ya! I work with all girls, but I don't connect with them in the "bestie" kind of way. Will is my BFF, but I miss my BFF that has a vajayjay since she's all the way on the East Coast. I think that your Alumni dinner is an AWESOME idea. I wish there were some Deephers out here.
It's INCREDIBLY hard to make friends as an adult. I haven't done college the traditional way so I was never in a sorority. Your steps ahead of me girlie!
Love this post! Two of my best friends have moved out of state, and I've lost touch with a couple others from school since we are all so busy with work and life. I was just telling my bf this weekend how it feels weird not having close girlfriends like I did in college.
I can so relate! And it seems like when I DO find a good friend, they move away. :(
I'm in Denver too! We should meet up.
Seriously.
I'm not a scary stalker, I promise!
LOL
This is so true! Recently I moved to London after university and although I moved with my boyfriend I didn't want to hang around with just his friends but I was so lost as an adult (and not at school/uni) about how to make friends. At my first job in London my colleagues weren't that friendly either but I found a new job, started ballet class (only about 20 years too late) and go to a language meet up so I can practice Spanish - it was so scary to go to my first social events alone but I felt such pride afterwards. It's so inspiring to read your post too and I hope I can have as much fun blogging as well!
