Seriously, all of a sudden...
Six months ago I was living in another state, within seconds of friends (having to go as far as the room next door or the house down the street to see them), and going to college...
I missed the orientation for post-college life....it is crazy! I love it...but so different...
It is nice to know that a lot of my friends feel similar - as in it is a major change...and a transition period.
One thing that has helped has been having a dog - really - dogs are great roommates, as well as a great resource for meeting people. First of all, I am going outside of my building much more frequently than I would if I didn't have a dog, which gives me more chances to see people in my building, and meet people that live in the area. Also, who doesn't want to pet a puppy??...which means people are constantly stopping to chat and pet the dog...
Another thing that has helped is getting onto a softball team...I met some great people and I only played four games with them - but that still led to other things - like invitations to play in other leagues, to go out at night, and even a couple of dates. I did have to sort of force myself to go to the first game; I was kind of nervous, like those first day of school nerves...at least I didn't have to sit there while they picked teams, I already had one. www.craigslist.org - found my apartment, my vacuum, a softball team, and a volleyball team to play on...
Thank you craigslist!!!!
