-Meeting People-

We’ve already talked of posts and off-site chats, but
how do you really set the foundations of meeting people? As a newcomer to the
site, you will have no newsfeed and no new friends and will possibly be unsure
of how to make them. So, here are a few tips for different kinds of students on
meeting people.

For the new students among us:

Look on the forums for new
posts fro other students and just add everyone you can. Also add professors and
prefects, and look on your common room feed. It is likely a member o your house
will welcome you and offer any help you need.

Once you;ve got a fairly
substantial amount of people added and a good main feed, start to post
yourself. It may seem like there are to many other students who are posting and
you will feel shy, but just go for it! As said, it’s the first way to make
friends.

Once you’ve got a few people
regularly posting on your posts/feeed who you like, start talking to thm via
owl and so on and perhaps meet up I the student lounge. From there, you can
make many friends.

For those who have been on a while but never seemed to
have been able to make friends:

Once again, start posting and
adding people! Make yourself heard and you’ll soon start making some new
friends, especially if you already know the ropes. Also befriend newbies and
you can start creating social circles.

For the ones who have been gone a long time and find
that many of their old friends have gone:

First, try and find the ones
that haven’t. You may feel lost and lonely, but you’ll soon find that there are
many other veterans you may remember faintly, and by having something in common
with them, you can start making friends with their friends. Also, of course,
post!
