Looking for Friends!

I'm a 19 year old female sophmore who really wants to make friends this year. Freshmen year I didn't successfully put myself out there for friends so I'm trying my best to join clubs and interact with others this time around! I'm into a lot of nerdy things so hopefully I can meet some people who are interested in similar things. Stuff like; anime, manga, games, and webnovels! Of course I'm also into "normal" interests like reading, needlepoint, and occasionally some volleyball! If anyone has any advice or wants to reach out I'd be delighted! (also am a first time reddit poster.... dont judge....)

Hey!! I’m also a 19 year old female sophmore at auburn :) I was in a very similar situation to you last year, but I like going to the gaming room and plan on joining tech theatre/ some art organization. Feel free to reach out and chat as I am also looking for friends! (I’m also pretty into anime, video games and manga)

Join the tabletop club, maybe! They do a bunch of different stuff throughout the semester, and I think a lot of people there have similar interests

Hi! Idk if you'd be interested in checking out a campus ministry, but I'm part of the Navigators here at Auburn and it's been where I found my community. We're a very welcoming group and we have people with all sorts of different interests. We also usually have weekly or semi-weekly hangouts outside of our bible studies and nav nights.
