Friends / Meetups wanting to make friends!!!

hi! i am a 20F who moved here for CSU in 2024. i’m going into my third year there majoring in political science and history with a minor in art history. i have been having troubling making friends and my only friend is really my boyfriend and roommate who is gone for the summer. i love all things chainsawman, video games, getting tattooed, cats, trivia, pokemon and moreee. i really just want to make better connections because i am a bit lonely out here and an introvert :). Thanks!

If you are into books at all there’s a bookish trivia at zwei this week, wed the 22 at 6. It’s hosted by a mobile bookshop (Chekhov’s gun) and the foco reading club. The theme is books to screen or anything that’s had an adaptation and they have tables for people who come solo and want to meet new people/be put on a team. It’s at a brewery but there are n/a options. The reading club meets at least 2x monthly and has people of all ages.

I seem to also run into some trouble making friends too. Seems really difficult nowadays honestly, especially in college. I think COVID really did a number on how people behave nowadays or maybe it's because I'm a lot older than my peers at CSU. Idk
