This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Also, when people say meet others at college they don't mean in the classes, especially not in the lecture halls lol. They mean in the social events...

I met the love of my life at a literal exam.

I think the trick to it is that you shouldn't force any situations like this to have any sort of outcome, just keep yourself open to new people. Like set up situations where you can meet new people, and have your attitude be "I'd like to get to know you, so we can either be friends, more than friends or never meet again if that's how it shakes out", and just keeping it low stakes. And then just try to get into those situations as much as you can.
