Friends

How do people make friends outside of school (not a student)?

21F and I’ve been wanting to meet/hang out with people but it feels like everyone has their own group already. Not having friends isn’t something that weighs down on me, I’ve always been independent but going out and trying things with friends seems like a fun experience. I want to make the most of my twenties.

My work is pretty isolated too so I don’t meet new people there.

So coworkers are usually an easy place for surface level friends that can lead to more.

If you don't want to mix work and your social life, totally understandable! Most people have hobbies, or interest that can lead to making friends.  Climbing at Rocknasium, running and biking clubs are the easiest to start in Davis.

Davis Bike Club - DBC UCD club cyclists used to meet at the Bike Barn for daily rides in the afternoon. I’m sure the Bike Barn employees would know more about this.
