Making friends gets harder after school — but it's very possible. The secret is repeated, unplanned interaction.
• Join a class, club, or team. Weekly commitments create the natural repetition friendships need.
• Say yes to more invitations, even when you don't feel like it. First outings are often awkward. Third ones usually aren't.
• Be the one who suggests plans. Most people are waiting for someone else to initiate.
• Interest-based communities (gaming, running, art, book clubs) connect you with people you already have something in common with.
• Meetup.com and Facebook Groups list free local events for almost every interest.
