Can you believe that I've been here almost a whole term, and you're the only friend I've made?
No, how can that be?
I don't know, you know me better than anyone else here at school. I thought maybe you could give me some advice.
Sure, um, do you belong to any clubs or organizations? That's the best way to meet people.
No, I don't have a lot of time to go to meetings.
Neither do I, but, I do play school sports. It's just a group that meets regularly to play basketball. Of course, there are lots of other teams. You could join a football team or baseball, volleyball. Just go over to the Sports Center and sign up.
I'd like to do that, but I don't want to take time away from my studies.
Well, then why don't you join a study group? That way you won't feel like you're wasting time and besides, the people you meet will be serious students, so maybe they would be better friends for you anyway.
