How could i find real friends in college?

i'm 17 and currently in college. Before i left my high school, my friends and i were very close and we still are, but because i started my college earlier and some of 'em went different directions, we drifted apart a little bit. My friends and i were very close and knew me very well. Now, in college, there're different kind of people and most of the girls in college think i'm jessica simpson-like, goofy and dumb...well, i might be goofy and dumb at times, but i'm not stupid. How could i find real friends in college? Plus, how can i change their minds that i'm not 'karen' in mean girls? thanks y'all!

How could i find real friends in college?
Hi


Dont just try to make friends cos friendship cant be made it happens...but you can sure do one thing which will attract others to you.. you need to do something cool..you need to keep good humor...just think good about yourself and pray god study well..





..even i had the same problem as your..but i diverted my attention towards my studies and started to do good in class and then automatically i got a lot of good friends

Reply:well first of all nobody can tell you how to do these things because you jus need to be yourself and if they dont accept u then forget about them cause they dont decide weather u get a college degree or not so dont worry urself
Reply:Being away from dear friends your grew up with is never easy. Making new ones can be difficult. I'm sure there are others in your same shoes. Get involved in whatever ya enjoy (as far as clubs, etc) You may find like interest of others in such clubs, etc. + It will be possible for others to see who you really are....rather than making a snap judgement about you. Also ask your past friends what they've encountered, as well as their solutions. G'Luck!
Reply:High school and college is very different. Everyone is in there own world. Not everyone wants to be friends with everyone but i am sure if you look for one you'll find your friend. Patience.
Reply:You need to change you attitude towards making friends. Let it just happen, don't run after them, change the way you see yourself, you are a unique person, nobody is like you anywhere in the world so be happy and confident in yourself and believe me soon people will want to get acquinted with you, then you can choose those you prefer.
Reply:well every one needs a friend just go up to some one and ask thats what i do.
Reply:This is in no way to poke fun of you, but making references to being compared to Jessica Simpson and whoever from Meangirls is a good place to stop.


College is a rich experience and you should take every advantage of it. You will find as you go on the things you did in high school no longer appeal, and neither do the types of people that you used to call friends.


If anyone there is judging you or are being harsh with you it is because they are feeling the way you are.


Take up the library, join clubs, start one of your own, and focus on why you are really there, which is for an education. People will find their way to you eventually.
Reply:Hm,you need to just start talking to people and introducing yourself in certain social situations and start also by joining a club or fraternity or just open to people that you come in contact with
