Establishing Yourself In College

When you are trying to establish yourself in college, it is important to keep in mind is how to start and hold a conversation. For many individuals, communicating is rather challenging. For myself I have social anxiety when speaking with others. As for others they may not know what to say.

Some ways to go about communicating is through commenting on the weather, local sports events or what you think about a certain class. If these do provide you the results you are looking for then, I would fall back on offering a compliment. During the process of saying one of these things it is important to be an active listener. For myself, I stay up to date on events going on in the world through (River News), for those who do not know what his is, it is a mobile app that offers various stories from reliable sources.

Though college may be different, I encourage you to make the most of your time here as it goes by quick.
