    I've started at uni but most of my v. small circle of friends are in the working world. I bought two tickets to an event in town on Thursday in the hopes that at least one friend could come with me, alas no one can. Well one person could but I got the times mixed up, I thought it was on at 8p.m but it doesn't start untill 11:30 p.m, and this person has to be up early the next morning and works long hours so I would feel bad seeing as I can have a lie in and a fairly unbusy day.

    I just want to make the most out of college and it sounds like a fun event. It's only Fresher's Week so I haven't met anyone in college yet. Would it be weird if I posted a message asking anyone from here if they'd like to go? Am I being crazy even considering it? Is it a stupid idea to find out if anyone else is going and ask to tag along or am I being pathetic? I know there are Boards Beers where people from here meet up but I always get the impression that the people who go to those already know each other. I'm just a bit frustrated. Also I put on a bit o weight over the summer and I'm working it off and getting fit but it gets me down and maybe will put me off going to this event. Am I sounding desperate or just resourcefull asking here instead of wasting the tickets?

    Try posting in the University forum for your college (Edu -> XXX) , if it exists.

    Alternatively, does the student union have a notice board (or online forum) where you can post your details looking for someone to go with you.

    Remember that Fresher's week is disorientating, and you won't be the only person feeling a bit lonely and odd.

    Ask around the class what others are doing and if an opening arises invite yourself,"sounds like fun mind if i tag along" sort of thing.

    There's a Gig Buddies forum here on boards, not sure how active it is.

    Post in the college forums, also maybe Gumtree would help as well.

    Stick it in your sig as well :)

    I organise a movie club, and the main question everyone asks is if the people in the club know each other. People are afraid of not fitting in, but all it takes is a smile and a hello to get to know someone :)
