I had this grand image of uni life: a big group of friends, laughter, spontaneous hangouts, relationships, sherehe hapa na pale……. The reality? I'm sitting in the mess hall(food’s already expensive), eating alone and scrolling through my phone to look busy. Who else is still waiting for their 'campus squad' to form? How did you finally make those first few friends? How do I reach out without appearing desperate.
