I've moved 4 times in the past 3 years (no, those numbers are correct). I moved between Sophomore and junior year, Junior and Senior year, I moved to a new house across the city before college, and then I moved into my college dorm. While I was still in grade-school, the way I made friends was to make myself noticed. I was a pretty shy kid in Middle school and eventually found a niche in high school. For my Junior year, I had long curly hair, the likes most of the prep kids there had never seen. I wore old school Skater and Raver pants with regular Tees. So i was a bit different from the polo shirt, Abercrombie Tommy kids of there.
The first thing you need to do on the path to make friends is to have people notice you. Whether it's by coming up to people and saying hello, or having your own special niche is up to you, but just blending into your surroundings will get you no where.
However, nowadays, I'm fed up with trying to make new friends (I've made and broke 3 whole sets of friends already and most of the people I meet anymore are assholes)., so I doubt I can be of much use anymore. I seem to have changed into a lot more softspoken and shyer than I used to be in Person.
