The first thing I will do on the first day in a new school/university is to go and register. During registering, I will start looking around and exchange smiles with whomever I think would be suitable to be my friend. Usually it works, in a couple of minutes I can find a new friend talking to me and feel like we have known each other for a long time. Later, after registering, I will go to the faculty to see what subjects I am going to take and which class I am going to attend. This is the most crucial moment, because this is when I am going to find people whom I will see for the rest of the semester. I will exchange warm smiles and initiate a friendly chat. It was easy. After the chat usually we became friends. The next important moment is the day when I enter the first lecture/tutorial. This is when I see my actual classmates for the first time. I try to talk to everybody and be polite to everybody. Try not to sit quietly at my place, because this will suggest that either I am a very shy person or a very arrogant person. Lol. However, this is my personal view only, okay. Lol. My method works every time like magic. Every time I did this, I get many friends and my life is very happy throughout the semester. Maybe you can try it too, who knows it works for you too. I wish you good luck, foofoo. God bless you, and have a nice day!

after finished primary school i've got offered to futher studies in diploma at most popular local universities in my country. of course im very proud of that but it become scared of me because this is first time i've separate with my family. and i dont have friends there. So at the first day of university i just convinced myself do not afraid anymore. first day registration i always smiling at everyone and be friendly.I put away my shy and try to be friendly person. even the things i know what to do, i also ask people so from that method i can meet new friend and they will help me... at last i got new roomate and all of my friends were good person. because of that i got new environment with good condition. I feel comfortable with my studies and have lots of friends. My result also good at last
