Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
- No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

My recommendation is that you team up with a group of other engineering students from your classes when they start and meet with them everyday that you can; even if you're not working on the same assignments. People carry different talents: some pick up information quickly, some can find links others missed, some have a knack for explaining things in an understandable way and some just bring positivity and relief to the group in stressful situations. Everyone can help each other and when you find that group and stick with them everyone succeeds. I know people have social anxiety sometimes but when it comes to your career and life it is critical that you expose yourself to the uncomfortable. If you love being in groups, invite people who might seem shy to join your group. Almost everyone has something to offer so succeed together and make lifelong friends at the same time.
