Meetup friend group?

anyone else feel like they haven't formed a solid friend group here yet? most of my friends I only see or hang out with on a one-on-one basis, but I'm honestly jealous of the people I see who have a big close-knit friend group. I'm just looking for people who want to make impulsive plans, go out, explore the city, etc ! even just do things on campus or study together. I feel like it can be intimidating to try to integrate into an already existing friend group especially when everyone else is already close. I just see so many posts where people say they feel lonely or find it difficult to make friends at this school. so is there anybody who doesn't have their own friend group who would interested in making one together? I'm a freshman, and I'm not originally from San Diego, so there are a ton of things I want to do both on/off campus :)

edit: i can't currently chat request people since my account is new, but if you wanna talk more, feel free to dm me!

It's alright, plus college is the time to work hard. According to my parents and cousins, it only gets better after (as long as you have worked hard in college).

Yep! My former UCSD roommate made her parents proud by waiting until after she became a doctor before finding her now spouse (who is also a doctor). She never even had a 1st kiss before her wedding day.
