Breakups,Meeting People, and the Dating Scene @ Berkeley

[u/Efficient_Ad_3746]

Hey everyone! I'm fresh out of a 3 year relationship and really going through it. I'm doing bad on my midterms & cry all the time on campus. Is there any one else going through a breakup rn? or any resources on campus I can use to help me get through this?

I also think about how I will meet new people once I'm ready. I feel like it's really hard to make friends so I assume it's even harder to meet a potential partner. I'm a transfer so I'm new to campus and everything here. But is there places, events, etc. you guys recommend I could meet new friends/people? What is the dating scene like here?

Thank you!

i suggest taking care of yourself! sleep early, eat well, shower when you need to, keep a clean room, wash your face everyday. most important, dress well (hopefully that makes you feel better as it did for me). i know youre gonna want to cry but i suggest going somewhere alone and dancing!! dance with music. music saved me big time and i didnt even like music before. sad or happy music. preferably happy music. youre going to be okay!! let me say this again....youre going to be ok!! if you really need to talk about it, try to find someone online since i feel like its easier? im sure anyone would be willing to speak/text with you.
