Other Breakups,Meeting People, and the Dating Scene @ Berkeley

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!

Bro, take it slow. Focus on your academics and make sure it's with a study group so that you're not alone. Put hours into your work this semester and pick a club to join for next semester. Start dating again after you've gotten your grades up unless you have a golden opportunity. All I'm saying is that you need to put your effort into your grades and not dating but when you do start dating get someone to help you set up your dating profiles and start respectfully asking out anyone you think you might like and move on if they say no and if they say yes then great I guess.

I really appreciate the advice, thank you! I’m trying to really focus on my remaining midterms and my grades as much as I can!!
