Im a first year uni student and the way i became a part of a group of friends it wasn't easy, i always kept in my mind what one of my teachers said in senior year of high school, she said :'' Now that you are meating a lot of new people, you should talk with everyone, connect with everyone so you can see with who you stick together more''. The first day, i was unexpectedly a part of a group that was made just that day because we all were searching where was a lab, but i wasn't sticking or connecting with them, so i started talking and introducing myself to everyone. Get out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid of rejections or thoughts like '' How will i be a part of the group, when everyone are so close together, try more and you'll get there'' You are so inspiring for us the viewers, imagine for people meeting you in person, give yourself that strenght cause you got it !

about the uni experience, second year is where it makes all the difference!!! first year i had friends but we weren't CLOSE close but friend groups change sm in second year honestly, especially when courses change i promise just hang in there
2nd year was where I was closer with my friends for sure. Even then, it was still a small group. Quality over quantity always. Don't put too much pressure on yourself - it's hard to find your people in first year and I'd say it's quite rare to xx
I hear you about not having a big friendship group but I've gotten to be okay with it, not to discourage you from finding a group because I really hope you find one, but I have had really really bad experiences with friendship groups and now I keep all my friends separate, like they don't know each other, and I'm more than okay with that. It's worked out for the most part.
for some reason i’m just not feeling like watching carys’ videos anymore, and i loved her sm and she calmed me and always put me to ease but lately i’ve been feeling so hectic and chaotic internally, i feel like a part of me that loved watching my fav youtuber is gone and i’m going to keep these videos on my watch later until i feel good enough to watch them again ;(
honestly in first year we had one like 20 person friendship group, but now im just finishing up second year and the group has split into two and many many people have left the group.. promise you that smaller friendship groups are so much better xx
im not okay, i think i gained some weight and u know the last three years have been so tired always worrying about my weight and fighting with ed and bulimia so i just came here,she comforts me so much i love u carys
hi hi Carys, about the friend group (I never went to uni btw), I think it really is just something that u build as time passes, I think if u get along with everyone u can or want to, u’ll be fine :), friend groups just happen when u less expect or think about it honestly; but that’s just my experience in other academic fields, lots of luv for y’all
i agree, i used to have a big group of friends at uni, it was fun when hanging out or party, going on a trip, etc until some of them know a lil bit about my personal life and talked shit thing about me even i treated them like real friends. So yah, now i'm stick with small group of my close friends
I'm graduating college (US) this year and i just never got a friend group like that -- I have made so many friends though! My biggest takeaway is that there is no "typical" college/uni experience and the people who have the kind of experience we see in media is literally like 5% of college kids
this was so comforting, i'm in the same boat with very few friends at uni and it was so comforting hearing my feelings reflected in someone else's experience
Carys , don't worry about finding a good group of friends at first year alot of ppl can't makes friends at first year , I found my group at third year and I really had the best memories ever ♥ I hope u find a great friends cuz you r such amazing person 💗
I just graduated uni and I thought/think the same thing when I finished first year and saw so many ppl online post their pictures, i also felt a bit like an outsider but over time I realized that it just does not fit my personality, and I ended up doing other fun things that included a lot of people not necessarily in one group, for example club tennis which allowed me to do something new and meet a lot of people with the same interest. From this I would suggest joining something on campus that you can show up to every week for yourself and eventually meet people from all walks of life. From that I realized that doing that around my third year has set me up for success in post grad life, as at the end of the day I do things for me and people just come along with it. I hope this helps ❣️
I've completed all four years of uni, first two years were a blur (stupid covid) third year lockdown was over found small froup of friends which just kept getting bigger and bigger, but now at the end of last days it really do be your few great friends who stuck with you. Its always quality over quantity, youre doing great! Have so much fun in US!
I’m in my final year of uni and it’s taken a long time to learn that I’m just someone who prefers to have individual friends over a big group! So many uni events favour having a big group but I found the best thing to do was to just try and remain confident in my preferred friendship style and accept that sometimes uni made that challenging
I was in a group of friends. We always had fun together at school, but outside of school, they left me out. They would go out together, and no one asked me to join them. And now that our studies are over, no one asks about me anymore 🤷🏻♀️
I love Aquaphor, it's great for lips and I also use it to heal my tattoos lol. I went shopping after work today, I work at a makeup store and I got the about face eyeshadow - we literally just put it out on the shelves - and omg it is stunning! I love your videos
you have to think no one posts not having a big group of friends and the bad parts of uni like social media is only the highlights and what people want you to see i don’t have a big group of friends and i think it is the case for majority of people but you fixate on the things you don’t have when you see them on socials alot ❤️
it feels like I fell in love with you again, because in this video it felt like true you. with sarcastic comments (spit it out), beautiful accent and such deep thoughts that hit too close to home
I love your videos so much!!! Btw I’m in my fourth year of uni and didn’t find my two best friends until the second semester of my second year!! I also really tried to be part of a bigger friend group that didn’t seem to take that much effort to invite me etc. (because they got close in the first year and I didn’t live in the city of my uni yet) so in the end I think quality is better than quantity! And don’t worry, you’ll find your people❤️
God I really felt the part about uni! I have a couple friends but I really hoped I’d become part of a huge and close group of friends but it hasn’t really happened yet 🥹
one of the way to make new friends in uni is joining events as a committee🤩 you can make friends from different courses even different ages! while organising activities and working with them, slowly y'all will become friends, trust me! the bigger the event the better 🫶🏻 it may seem hard at first but it will be worth it!
