New in SLO

falieson · 08-17-05, 07:13 PM

I just got into SLO a few days ago. Moved in to my apartment up on westmont and.. now I am bored.

I really don't know anyone and I am bad at walking up to random people and asking, "will you be my friend?"

I am a pretty cool guy and usually have plenty of friends- but I really don't know how to make my first friends in an area except through school or work.

Any ideas or offers?

Are you planning to attend WOW? Best way to make friends during your first week at school is from that.

definently gonna attend wow.. but thats still 25 days away!
I can't sit behind my computer screen talking with friends from michigan and rot away for that long!

Why don't you visit all the popular tourist locations and sites in San Luis Obispo and travel around before school starts. Familiarize yourself with the town, campus, and different places.
BTW, do you have the apartment all to yourself?

yup, the apartment is all to my self, but none of my stuff will be here (Except my puter) till the end of the month. Heh, I am sleeping on the floor.

I don't have a car, I am doing the bike thing - so if I want to go down to the beach (which I am proly gonna do this coming week) it will take a few hours both ways on the bike. Which, I don't mind - but am not willing to do daily.

I would say I know the area and campus pretty well now, I go to SLO daily for different errands and food.

It is just hard being here for a month and the only way you get to talk to anyone you know is friends at home over the phone or aim. I might be meating up with an SLO person I got in touch with through myspace but still, it is nice to know people in person.
