Interested in making new friends and expanding your social circle? Showing interest in others by asking questions is a great way to start. Struggling with what to ask? You’re not alone! Many students feel unsure of themselves when trying to start a conversation. It’s natural to feel awkward at first, but don’t give up — the more you practice, the easier it gets. Try these questions:
