[21/F] college semester is ending soon and i need to be less shy

hi everyone :) i go to a pretty big public college on the west coast (USA) and although I've talked to people in my classes, i haven't made any long term friends. two of my roommates told me they go on reddit to talk to strangers sometimes and it can be fun since no one really knows you. this was one of the subreddits they mentioned so i thought it might be fun to talk casually just so i can help myself not be so nervous of interaction, def no pressure though! <3
