Make 2025 your own
I wanted to share a little success story for those of you who are looking to make friends and find new hobbies. I posted almost a year ago asking where to go in Raleigh as a newbie. From that group, a subgroup formed on Discord and has now become a regular friend group where we celebrate birthdays, brunches, holidays, game nights, you name it!
My new year resolution last year was to go out every other week at least once, as I'm a bit of a hermit, but I can confidently say I ended the year on a good note.
If you are a new resident, or even just looking to form new friend groups, I highly recommend making a post about your interest. Offer to create a discord, set a date to meet and do an interest, and follow through. I'm a bit lucky that I'm the extroverted introvert who plans it all, so I get that following through is hard for others. But see how it goes and put some faith in other humans a bit!
Our group of 6 came out for my bday this weekend and we already plan an anniversary brunch! I hope to see more of yall out here making friendships 😄
