I still did my fair share of social activities and parties in school but now I just have so much more downtime than I did in school. I’ve been able to meet a lot of new people at the gym and through other hobbies and work and now finally have the time to actually pursue those relationships.
To be honest, everyone I knew from school is now scattered across the country and globe so I don’t even have those friends but my social life now is still 10x better.
Idk, I feel like I hear most people say the opposite? Anyone else make more friends and have an overall better social life after they graduated?

Nah, we’re out here, but we’re the exceptions! My network expanded until I was about 40 when I stopped moving around for work. I’m 44 now and have a kid, I don’t have to work, but I’ve also moved to a small town, so while my network isn’t really growing much, I’ve built and nurtured a large enough network to more than sustain me, and I have to make sacrifices socially to be the parent I want to be.
So I call on you as I call on myself to use some of that precious downtime to nurture the next generation, and give back where you can!
