Cultivate meaningful relationships from "summary" of The Freshman Survival Guide by Nora Bradbury-Haehl,Bill McGarvey
Building genuine connections with others is a crucial part of your college experience. It's not just about having a large circle of friends or knowing a lot of people - it's about nurturing relationships that are meaningful and fulfilling. These relationships are the ones that will sustain you during the ups and downs of college life. To cultivate these meaningful relationships, it's important to be authentic and vulnerable. Show your true self to others and allow them to do the same. This vulnerability creates a deep sense of trust and understanding between you and your friends. Be willing to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly, and encourage others to do the same. Communication is key in any relationship. Make an effort to actively listen to others and show empathy and understanding. Ask questions, offer support, and be present in the moment when you're with someone. Put away your phone and truly engage with the person in front of you. This kind of focused attention can make a world of difference in building a strong connection with someone. It's also important to invest time and effort into your relationships. Schedule regular hangouts with friends, make time for meaningful conversations, and show up for important events in their lives. By consistently showing that you care and value your relationships, you're laying the foundation for lasting connections. Lastly, remember that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to relationships. It's better to have a few close friends who truly understand and support you than a large group of acquaintances who you don't feel a deep connection with. Invest in the relationships that bring you joy, fulfillment, and support, and let go of the ones that don't serve you positively.
