I used to be so devoted to my academics that I kind of forgot to make some close friends. How do you reignite your social life after college?

There's too many of us in this boat lol. I've personally been connecting with people online, and if we have similar interests, we plan a meet. It's not as organic as in college but it's been kinda working for me.

Mostly Bumble BFF.
If social platforms are not your thing, try saying hi to someone when you you are waiting in line for lunch or coffee. I've met some of the best people that way as well. And I like I said, a lot of people are in this boat - the person in line is probably looking for friends like you.

Just finished undergrad and started my job remotely. I’m back at home with my parents and noticed I’m lacking the drive I had in school/internships because I’m way too comfortable here. Any advice on how to overcome this and stand out from a remote perspective for someone just starting their career? Especially with making myself known and remembered outside my team other than introductory calls, because you can only really do those once

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
