Those who did MBA / can relate: I made friends but I’m almost never in the loop about pre-games/house parties, though I see these happening through insta stories. It’s bothering me a lot.

Talk to your friends. They may not think you’re interested in the other stuff, for any number of reasons. Just tell them you want in next time! Buying people booze or food is always a great way to contribute. Don’t make it a big deal and feel left out or it will create resentment in your friendships. 2 years is a terribly short time to have any part of it cut short with drama.

First of all, show interest in hanging out. Secondly, reach out to your social chair.

Have any of you ladies managed to get over an ex after being hung up on them for years? My ex and I broke up two years ago but I still think about him every day.

While the pain has become much more bearable, it’s never gone away. Will it ever?
