After college there is a dramatic turning point in our lives. It’s the moment you decide whether you stay in the comfort of the town you know or pack your bags and start a new life. For many 20-somethings moving around is necessary when trying to find a full-time position. Unfortunately, moving to a new city without any of the people you know can be lonely at first.

Sometimes it’s intimidating because people already have built friendships, but ask them to grab some drinks after work and if they ask you to go out with them, always accept! The people you meet through work will be the fastest and easiest friendships to establish.

There are so many different types of classes that you can even join more than one, which will not only keep you in shape, but help you get into a group of friends.

4. Get to Know Your Neighbors – Depending on where you’re living, instead of ignoring the people who live around you, chat with them when you pass them in the hall or on the street. A simple, “How’s it going?” could lead to a fun conversation. It’s a bonus if you have moved to a new city with random roommates because you can easily join in on the things that they do. So, next time you swing by the mailbox or take out the trash, try to see if you spot anyone your age that could be a potential friend.
4. 了解你的邻居——依靠你所居住的环境，而不是忽视居住在你周围的人，当你在大厅或街道上遇到他们时，跟他们聊天。一句简单的“最近怎样了？”就能引起一个有趣的谈话。如果你搬到新城市跟任意的室友一起居住，这是额外令人高兴的事，因为你可以很容易就加入他们所做的事情。所以，下次你路过邮筒或倒垃圾的时候，试着看看是否能发现跟你同龄可以做朋友的人。

No matter how you go about meeting new people, just try to be friendly and outgoing and you’ll make friends pretty quickly. The very beginning might feel intimidating and scary since you’re alone, but don’t give up. You’ll never forget the first friend you make in the new place. The main thing to remember is to always say yes when you get invited. It might be a little awkward at first, but you will be happy that did it in the end.
无论你准备怎样结识新朋友，只要表现得友好活泼，那么你就会非常快地交到朋友。一开始你会感到非常恐惧和惊慌，因为你都是单独一人，但是不要放弃。你永远不会忘记你在新地方结识的第一个朋友。要记住的一件重要的事是受到邀请时要说“是”。这一开始会有点尴尬，但是最后你会很高兴地这样做。
