## Social Advice
|
||
|
||
#### What is an affordable way to watch movies with friends?
|
||
|
||
If you’re looking to watch movies with friends then you can either buy cheaper (Tuesday prices) at the Student Life Center or Waterloo has a list of streaming sites where you can watch free movies.
|
||
|
||
#### How can I become more involved on campus?
|
||
|
||
Join different clubs or societies! They’re a great way to make friends and manage your time better. Plus, it makes going through a school term much more fun.
|
||
|
||
#### How do I build my social skills and get out of my comfort zone?
|
||
|
||
Take up the opportunities for meeting people. You never know who you might meet. If you don’t put yourself out there and take chances, it’s much harder to find a relationship, friendships, or even study buddies.
|
||
|
||
#### What can I do to prevent being affected by the competitive environment?
|
||
|
||
Be kind. Celebrate your friends’ successes when they get a co-op job and support them when they’re struggling too. Waterloo is so competitive and sometimes it can be hard to navigate through, so make sure you’re giving and getting a good support network.
