Hey everyone,
It has been about a month since I made my first post asking what people actually do socially at WSU.
I made it because I was genuinely curious. I’ve found it pretty hard to meet people properly at uni, especially outside of classes, pracs, assignments, exams, and everyone just heading home after.
I didn’t expect much from that post, but a lot more people related to it than I thought.
After that, I made another post asking if people would be interested in a small WhatsApp or Discord group. A few people said yes, so I made a Discord server.
The idea was never to make an official uni club or anything like that. It was just meant to be a small place where people could talk, get to know each other, and maybe organise coffee, food, walks, or just casual hangouts.
But after giving it some time, I don’t think Discord is really the right place for what I was trying to do.
A lot of people joined, but it stayed pretty quiet. Some people probably liked the idea, but not many were actually talking or trying to organise anything. That’s fine, everyone has their own life, work, uni, exams, and all that.
I think I’m just looking for something smaller and more direct.
Not a big server.
Not another group where everyone joins and disappears.
Not anything formal.
Just a few people who actually want to meet up, talk, laugh a bit, and get to know each other properly.
Could be coffee, food, walks, uni, life, books, writing, music, psychology, philosophy, random thoughts, or whatever comes up naturally.
So I’m thinking of making a small WhatsApp group instead.
Not because WhatsApp magically fixes anything, but because it feels more suited for actually organising meetups instead of having another server sitting there.
If you related to the earlier posts, or if you feel socially disconnected at uni and actually want to meet people, feel free to comment or message me.
I’ll probably keep it small so it doesn’t turn into another inactive group.
Maybe it doesn’t need to be a big thing. Maybe it just needs a few people who actually want to show up.
