# It's a difficult one
I think the key is not to think about it too much. I used to agonise for ages about what to say before and afterwards where as its best to just let the flood gates open to some extent.

That said I do spend most of my evenign lurking on a message board so I'm not sure I have any place to advise from really :)

# anyone has to be better than I am
I go for weeks at a time without saying a word to anyone...

# hmmmm
that's a bit of a bugger. NO people at uni that you could group together for a post work drink/meal/thing?

# don't know
I don't know any of them

# Truly
I feel as if we are sharing a buoyant receptacle.


Erm, I mean we're in the same boat.

I know that's an entirely useless thing to say.

doesn't matter. This whole b3ta thing is pretty useless but fun

# Aww
Night time b3ta really is all very nice.

I've never been in a thread that's gone this far over before. I'm quite excited.

# used to be quite common
when the board was really slow. I don't like daytime as much, it moves too fast

# best thing to do is just to start talking to them about crap
it'll get easier. Most people will be happy to have a chat - the others arent worth bothering with - unless they are cute/have money

# I can't do that
I'm afraid of them
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Fri 31 Oct 2003, 2:53, archived)
# yeah I'm usually affraid of people
it's one of those things that you need to start off small and work your way up on

I started by chatting to people in coffee shops - then pubs - then classes again. Now I'll talk to about any one

# I can't talk to people in coffee shops
that's too big of a step for me. I need something easier

# I was on a rather heady brew of anti depressents
and cocktails on the day I decided to set myself down this path.

It's not a mix I usually recommend - the cocktail tasted of a very very nice hedge

# eww
hedge?
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Fri 31 Oct 2003, 3:09, archived)
# Yup
I wouldn't have another one - but I would have to say it was lovely

but well over 7 pounds for a drink is more than too much for me

# Boink.
That's exactly what my 1st month at uni's been like. It's all a little...strange to say the least.

# AHHHHHHHHh first years
I did two first years - have as much fun as you can meet as many people as you can druink as much beer as you can possibly imagine - worry about the rest of it later. That's my advise

# I
will rock and fucking roll.

# Me too.
I wanna go to the Manchester b3ta meet-up but I'm scared I'll say nothing and I don't know anyone and ARGH!
(I helped save b3ta! Mullet Over, Fri 31 Oct 2003, 2:47, archived)
# lots of b3tans are quiet
I'd suggest going to a b3ta bash, even if you don't say much they won't mind :)

# yeah
that was meant to be the half truthy semi jokey thingy - but I got confused with my missplaced myths

# You should come.
Cos then if nothing else I can at least talk to someone about how I talked about coming but wasn't sure cos I wouldn't know what to talk about with people I didn't know.

Do you see?

# I'm in
uni halls so I can't help with a bed, but Supermoore has a whole fucking mansion to put people in or something.
And beers a-plenty I'm sure. Isn't that what bashes are for?
