"I have formed some new friendships through clubs, classes and extracurricular events. I joined the last semester and made some friends in that club by sharing common interests. Within my own classes, I just talk to the people around me and discuss how things in the class are going or other classes. The conversations mostly consist of school-related things. As for extracurricular events, sometimes I go to events like Loteria Night or something of that nature and just start talking to people."
