How do you keep friends around?
Hi, so im writing hoping to get some ideas on how can i maintain the friendship with 2 of my friends that i met during this last semester in a tutorial. So next semester onwards and basically i will no longer have same modules with them ever. But the thing is i really enjoy last semester attending tutorials with them, and they really motivated me to study hard. They were such good friends to me and i feel it will be really regretful if i dont maintain the friendship with them. The hurdle here is, we no longer share any same classes and 3 of us are in different major. So what can i do to bond the friendship, hangout and have common topic, to keep nuturing this friendship? Do give me some advice thank you!
Hey @persistentKiwi1723
How about you suggest continuing 'tutorials' with them (online if you are in lockdown!) where you choose something interesting in a subject area you are all interested in and run it like a little book club. Maybe add in to all cook the same meal or drink the same drink while you do it, to make it more of a bonding experience outside of the 'tutorial' aspect. Eventually you might end up sharing more about your lives as you continue this new tradition.
@CoraTealeaf hey, thank you for your reply i appreciate it (:
it sounds great to do that, connecting with them using zoom. But what i can i do to find out their interest? how can i get the ball rolling in the group chat?

Well, think of something you enjoyed in the tutorials you had, or you could make a little poll on whatever forum you will get in touch with them via suggesting some very general topics (e.g. food, art, books, lockdown experiences etc.) that you could discuss and see what gets the most votes.
Likelihood is they would also like to do something like this and would welcome the thought and effort you are putting into organising this and be willing to chat about whatever.
