Episode 11: Making Friends During COVID and Meeting Your Forever People

COVID-19 was a challenging time for everyone. There was loss, sadness, anger, helplessness, or hopelessness in everyone. Join host, Avery Peel, in this episode of The Hope Matrix on Campus as she shares her story in trying to navigate making friends as a freshman in college during COVID-19. 

To some people, making friends comes naturally, and to others it doesn’t. However, can we all agree that COVID-19 made it way harder to make friends? If you were meeting someone it was probably over social media or Zoom, which is just a difficult way to get to know someone. Avery shares her tips and tricks into how she made friends during this time and she also shares how she used the SHINE framework to navigate the emotions that came with this challenge.
