Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

@Kashmina I'm off to volunteer at the hospital today.

I joined a chat group on hydrocephalus and have been getting info and help on surgery.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hope your volunteer session goes well @EzW.

And the chat group sounds like a good idea. Hydrocephalus sounds pretty intense ....

Happy Monday @Kashmina @EzW and happy first day of Spring! Waking up know that Winter is technically over put me in a good mood which is always a nice way to start off the week!

Do you often volunteer at the hospital @EzW?

Do you have any plans today @Kashmina?

Happy Monday to you @Ru-bee!
I enjoyed winter for the most part but as I have not been feeling the best of late the colder weather has certainly challenged me. I am glad we will see some warmer weather soon 🙂

I am studying and doing ok but struggling a bit. Government polices are not my strong point as I dont really care that much about them. I know that is not the best attitude to take but I have worked for government and it takes 10 meetings for them just make a decision to change a light bulb!

In response to: Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Lol. About the light bulb, not you. Studying is hard, especially when you have other issues clouding your mind, I know. Hope your day gets better.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Thank you @Lost52. Yes studying is hard with other stuff and I try to keep the stress levels under control otherwise nothing gets done. Plenty of breaks, hence messaging here 🙂

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Happy Monday to you too EzW, I can't believe it's the 1st September! I'm still new so I'm not sure who's who, please be patient with me. I'm glad to be here and hope I can contribute in making life a bit brighter for you guys.

Hi Kashmina, I don't know what hydrocephalus is yet, surgery is never something to look forward to. I hope you get info and support. You still volunteer, that's great.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

hey @Lost52, welcome to the forums! thought i'd just jump in to share a lil forums tip: when you want to reply to someone, you can tag their username using the @ symbol and typing it out. when you select the username and it turns blue, that means the member you've tagged will be notified of your response.

@EzW above post from @Lost52 is for you 😊

a warm hello to you all @Kashmina @Lost52 @EzW ✨

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hi Kashmina, @Kashmina @may I ask what you are studying? I'm studying creative and copy writing Yes, breaks are necessary. I'm afraid I've been having a large break, I've been dealing with depression and I had a medical procedure on Friday which tired me out for a couple of days. I've been on a waiting list for surgery now for 3years! I just want it done. How are you doing? Hey, I think I sent this post straight to you! using the @ symbol, yeah!
