Getting out of your comfort zone doesn’t always mean doing something totally new. Even going to an event related to something you already enjoy can feel uncertain if you’re showing up solo.

Take the chance anyway. You’ll likely meet others who share your interests and are also looking to connect. Many student events are low‑commitment, so you can check them out without feeling locked in. Starting with what you love can build confidence to try something new later.

CU Â鶹ӰԺ offers tons of ways to try new things—without pressure.

• Curious about rock climbing? Check out events and courses at The Rec.
• Want to volunteer but not every week? Connect with Service Learning & Impact in Community Engagement (SLICE) to explore short-term opportunities.
• Thinking about joining a student org but not sure yet? Go to a meeting and see how it feels.

College is the perfect time to experiment, explore and discover new interests. You never know what might stick.

Sporting events, concerts and live entertainment are easy, low‑pressure ways to feel connected to campus. You can just show up and enjoy the moment. Check out events from and Program Council to see what’s coming up.

Asking someone to join you can feel scary—but chances are, they’re looking for connection too. Invite a roommate, classmate, coworker or acquaintance to come along. Keep it casual.

If they say no, that’s okay. You still showed up for yourself. And saying yes to other people’s invites, even when you’re unsure, can lead to some of the best college memories. Most things are more fun (and less intimidating) with a friend.
