Do well in ENGR 145 this summer by practicing the art of collecting random friends<\/p>\n

By Larry Chiang<\/p>\n

Random friends.<\/p>\n

How many do you have that are what you would categorize as random? As engineering undergrads, it’s incredibly beneficial.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to sell you on doing this.<\/p>\n

I will give a few ideas on where and how to get a few random friends.<\/p>\n

– Make friends with the staff<\/p>\n

It starts with asking their name.<\/p>\n

– Make friends with a random old person<\/p>\n

As an entrepreneur and pre-entrepreneur, it’s super easy.<\/p>\n

I am not a conscious competent when it comes to this skill because I’m very unconscious about it. Sorry I’ve only a couple ideas… Wanna brainstorm more with me?! Add them in the comments below<\/p>\n
