I started this blog as a class project, but I hope to keep it up. My professor has now graded it and given me a 98. The only suggestion she had was more pictures in my posts. Since it’s my thoughts, I can’t always think about something to show or link – but I’ll try. I’ll admit that it looks a little dry with no pictures.
Here’s something that has really improved my social life. It’s called Meetup. It is a national website that has local groups covering just about any interest. . You should first join meetup at www.meetup.com. Then, search for groups in your area by interest. Once you’ve found a group, then you join it. Some immediately accept you, but others have to see your profile first to determine if you are a good fit for their group. Once in a group, you can see all of the events and sign up for one. I am in a group called Meeting in Murfreesboro, a group for 40′s and 50′s singles. Another group I’m in is Murfreesboro Volunteers, a group that provides volunteers for various non-profits in the area. There are groups for hikers, book clubs, singles of all ages, mommy and me groups, you name it. A recent new group was a Polyamorous group – had to look that word up to see if it meant what I thought it did. Guess I won’t be joining that group! Give it a try! I have several events a week that I could attend and I have made many new friends through the site – and recently found someone to date!
