Being a college student is a daunting task for many. This also poses a difficulty in expanding one's social circle particularly meeting women. Although there may be very limited time you can devote to this endeavour, there are simple yet effective ways of picking up women in your college. You just have to know where you have to be and when.
The cafeteria is a collegiate man's best friend when it comes to picking up women. You are sure to run into hundreds of girls at least three times a day. Breakfast is perhaps the most skipped meal around college cafeterias but this may also be a great time to start somebody's day having to share a meal with. Although conversations may be brief during this time, you get a chance to introduce yourself and that is a pretty good start in laying down the groundwork for when you ask her out for real.
There bound to be coffee cart or kiosk in the corners of your campus and this can be a good chance to meet caffeine hawkers. You can ask one out to get a cup of coffee together sometime, perhaps at the very same coffee kiosk or a different place with real chairs and the possibility of dessert. Very casual but very efficient.
Participate in as many school activities as your schedule would allow. Do volunteer work that may put you in a partnership with a nice girl. Or perhaps even promote student involvement in campus matters. This will give you an excuse to stand in corners handing out flyers or knocking on dorm rooms asking for a signature in support of a student body petition.
If you happen to have even the slightest journalistic ability, try out for your school publication. You can meet great female staffers whom you are guaranteed to see a few days every week, and the same time hone your writing skills. Odds are, you will succeed in one task or the other.
Being saddled with papers, and exams, and reports should not drive you to a life of seclusion. The key is to manage your time efficiently and be goal oriented. This works with either picking up women in your college or excelling in your school work.
