The Eiffel tower is a beautiful bold structure that everyone wants to visit, but have you ever noticed how isolated it is from the other buildings? Sometimes, we feel isolated too. So, here are 10 things you can do when you start to feel like an Eiffel tower. 
- Start small: whether you send a text to a friend or talk to a new face at Uni, starting small can lead to future friendships and broader opportunities. You could even start with your customers or co-workers!
- Join a club: hanging out with people who have similar interests can help you feel more connected in society, and doing more of what you love is a bonus! CSU has plenty of clubs you can join or start your own.
- Get active: behind the wall blocking your motivation to exercise is a healthier, refreshed you! And whether it be a new gym or a cycling club, meeting new people is an added benefit to the many pros of exercising.
- Get online: Social media is a great way to get into contact with people on the web. Reaching out to people online can be less daunting that face-to-face, making it easier to start up a new conversation.
