Get out. Make friends. Meet people in NJ.

New to NJYP and kinda new to the area

Hi everyone...

So, I'm new to NJYP - haven't been able to make it to any events yet, and not quite sure which ones are "newbie" friendly. I lived in NJ most of my younger life, but moved away for four years of college. In short - I don't know where the places to be are at all around NJ for people our age. I'm looking to meet some people to go have fun with, which I'm hoping isn't terribly hard.

So I guess this convuluted message boils down to - Hi, I'm new, what do I do now?

You should start by going to some NJYP events. That's what I did when I moved here about a year ago and I met some cool people, some of whom were new as well.

Hey Keith!

I'm relatively new too, and I haven't attended any events yet either (just due to schedule conflicts... and many events are pretty far from Ocean County). So here's what I did... I posted a discussion just like you did, and made a bunch of new friends! AND, I proposed we go out to Jenkinsons in Point Pleasant this Friday the 25th, and a good handfull are going out! It's easy!

I'm a fan of the clubs and bars in New Brunswick, so just let me and others know when you want to go out and just like that, you'll have some new friends. Good luck!

Hi everybody - thanks for the replies!

For starters - I know I have a weird random picture for the profile - I'm trying to find a proper picture I can throw up :-p.

I currently live in North Brunswick, just south of New Brunswick, and work in Edison.

Unfortunately, this weekend I'm not free - otherwise I'd totally join for Point Pleasant. I'll post a "New Brunswick" bars meetup in the coming weeks - especially useful as I have no idea where the good bars are :-(.

Well, back to work before I get a manager to breathe down my neck :-p.
