21M New Jersey, United States / NYC area — Psychology major, oncology (cancer) unit volunteer at a hospital, & future therapist. Looking for friends; a fellow healthcare worker would be nice, but I’d love to be friends with anyone!

Hey, one day, would you like to meet up and have deep late-night conversations, outside, under the stars, with all our other concerns melting away? Okay, maybe we can do that one day, or not, whatever you’re comfortable with.

I just moved to NJ — from California — 1 year ago to be with my gf, and it’s been hard to be away from my family and friends. I haven’t been able to make new friends out here in NJ.

What I’m looking for:

I am looking for a friend with whom I can have both deep conversations and lighthearted chats; hang out; voice/video call someday; talk about our hopes, dreams, aspirations, and challenges.

About me:

I’m a sophomore college student attending an online university who is looking for friends. I’m studying psychology with the aspiration of becoming a therapist one day. (I’m the kind of friend you can trauma dump on at any time!) I currently volunteer on the oncology unit of Hackensack University Medical Center; have worked as a certified nursing assistant, and have volunteered as a peer support counselor & NAMI resource line worker. Suffice it to say, striving to help others is a passion close to my heart.

For fun, I enjoy watching TV (right now, I’m binging House MD and Rick and Morty); spending time with my girlfriend; volunteering; learning about psychology, medicine, and psychiatry; and playing basketball — although I haven’t played in a while.

Questions for you:

How old are you, and where are you from? What are your interests and goals? What’s a challenge you’re currently trying to overcome? What’s something you wish people better understood about you?

If anyone would like to be friends or knows someone who would like to be friends, that would be immensely appreciated! I look forward to hearing from y’all!
