How to get closer to your tc

I see a lot of you guys upset because you and your tc’s aren’t close. But I have a few ideas, because I have gotten somewhat close with mine.

This is just excuses to talk to them pretty much.

Make small talk. Whatever it is, smile or wave in the hallway, come up and make small talk after class.

Go to extra help/tutoring. This was the main thing that got me closer with K. This is mainly if you have trouble in the area of the subject, but it’s great one on one. You can talk A LOT.

Emails. “My Tc Is ToO sErIoUs” STILL EMAIL THEM. Sometimes if you have a question, email them! Could even throw in a few friendly words.

Try to make them laugh. Even if it’s not direct. I once told a joke to another girl and I just hear this small chuckle from across the room. And there K is, snickering at my joke. So try that!

Almost forgot that some of you do online schooling! Not to worry, sometimes try to muster the smallest question up and pm them!

Here’s something I’ve done before: sometimes K makes us just do certain questions for homework, and I did an extra one, just to make small talk. If that works, do it!

Compliment them! I would mainly compliment their outfit, but don’t be too exaggerated about it.

If you email them, always start off with “Hey (tc), I hope you’re doing great.” That gives off “I’m being friendly” vibes to them, so they’ll be friendly too!

Ideas!

“Hey! I don’t understand (question). Can you explain it please?”

“*insert witty remark that would make them laugh*”

“Hi, I think I left my (item) in here. Have you seen it?”

“I like your (item of clothing)!”

Feel free to think of more!
