Persona:
| Project | Team 19 |
| Role: | Student |
| Goal | I want to meet people who I get along with… |
| Motivation | because I want to meet like-minded, cool friends to make the most of my time at Stanford. And I love the feeling of connecting with new people. |
| Conflict | 1 – I struggle to have enough time to continue to get to know people when I do know they’re cool.
2 – I don’t know how interested someone else is in being my friend, so I don’t know how forward to be with friendship, enthusiasm, following up, or even just asking questions |
| Attempts to Solve | 1 – I intentionally schedule lunches
2 – I try to meet friends mutually or in spaces I’m comfortable in, because I know that people who are interested in similar things to me might also have similar friendship patterns and goals |
| Setting/ Environment | Setting is in class, dining hall, or serendipitously wherever I’m working (eg Tresidder).
Environments sometimes hinder me because I have a class I need to get to, or I’m TA’ing a class where I don’t have time to get to know students. Ability really trips me up because it feels hard to socialize and continue getting to know someone when I don’t know how interested they are in being my friend. |
| Tools | I have a phone and computer. |
| Skills | Making people feel comfortable, asking questions |
