Its definitely hard to make friends as an adult, so why not reach back into the past and pull an old friend out of the hat?

I moved to NYC at 27 with no friends, no family, only a job offer. It took me 6 months to get settled and in an apartment that I felt comfortable with my wife moving up to. But in that 6 months, I had co-workers that turned into friends, strangers from the neighborhood that turned into friends, and old friends that I reconnected with now that I was 2000 miles away from running into them randomly at a party, funeral, or starbucks.

So if you have a job, start hanging out with those people after work. You can easily find friends and mentors in that group.
