How do I (21F) make friends at a new college in a new town when I have a daughter(1F)?


*I posted this in relationships but they removed it and told me to post here.I recently moved to a new city to transfer to a new college. I came specifically for a sports team. School has only been in session for a week, but it's obvious to see that the girls on the team are already forming cliques and making friends with each other. There is one girl on my team that went to high school with me in another state, so I thought she would want to hang out but it seems she's more interested in hanging out with the other girls.I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that I have a one-year-old daughter, however I have a very reliable daycare that allows me to drop her off at any time even with short notice, so it's not like I can't go out.An example is yesterday our school had its first football game. I asked the girl from my high school if she wanted to go together and she said she would probably be there. When I arrived she was sitting with five of our teammates that I didn't know would be there. I ended up sitting with them, and when we all left at halftime, they walked in a very obvious group leaving me behind with my stroller. I also heard them talking to each other about getting ice cream and I was not invited.My high school friend also posted a Snapchat today of a group of them playing the sport together for fun.I am pretty shy but I do try my best to engage in conversation. I ask questions rather than focusing on myself. I'm almost to the point of tears writing this because I feel so lonely. At my last school when I got pregnant, almost every single one of my friends stopped hanging out with me.I just want someone to practice with and hang out with. How do I make friends?TL;DR: I transferred to a new school and the girls on my team don't seem to ever want to hang out. I think it's because I have a daughter, even though I can drop her at daycare whenever. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2bvIq1b
