If you've been matched through our Buddy Scheme this year, this one's especially for you, but honestly, it's open to absolutely everyone, buddy or no buddy, so don't let that hold you back from coming along.
We know starting uni (or navigating another year of it) can feel overwhelming at times, which is exactly why we set up the Buddy Scheme in the first place: to make sure no one has to figure it all out alone. Whether you're an incoming student who's been paired with a returning "big sister" to help you settle in, or a returning student who signed up to be that friendly face for someone new, this lunch is your chance to actually sit down together, put faces to names, and start building a friendship that (hopefully) lasts well beyond freshers week.
So here's how it works: head to Pappas Pasta at one of our scheduled time slots and enjoy a relaxed, no-pressure lunch with your buddy. Not been matched, or your buddy can't make it? No worries at all, come along solo and you'll be seated with other Her Campus members in exactly the same boat. Some of the best friendships start over a shared plate of pasta with someone you've just met.
Your ticket price covers a pasta/brunch item of your choice from the menu. If you're feeling like treating yourself a bit more, dessert, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, smoothies and sides are all available on the day for a small additional cost, but they're entirely optional.
This is a low-key, come-as-you-are kind of event. There's no pressure to know exactly what to say or how to fill the silence. Grab a seat, order your food, and let the conversation happen naturally. Ask about their course, their hometown, their go-to comfort show, what they're most nervous or excited about this year. You might just find your new go-to lunch buddy, a friendly face to sit with in lectures, or someone to explore Glasgow with on the weekends.
We'll have a few of our committee members floating around too, so if you want to find out more about Her Campus Glasgow, get involved with writing, events or our other socials, or just have a chat, we'd love to meet you.
Pick whichever time slot suits your schedule best and come hungry,we can't wait to see you all there. This is what community feels like: good food, good company, and the start of some really lovely friendships. See you at Pappas!
