Tips on making friends after college?

Hi! I was a sophomore in college when the COVID-19 pandemic first happened, and I had just transferred to a new college campus. I finished college a year early and am now finishing my masters. Because of the pandemic, I left college without many friends and will be leaving my masters the same way. The friends I had now live far away after I moved back home (borough of NYC) and they moved elsewhere. My job is remote. It’s a great job that pays great. I’m just lonely. I have a boyfriend, but he has a great friend group from college AND has already made a great group of friends in his first semester of graduate school. So when we hang out, we just kind of sit around and watch tv because he’s already tired from hanging out with his friends all the time. I’m happy for him. I just really wish I had that, too. I’m bored!

Does anyone have tips for making friends in your 20s, after college? In college (pre-pandemic) it was so easy because everyone was right there. Now I feel extremely isolated. I’m not sure where to go or what to do to meet people or make friends. I’m in some Facebook groups for my interests but they usually only have large meetups made up mostly of women twice my age (not that I don’t enjoy their company, but they already have friends… and in laws… and kids…). I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!
