Amazing Vacation

I am planning a very long, very detailed post about my FABULOUS vacation to Florida (re: Disney World and Wizarding World of Harry Potter).  It's coming.  I promise.

"The Adult Vortex"

So, where do adults go to meet other adults?  What I mean is, if I want to diversify my group of friends, where do I find people who I'd actually want to be friends with?  I currently work at a school where the majority of the staff is much older than I am.  There are maybe 2 other staff members under the age of 35.  I am not currently involved in a small group/young adults group at church, because the churches I've been attending over the last two years have not had these sorts of groups.  For the summer I'm working with more people my age-ish, but there are still quite a few that are a good chunk younger than I am, and only one or two that are about my age.  So...where do I meet people?

My mom calls this the "adult vortex".  m-w.com says:
"Definition of VORTEX

1

: something that resembles a whirlpool vortex of battle — Time>

2

a : a mass of fluid (as a liquid) with a whirling or circular motion that tends to form a cavity or vacuum in the center of the circle and to draw toward this cavity or vacuum bodies subject to its action; especially : whirlpool, eddy b : a region within a body of fluid in which the fluid elements have an angular velocity"

 

I'm not sure if that definition actually relates, but that's ok.  I think her point is that I am not alone in this issue.  So, anyone out there have any suggestions?  I hate being so far away from my good friends in California and having so few friends here in Oregon.  I feel like my social life is lacking, and I am not motivated to get out and do things like I might be in California.
