yeah i actually do have some advice for you...first of all relax, college is an exciting experience that i know you'll enjoy. enjoy the freedom that comes with college,but remember don't let all this freedom distract you from your goals..some people can't take all the freedom they get and they end up wasting their first year on partying , skipping classes and just having fun...of course it's alright to party,but you just need to learn how balance your time right...also don't be scared of the professors. they're here to help you so make sure to visit them during office hours. one more thing don't forget to network. heres the definition of networking in case you don't know...“Networking is making links from people we know to people they know, in an organized way, for a specific purpose, while remaining committed to doing our part, expecting nothing in return.”
lucky you, i can't wait for college
Parties, drugs, sex, booze, and drugs to accompany school work and making friends.
you'll be immune in that situation soon...
that is part of growing up...
yeah, what shon said.
Forget about your old friends. They're drop like flies. You'll meet your real friends in the next few years. Most of all go to class (most of the time), have fun, meet new people. You should be excited.
you make friends super fast, all freshmen want to do is meet loads of people and party, so unless ur socially awkward im sure ull make plenty. just try not to **** up ur grades because fixing ur gpa is really hard, but party party drink have fun have lots of sex and when ur not doing that sleep eat and try to go to classes
The first year is the hardest but don't worry you'll survive it. I felt the same way when I started college and now I'm doing great. The best advice I can give you is to make a lot of friends so you don't feel alone. Try to understand how each professor works and you'll be fine. Finally have fun , it will make it easier to adapt to the change. Best of luck. College is not that hard so don't worry.
In all honesty, I have no answer for you, but you aren't alone! That's my best advice... there are a lot of people that won't know anyone and won't be near home as well. So, don't be nervous about it and get out there and meet people.
If you're still nervous, try seeing what groups your college has on facebook and meet people on there so that you will already have a little network of familiarity.
Most of my friends have just left for school as well, and I have another week or so until I go almost 2000 miles away for my first year of college. So, I mean it when I say you aren't alone, but to keep things close, we are each keeping blogs with what we are up to, and when we left, we all made signs to put on each others' dorm rooms and made comic books of our memories together.
umm, im pretty outgoing and love the prospect of starting fresh and making connections in a new place. So im not sure if im best-suited to offer you advice. However, i am going through a similar process...ive spent the last 5 years of college in gainesville, FL and next month im heading up to chicago for grad school. believe me when I say that my entire world is still back in gainesville...but thats ok cause chicago is more exciting.
It should be pretty intuitive that you have an opportunity to make lots of new friends and experience new things in a new environment. Try to get excited about that...in this day and age, theres no excuse for you not to stay in touch with everyone youre leaving behind, and 3 hours away aint that bad.
Trust me, it should be the best time of your life, dont worry. Theres always exceptions...the city or the school just might not fit you well, but assuming you chose this college for good reasons, then you'll be fine.
Just be yourself and don't limit yourself on who you are going to be friends with. Don't try to be someone you are not because people get annoyed and say stuff.make friends with your roommate too, and your RA, because it's good to have someone on your side nearby.
