A Tip, Just Like I Promised!

Friendships

These are important, because they will help define you and help to strengthen your character throughout college and will help to make you the person that you will be later in life.

That being said...

1) Join clubs, join a fraternity/sorority, volunteer or get a job and if you are in class, talk to the people around you. You will get to know people and they will get to know you and that is how friendships are made.

2) Meet your neighbors. When you are in your dorm, take a look around and say hello to all the people who live there. You are bound to meet people and go to parties with these people, so why not become friends.

3) Be yourself! This is very important. You will attract people who have the same personality and work ethic as yourself, and you will create lasting friendships that way.

Now, I know that you have gone through high school and have heard this speech before and how you need to be yourself and be friendly and outgoing and make friends, and because it is true, I felt I must reiterate how important it is that you do these things. This is because I have no doubt that you will be homesick. Maybe not the kids who live off-campus and go home every day, but all the other students who live on-campus 24/7 and can't go home on a whim and will miss their family. To combat those feelings, you need to get involved and create friendships. (Almost as a way to busy your mind with other thoughts other than home)

Now another important point that I must make is that even though you will be making new friends, don't let go of your other friends from high school. During the school year, try and keep in touch either by phone or by computer, and during the summer, try and meet up and have lunch or something.

I did this recently and my high school friends and I went and saw a show and then went and had dinner. Let me just say that it was a boatload of fun and it was great seeing them. It felt like we picked up right where we left off. So make sure to do the same thing. Okay?

It's been a while!

It has been a while! A LONG while! And please know that I am not proud of this...at all.

Let's see...

I got a job and it is going great! I am so glad that I found a job and I have one less thing that is on my to-do list. I got my first paycheck just the other day and I was ecstatic! Unfortunately I couldn't think about what store I was going to go spend it at, I had to save it for books and supplies for next year. Yay! That is exactly what I wanted to do with it.


                                                           

So I said I would give hints to incoming freshman and I have yet to keep up on that promise but I promise that the next time there will be a tip in my next post. I pinky promise!

                                                      

Finally Done!

Free at last! Free at last! YAY!

I am officially done with my first year in college! Do the Happy Dance!

                                                          

 

I can't stop watching the dancing guys... :)

So let me just say that all went well and I felt pretty okay during the tests.

So now that I am done with school and I am in the summer I won't have any more stories tht occurred in class. So... I have decided to give helpful hints for those incoming freshmen. If not hints then just observation that I have made through out my year in college.

One more yay for good measure! YAY! I think that this guy needs some music, so sing a song in your head or if you are listening to the radio or something similar, that's even better!  :)
