Rebgirl, you have every right in the world to be terrified, very terrified; because this is what seperates the kids from the inteligent ones, like you! Plus, you'll be leaving the child behind forever, you are an adult living and doing so!

Don't worry about making friends: everyone is in the same boat. Stress trying to find rooms. get there, they never got you enrolled. Maybe bought the wrong books. etc. everyone too pre-occupied to even see you!

THESE ARE THE FIRST SET OF THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE! You can go a day ahead or so and find your rooms to ease that. It is very frustrating looking for your next room and 10 min to do so. Everyone else is too! Learning professor's names and what the rules are!, where to park and how much time it takes to get a spot to park. making sure your schedule works for you, drop and change to another teacher.

No one is concerned if you are there or not, they don't and you don't have time to socialize or make friends, unless you are in the dorms! It isn't like kindergarden where you have to go on the playground and play with each other. Variety of age there leads to great classroom conversation and you spend time getting to know anyone, for some time. They tend to want to see your answers and conversation contribution to see if they'd like you. The exception is men, they would like a date. That isn't so bad, but you love John. They will make friends with you and go to the lunch room if you ask.

There is so much to do, clubs, etc. You can actually be a member of the volley ball, badminton or whatever there is things.

The people aren't pissy, little spoiled brats as much anymore. They don't stop the teacher with talk that , interupt and waste time of teaching in the room. That will not happen, because they are there by choice as opposed the have to and must of yesteryeear! Everyone is very different. You'll chat to the person next to you, briefly. Then rush to next class. Youl'll have some team projects and meet by working together.

The experience is so well worth it! You will be happy in college more than you can possibly imagine. With your inteligence and skills, the college ought be nervous!

Different and scheduled events with all your peers. You are goning to meet more people that are introverts and so intelligent, they have a hard time talking and relating. Making friends is a very slow process, with a few exceptions. Go to those parties, the football game and watch out for those parties and rallies?

All the luck in the world, gotta go:stoned: and can't think. pr:hippy::hippy:
