College!!!

God sam, it has been forever. I remember you from way back when.

There are so many people that you can hardly be labeled "new kid" when you go in January. I'm trying to find someone that I could respect, a new friend to hold dear. There are a lot of just plain idiots and losers, and you have to navigate around them.

My room mate is pretty cool. A little anti-social, but a good guy. Whenever you meet your room mate, don't be afraid to lay out the ground rules. If you cover those early, you should be fine. As long as you NEVER loan your clothes to her, she will have little opportunity to steal them. I never walk into his side of the room, it would just be too uncomfortable for me, whether he is in the room or not. This isn't to say your room mate won't be a low down thief, but the implications there are much more grave than her just taking your clothes.

I love how everyone talks to me like if the loser kids aren't my best friends. I just don't want to eat lunch alone.

My next question is for anyone, I'll be a freshman this year, but I'll be taking sophomore classes because I'll already have credits from high school. If anyone knows, is community college dramatically different than a regular state college?

Plus Way, I don't wanna sound like Bratty McBratterton, but I do have a few clothes and purses that are worth a lot. But at the same time, I don't want to meet her the first time and be like these are the rules, I'll kill you if you don't follow them. Plus, I don't want people in my dorm either, do you and your roomate have people over all the time?

I have been hanging out with this fraternity since I got here. Really nice, enjoyable people. They kind of take the middle ground between party and academics, which is what I have been looking for. There is one that is literally having a party, and therefore getting raided, every single night. THAT frat has shopping carts in the front yard to throw your beer cans in. Ever seen Animal House? But I am definitely going to rush and pledge to the one I am currently talking to.

my frat in college had a coke machine by the pool filled with beer so for a quarter you could get you a cold one after class they even mixed a few Heinekins in so occasionally you'd get lucky and win the beer lottery imp: frats are pretty cool if you find right one.

There are two separate rooms, connected only by a bathroom, which four of us share.

We all met on the second day and set ground rules. No girls over at such and such, don't do this don't do that. And everyone just seems concerned about not offending the rest. Play by the golden rule and you should be fine.

All dorms usually have a lock box, keep your expensive stuff in it.

man i've stayed the night at several of my friends dorms when visiting and after leaving i was always glad that I had my own apartment. I'm not really a people person though. You're dorms actually sound like they're tolerable though. I think one of my friends was the same way where it was one big building with a open courtyard in the middle, each door opened to a hallway with 2 dorms on each side and a bathroom at the end of the hall. That wouldn't be so bad. My other friends had dorms that were like 20 or 30 rooms in a hallway. That shit was so annoying with all the people coming in and out and doing goofy shit.

I think the coolest dorm I've been to was my friend that was a senior and an honors student. Each dorm had their own bathroom and were super nice inside. Thats where I'd want to stay, heh.
