College move in this weekend???

Question

im kinda nervous for college starting this weekend. i was kinda quiet and self concious and had no social life in high school, i dont really have anything im good at like sports or stuff like that, i had friends who i talked to in school, but somehow never hung out with outside of it. ill be going to college this fall, virginia tech if u guys r curious, i wanna break free, any advice? i hear college is supposed to be the best time, is that true? i was excited about going out into the world on my own, but the thought of being a semi-loner is draining all that excitement out.

Answer 1

Your dorm orientation will provide you with many chances to meet new people, maybe get involved in some sports activities, such as volleyball.

There are probably intramurals, and you can do some of those activities for fun, exercise and for meeting new people.

Also, maybe there is someone there who went to your high school.... having a connection is always nice.

Be yourself, but be friendly: smile and say HI.

You will do just fine...... yes you are nervous, but accept the fact that this is a chance for you to remake yourself and shed the old personna you had to deal with in HS. Your classes will be different, you will find that once classes start, all that HS stuff fades from memory quite quickly.

Good luck to you and much success!

Joining a club will be a sure way to meet people.  You could even look into joining a greek organization (frat/sorority)  There are even ones that are coed and some are based on majors.  Even if you don't join, during recruitment you will meet a TON of new people!
