<p>for me, its probably getting straight A's. im going to a school with a lot of grade deflation and am taking some pretty tough econ classes so im a little nervous since top grad schools look for 3.7+ minimum gpa</p>
<p>lesser fears would be getting a solid group of friends and getting a good internship after freshman year</p>
<p>Major Fears:</p>
<p>Doing well –> Minimum of 3.6 GPA
Adjusting to College Life</p>
<p>Minor Fears:</p>
<p>Pursuing my interest in Track.
Getting a solid Internship my Freshman Summer of College.
No more wrestling [WWE Divas 
]</p>
<h1>1 Fear: Not doing as well in college as I did in high school. I’ve got to keep a 3.5 at all times, lest I loose a lot of money in scholarships.</h1>
<h1>2 Fear: I’m hoping it will get better, but I’m so dependent on my mom. Not do laundry or cooking, but just to vent and talk to about things. I’m not going to be far away, but I’ll miss coming to her with everything and I don’t want our relationship to change.</h1>
<h1>3 Fear: I’m praying that I’ll love and be good at my major. I’d be crushed it was wasn’t and had to change.</h1>
<h1>4 Fear: Home won’t be home anymore and I’ll miss out on all the wacky things that go on in my house.</h1>
<p>so I’m a rising sophomore, but I would say my biggest fear was making a solid group of friends, especially because I didn’t know a soul before coming to college.</p>
<p>Something to keep in mind is that whatever you fear, everyone else is likely worried about the same things too.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’re going to Brown, you’ll enjoy loads of grade inflation, not deflation.</p>
<p>Major Fears:</p>
<p>[ul]Acting stupid on a regular basis
[<em>]Having remarkably poor time management
[</em>]Running out of money
[<em>]Not spending enough money and starving
[</em>]Getting horribly sick and having to use a communal bathroom
[<em>]Pigeonholing myself into a group that I hate
[</em>]Being sexiled[/ul]
…the list goes on and on.</p>
<p>And as for grades, I don’t anticipate having any higher than a 3.2 GPA. Better to keep the bar low and either satisfy my expectation or exceed it. :)</p>
<p>Edit: On second thought, maybe not that low. But you get the idea.</p>
<p>like brown14, I’ll be going to a school notorious for grade deflation. I’d like to keep a 3.8 GPA; it sure would help a lot when I start applying to law school!</p>
<p>Also, I hope that I get along well with my roommates. It would suck otherwise.</p>
<p>“Getting horribly sick and having to use a communal bathroom”</p>
<p>That happened to me like six times last year. After the first time it stops being particularly horrifying.</p>
<p>Haha, I’d probably put getting sick and dealing with the bathroom as one of my tops too. I think finding a group of friends is also up there. I’m actually not too worried about grades as much as I am about social life. Friends, roommate, avoiding drunken parties, being accepted, etc.</p>
<p>mmm…I want a 3.75 just to get into the honors. I’ve always been the best at math in school so I’m worried I’ll just be the worst for some reason.</p>
<p>
can’t do both :)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Grades … like LivingOxymoron, I’ll be losing a lot of scholarship cash if my GPA falls below a 3.5</p></li>
<li><p>Facing the “isms”… let’s just throw it all out there, this is the point in our lives where many of us will have to come face to face with some kind of prejudice for the first time, if not already. I’m just nervous in how I’ll be able to handle “ism” encounters without losing my mind </p></li>
<li><p>Stepping outside of my comfort level to get my foot in the door to a lot of opportunities, which leads me to number four …</p></li>
<li><p>Networking … arguably one of the most important things to do at college</p></li>
<li><p>Being around so much competition … no longer the big fish in the small pond =[ haha</p></li>
</ol>
<p>^oh yeah, I worry about racism but I’m trying to think most people are good and that it’s racist of me to assume white people are gonna be racist</p>
<p>also I kinda just imagine me kicking someone in the nuts if he makes such a comment to me</p>
<p>Not being able to handle the courses and thus, shooting my GPA down the drain :x</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Grades. I’ve managed to get by with abysmal study skills and terrible time management in high school, since I have an excellent short term memory (so I’d study for a test for a few hours the night/morning before, and still pull an A/A+, etc.) but that’s not exactly going to work for college. </p></li>
<li><p>Living with a roommate =/ I know it’s something everyone goes through, but I tend to be neurotic about my privacy.</p></li>
<li><p>Being across the country from home.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>i second the roommate thing and the cross-country trek.</p>
<p>Fear 1: unable to catch up with others
Fear 2: too introverted to have new friends
Fear 3: will have not enough time reading history and literature ( I major in science):(</p>
<p>1 - That my roommates and I won’t get along AT ALL. I’m in a suite, in a triple, with two other girls (five in total) so we’ll see…</p>
<p>2 - That I won’t make any friends either. Any real friends.</p>
<p>3 - That I’ll do horrible academically.</p>
<ul>
<li>As one has stated earlier, I worry if my study skills are lacking to be successful in College (goal: 3.7~4.0 GPA in order to get into Dental School).</li>
<li>Living in a dorm with a roommate. I’ve shared a room with my sister before, but it’s different with a complete stranger. I hope we get along!</li>
<li>Being a loner, ahaha. ^^; I’m very shy, but I’m trying to overcome it! I would like to make friends for life basically, and hope that not everyone I meet become stuck in the region of study-buddies or acquaintances.</li>
<li>Time management. I’ve yet to conquer procrastination.</li>
<li>Living away from home, missing out from home-stuff and my family’s lives. >.< I have two younger sisters in middle school. I’m afraid I’m going to get home-sick!</li>
</ul>
<p>1: Hating my classes and major (unlikely… but what if?)</p>
<p>2: Finding out that my Computer Science classmates all play Starcraft 2 and don’t do anything else. <half joking… lol</p>
<p>3: Dying GPA</p>
<p>4: Freshman 15+ ;)</p>
