<li>Bad grades, I reallyyyyy want to try and get a 4.0</li>
<li>Having an awkward/bad relationship w/ my roommates</li>
<li>Doing something stupid and getting a bad reputation</li>
</ol>
<p>Butttt I don’t think any of those will happen :)</p>
<ol>
<li>academics</li>
<li>leaving my family (only for a couple days)</li>
</ol>
<p>other than that nothing really, im not worried about making friends because it’ll happen by itself, best not to think about it too much.</p>
<p>Hmmm…might as well post my thoughts on this, since my views are probably a little different.</p>
<p>1.) Biggest fear is not having college meet what I “thought” it was going to be. I am going to Madison, my dream school for so many years, so I don’t want to have TOO high of expectations only to get them shattered.</p>
<p>2.) Getting some type of video game/internet addiction the first few weeks in because that might stunt my social development in college. (not kidding here)</p>
<p>3.) I’m not too worried about academics. I’ve had my lumps before in high school, but the one thing I DO worry about is getting an undeserved grade over a cruel grading policy. I think I’ll get my fair share of Bs (and Cs and Ds), but I won’t be surprised also if my grades actually turn out better than they were in high school just because of medical stuff.</p>
<p>4.) I get sucked into the partying/drinking scene. Doubt this will likely happen, though.</p>
<p>5.) Friendships/relationships might be a worry, but they couldn’t have gotten much worse than my experiences in high school. Anything is an upgrade here, not to say that I had some good friends in hs, but I could use a change of scenery.</p>
<p>Okay well, I did my senior year of high school at my local community college, so I’m already familiar with the classes and grading stuff. I’m hoping to transfer out in the spring though. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Thinking too much.
I usually do really well in my work when I’m not thinking(to the point were I feel pressure), and just doing the work on the spot. Like if I have a paper due, and instead of writing rough drafts first, I just go to my computer and type what comes to mind. When I think too much, I feel a lot of pressure, so sometimes it doesn’t come out so great. I know it’s weird. </p></li>
<li><p>Using the bathrooms in the residence halls.
I’m not sure how the bathrooms work or look at the colleges I’m looking into because I haven’t visited any of them yet, but I’m a little iffy about showering in the bathrooms, and as mentioned in the other posts, getting sick.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>(Not)Doing Well (3.7+)
(Not)Fitting in; finding great friends.
(Not) finding my passion.</p>
<p>Being happy. simple. I wasn’t happy for four years of high school, let’s see if things get better…if not, I might just call it quits lol</p>
<p>I don’t really have a fear about entering college besides being horrified of knowingly the possibility of rolling off my loft bed. Does this happen?</p>
<p>Honestly, making friends; this is mostly because of my experience at orientation. It seemed like everyone there stuck to their little groups and friends that they came with, and were generally very unfriendly if you tried to say hello/talk to them. I’m attending a large state school, so that may be why. I dunno, we’ll see.</p>
<p>Probably the biggest thing for me is being so far away from home. My family just moved to California, and I’m going to school clear across the country in DC. Its gonna be a hugeeee change…</p>
<p>Not having anything in common with my 5 roomates, or they all click well with each other, and I don’t.</p>
<p>Living in a big city on my own.</p>
<p>I’m pretty shy so I’m worried about that :/</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seconded. But from what I’ve gleaned from my minimal interactions with them, this shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
<p>CasaAtreides, same here. My roomates all seem like really nice girls, but we’ll see what happens. Facebook isn’t the best way to know what a person is really like, lol.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha, I agree. One of them was really nice, but then again, she was wearing some sus-ass makeup and toting a gun in her profile picture, so I suppose I should reserve judgment.</p>
<p>Making friends is my biggest worry about going into college. I live in Miami and I’m going to be going to school in Boston so I won’t know anyone at all. I’m somewhat shy so I’m hoping I’ll be able to meet some really nice people that I can have fun with; REAL friends though.</p>
<p>I’m not too worried about keeping up academically. Even if it gets tough I know I can get through it; my will power is pretty amazing.</p>
<p>I feel like I’m not going to make any friends. Ever. I’m a pretty social person and I have a good group of friends now, but I already feel like I’m running behind the rest of my future classmates. I was out of the country for 2.5 weeks, and while I was gone, it seems like everyone in the 2014 Facebook group already met each other and got to know each other… which is probably a bit of an exaggeration, but a decent percentage already met up. I just have this sinking feelings that the cliques will be formed already by move in day. And it’s probably WAY off base, but it’s my freshman paranoia. </p>
<p>I also feel like I’ll never be able to fulfill my major and figure out exactly what I want to do.</p>
<p>My biggest fear is hating my major/ being bad at it and getting bad grades. A 3.7 is ideal… but i’m probably looking at more of a 3.5/3.6, and i need a 3.7 to apply for honors.
But i’m really just concerned that i’ll hate all my classes and be bad at them.
I know a few people going there and i’m pretty good at making friends, so i’m not tooo worried about that.
Other little worries: My dorm is the farthest from campus, wont be able to get on a bus in the winter, wont find things i like to eat that are healthy, fighting with my roommate, etc</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wow, I oddly never thought of this and I have 3 other roommates. I just figure I can usually get along well enough with most people so I’m not too worried, even though I haven’t talked to them on facebook yet.</p>
<p>I do worry sometimes that everyone there is this rich prep school type and that I’ll just be far outclassed and have to play some catch up academically. But then I realized I’m getting enough help financially so that I should be fine and also I’m really good at catch so even worse case scenario I could BS my way through. Also I imagine if someone was like “well, blahblah I went to Fancy Prep School for Boys…” I could just say “yeah? interesting because I just went to a public school and we’re at the same university”</p>
<ol>
<li>Getting bad grades</li>
<li>Failing Chem and thus ruining any chance of ever going to medical school</li>
<li>Getting too involved in campus life and failing all my classes.</li>
<li>No Degrassi, True Blood, etc</li>
<li>Eating too much food from Nice Slice and Starbucks (I don’t think I’ll gain any weight, since Brown is on a hill)</li>
<li>Forgetting my roots.</li>
<li>Bad dorm room</li>
</ol>
<p>My number one fear by far is going through college and not finding a major that really suits me. Or, on the same note, falling in love with a major that’ll make finding a good job very, very difficult.</p>
<p>Other fears: getting bad grades and giving up on music</p>
<p>Not fitting in :/</p>
