<p>So here's the thing. I'm an approachable and pleasant person, and I like meeting new people. But I can't stand orientation week, and so I'm going to skip it.</p>
<p>The reason is that everybody is so fake and boisterous, as if they were trying to put up fake fronts just so they don't get judged. But I don't blame them -- I would probably do the same when forced in the same situation.</p>
<p>And the clubbing. Ugh. Can a freshman ever appreciate a female's beauty without yelling to his friends about how hot she is? Does doing so make him the "alpha male"?</p>
<p>I'll give it a month for people to settle back into their own comfort zones and stop acting like somebody they're not. Then maybe they'll open their hearts to genuine relationships.</p>
