Extremely worried and shy college freshman.

<p>Think it’s a ■■■■■.</p>

<p>Again, sorry to waste your time. I moved into my dorm today. While I hear others enjoying orientation, I can’t leave my dorm. My parents simply placed my belongings on the curb and promptly drove away. I couldn’t decide if my mom was crying because she would miss me or as she puts it, am “throwing my life away” pursuing a theater major at a fourth tier university. I assured her that my dreams were worth 40k a year, but my parents refuse to support my “fruitless” efforts. I did not qualify for financial aid.</p>

<p>Daniel reassured me that we all must follow our dreams during my visit. I trusted him, but my trust begins to fade. Why didn’t he personally welcome me?</p>

<p>This thread is getting seriously weird.</p>

<p>Continue.</p>

<p><em>mind freak</em>
10 char</p>

<p>okkkkkk…</p>

<p>Is this thread a joke?</p>

<p>

If you don’t qualify for aid and your parents aren’t supporting you, how are you gonna come up with 40k a year - loans?! Because 160k in loans is NOT worth it, believe me. And if your parents are paying $160k for your college, that sounds pretty supportive to me! Or I guess you could be on scholarship as well.</p>

<p>anyway, stop being so melodramatic, you’re not a character in a play - I understand you’re shy but you’ll regret it later if you don’t have fun in college! So tonight, go out, meet people, i’m sure there’s orientation events going on, or go to a party - hey, maybe Daniel will be there and you two can “catch up” ;)</p>

<p>Either:</p>

<p>1) ■■■■■
-or-
2) Weirdest person ever</p>

<p>hmmmmm…</p>

<p>lol this thread is hilarious. Who is Daniel?!</p>

<p>You appear to be the lovechild of David Blaine and that weird Emo Kid that always sits in the back of the classroom.</p>

<p>OP, is your name Claire?</p>

<p>Claire is a fat girl’s name. </p>

<p>[John Hughes reference]</p>

<p>There are 2 types of fat people in the world. Dyingbutterfly seems like the type that will grow up, squeeze out a few puppies, and BAM blow up.</p>

<p>Being extremely shy + a theatre major seems like an unusual combination. That doesn’t sound right.</p>

<p>^I agree.</p>

<p>I kinda hope you’re not a ■■■■■… This thread is pretty funny either way, though.</p>

<p>daniel already has a girlfriend, back off</p>

<p>I really appreciate those that took time to reassure me. I never get this kind of support. Although I could not leave my room last night, I finally ventured out briefly to a carnival like event in the lawn. I kept to myself, but I keenly observed every name tag of the staff running the event. I did not find him. During my visit, he assured me that through study, anyone could excel at theater. He referenced my supporting role in my school’s spring production. You cannot put a price on your dreams.</p>

<p>Daniel even confronted my mother. He offered the same explanation. Mother insisted I was not fit for this. I am beginning to think that she may be right. How do I reach out to my only hope?</p>

<p>i think you’ll be a fine theatre major …
you ooze drama.
also, stalking is not generally looked upon favorably.
you’re going to scare the hell out of daniel.</p>

<p>…and im not trying to be a smart/ass/hole.
just trying to help.</p>

<p>Why don’t you get into character? The role is to portray an extroverted, bubbly, self confident woman, a newcomer to college? This way you can “act” the way you wish the “real” you could in stressful situations.</p>

<p>I’m just trying to help and not being a Wisenheimer.</p>
