As stated above, I never really knew how scared I would be for college until a few days ago. I’m not even going to a 4 year university. I was originally going to go to Humboldt State University, but I was not given as much financial aid as anticipated, so I had to pull my acceptance. In honesty, I wasn’t too devastated because it was more of my moms choice of a school than my own. Now i’ll be attending a community college in Eugene Oregon (i’m coming from southern California). I’m in a wonderful student housing complex downtown, classes at my college aren’t impacted, everything about the area is great and I have no complaints, but i’m scared that it will be difficult to make friends; that they will not associate themselves with me if they know I am going to a community college. I’m afraid that if I attend U of Oregon parties, I will be isolated and unwelcome there. I know this is all so typical of incoming students, but i’m an outgoing gal, I love social gathering such as parties, I love clubs, I love being involved, and I love people, but I feel as if that will all be ripped away. Who knew growing up could be so hard.
It might be a little awkward cause you probably won’t know anyone at a different schools party but it seems like you’re a girl so they probably won’t be turning you away at parties
Give it time, you will find your groove. Be the outgoing person you say you are, explore your area, school clubs and activities and a social life will evolve.
I’m a sophomore and I still haven’t adjusted to college. Well I’m lying actually. I have adjusted but I still dislike but i get on with it anyways.
