<p>I’m happy here. </p>
<p>But I’m frustrated, angry, and a little sad at the moment because I can’t submit my finished chemistry homework that’s due in 9 hours online to a stupid external site that I had to shell out $50 and it doesn’t even work properly. Grrrrrrrr I just want to get it in and go to bed :(.</p>
<p>My roommate and I had a blowout fight this afternoon, but I had a girl I met at orientation over tonight and I think I finally made a new friend here. 
And I’ve met some people in my classes too, so I think it’ll be great in a few weeks when I get more comfortable.</p>
<p>I got so lost today though trying to find a building that I KNEW was right in front of me that I nearly went home and dropped the class. It took me an hour to find a building that was literally like 30 feet away from my last class. Sometimes I think I am too dumb to be at this school. XD</p>
<p>I don’t think I can really be much happier than I am now…I love how Pomona provides you with an instant network of friends by putting people into sponsor groups of 12-18 (based on relatively similar interests) that live together. Although I was displeased at having to write an essay for my housing form, I think that the time and energy the housing staff puts into reading the essays and setting up roommates and groups makes it totally worth it. </p>
<p>A few of my favorite moments so far are: moving into a huge dorm room twice the size of my old bedroom (my neighbors have a freaking balcony), awkward social icebreakers, my backpacking orientation trip (bonding over a broken stove), Chinese class every day with one of my new good friends and a hilarious professor, random froyo trips into town/spontaneous ballroom dancing or homework commiseration in the halls/board games/eating meals and midnight snacks with my sponsor group, and the constant feeling of freedom and control.</p>
<p>It’s not perfect though…I’m definitely not getting enough sleep and I think I’m going to have to draw the line and stop going to bed past 2:00 AM every night =P</p>
<p>^^^happy to hear it! cept not the sleeping past 2 thing haha.
Is that common? For college students to stay up that late?</p>
<p>I’m happy! I’m a second year engineering major and I’m a little nervous but excited for classes to start. I’m pumped for the year to begin, to get more involved on campus and do more extracurriculars, get through my classes and gauge whether or not I am really going to do engineering in the future. I’ve made a lot of friends on campus and they’re all amazing people. I love the atmosphere and the fact that people are just so friendly and outgoing. Even though there are a lot of threads here that talk about how people are miserable and stuff, there are people out there that are happy with their college experience. If you’re not happy about your situation, then go do something! Get involved, put yourself out there because it’s not all going to come to you!</p>
<p>I like your username lol</p>
