<p>Is anybody else getting a little intimidated by the fact that you won't know anybody? I'm from NC and don't know anybody haha</p>
<p>lol yea. Im from PA so it is going to be interesting</p>
<p>Not getting intimidated yet… but give it a while 
Looking forward to leaving my small town in FL and broadening my horizons.</p>
<p>Oh you kiddos, its not that bad. Just run around campus screaming I WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU PEOPLE!!! </p>
<p>and everything will be allllright. =D</p>
<p>yea because that wont label us phsyco lol. statscholar, if i ran around like that would you be like yo, i have to be her friend? :D</p>
<p>I’m not really worried because some of my friends are going there with me plus my sister will be a junior at FSU next year…I’m actually excited to meet a lot of new people :D</p>
<p>It helps if you’re living in the dorms. I transferred here this semester as a junior and live off-campus, so unfortunately I don’t know many people. Good luck!</p>
<p>I am coming from a very small town and the only the person coming from my high school is a shy quiet girl that I don’t really know too well. Therefore, I am very nervous at least for the first couple of weeks. We’ll see how it goes though, I’m ready for the challenge.</p>
<p>Ok if my advice from the first post doesn’t work. This is a sure fire way to make new friends:</p>
<p>Dress up as a clown and give everyone balloons with your name on them and a link to your facebook! </p>
<p>Profit? </p>
<p>I think so!</p>
<p>lmao!!! wow! when I see someone doing crazy **** like that on campus then I’ll know it’s one of you two. I hope that a lot of people at FSU have a sense of humor like you satscholar :p</p>
<p>lol so if i see any clowns on the first day i know who it is and i will definitely help that profit =D</p>
<p>Haha you know it foxfire! Or I could walk around with a boombox blasting Tik Tok with a wig on and make up to look like a girl and See how many people ask me for an autograph :O</p>
<p>First day will be interesting for you kiddos, don’t worry, plenty of characters will be seen.</p>
<p>lmao. if they have your personality it deff. will be interesting</p>
<p>If you can get here for Seminole Sensation Week, TOTALLY do it. That week is full of fun events, concerts, free food, and tons of activities that will get you mingling with people. Go to a Market Wednesday and find a table for a club that has things you are interested in. Meet your classmates. If you live on campus, go to the events your RA plans, those are your neighbors. If you live off campus, make an effort to go to their events as well. Check out all the stuff that the union offers (union.fsu.edu) and find people who are interested in the same concerts, art activities, or lecture series as you. There are over 40,000 students on campus–you will make friends :)</p>
<p>when is Seminole Sensation week?</p>
<p>The exact dates and events for this year are not set yet, but they will be in the first week before school (August 18-22) and will be awesome. There is info on last year’s events on this website:</p>

<p>I have to say, I’m somewhat mystified that people are concerned about not knowing anyone. To me that’s one of the great things about going to college–the opportunity to meet new people and expand one’s horizons. I find it surprising that people want to choose to live with a friend from high school. That can be as bad as going random. I know people that were friends before sharing a room but actually living together they were not compatible and the friendship didn’t survive. I met some of my best friends for life at college–people from different places that I got to know freshman year. </p>
<p>My son is actually looking forward to leaving his high school behind. He was in a magnet and the senior class was only 77 students. Because it’s a math and science magnet, a lot go on to UCF. He didn’t want that. He’s looking forward to getting to know people from all over the state.</p>
<p>I know the feeling, wtztu. I’m one of 11 graduating seniors this year. In the last 3 years, we’ve had as few as 1 and as many as 8. I’m definitely looking forward to leaving behind high school, especially one this small. It seems like 3/4 seniors end up going to FGCU. That’s where my brother goes, and that’s where most of our seniors are going. I’d rather start completely fresh without knowing hardly anybody than keep hanging out with the same people.</p>
<p>its not that i dont want to meet new people, its just that its going to be interesting to find someone to room with at orientation when you dont know someone. its more of a nerves thing. I also didnt come from a small school. =]</p>
<p>I can understand being nervous, but remember everyone will be just like you…an entering freshman–everyone will be nervous-- you already have something in common!</p>
