<p>Okay. I’m that typical booksmart kid who doesn’t party (strict parents) and I’m really worried about adjusting to college. I’m afraid I won’t get invited to parties and will get left out of stuff. I guess what I’m wondering is, is Penn any different from high school? Does anyone else have this parent problem?</p>
<p>you'll be fine</p>
<p>plus, there are alot of gorges in ithaca</p>
<p>Beer Goggles and gorge floppers? Nice thought. What do you think happens to all the geeks that show up at Penn?</p>
<p>what do you mean?</p>
<p>Penn is a unique environment. Everyone who gets in must be of above average intelligence (even recruited athletes), yet it it still known as the party ivy. People at Penn have found a good balance between fun and work, but a lot them are (or were) "geeks" themselves. </p>
<p>I don't even know what I'm rambling about.</p>
<p>BUT, I used to be a complete streotypical nerd. I was 300 pounds and my only friend was friend food and star trek. </p>
<p>I'm a MUCH different now. I made an effort over several years to change certain parts of myself. Not who I was a person, but some of the externalities. </p>
<p>So I guess what I'm saying is I think you'll be fine, but perhaps if you made a few efforts to change some of your more stereotypical qualities, you might be able to meet other people halfway from a social standpoint.</p>
<p>I'm really tired, so that may not have made any sense.</p>
<p>Gene Rodenberry is my homeboy</p>
<p>mengcheng, when u say ithaca, are u referring to Cornell? lol</p>
<p>just witticizing at audacity of Venice's ambiguous Ivy league loyalties.</p>
<p>then again, this nation seems to have a hard on for the audacity of hope</p>
<p>just look at our current president</p>
<p>he's no governator</p>
<p>and does he own a vibrator?</p>
<p>Food and star trek were my only friends. And then star trek stopped hanging out with me.</p>
<p>Don't worry you can always join Lambda Chi alpha if things don't work out for you</p>
<p>I think you would fit in well at Cornell. You'd definitely getting an Engineering posse</p>
<p>If by engineering posse you mean a dejected circle jerk, enjoy Cornell.</p>
<p>hey... I know an engineer who's going to cornell...
he's pretty cute/hott...
but I've always had the problem of finding gay guys attractive... so now I'm a bit wary</p>
<p>jco's your man on this subject</p>
<p>HA jonnie's not gaaaay. He's jewish. Don't confuse the two.</p>
<p>but takemetocali, I know what you mean! The gay ones are always hot. I'm going to prom with my gay best friend. It'll be a blast because he's such an amazing dancer, as they usually are.</p>
<p>haha not to mention the undeniable style they have over straight guys... ;)</p>
<p>gay dancing, def ask jco</p>
