<p>Don’t let your roommate walk all over you, even (and maybe especially) for the first few weeks. Trust me, I regret that i ever did that. </p>
<p>Even if you’re shy or you have high school friends at college with you, PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE. Once again, a regret of mine. I hung out mainly with my one high school friend for the majority of the first semester and had no other close friends until thanksgiving. it’s hard to be social sometimes, but it’s definitely worth it.</p>
