<p>It's being away from a significant other for me. My guy and I have been together most of the time so it's hard to have distance between us.</p>
<p>Just study and you will get what you want after you graduate.</p>
<p>Adjusting to your environment is the most difficult thing you will do, because if you are not comfortable with your environment you can not do anything with at ease.</p>
<p>I'm finishing up my first semester and the hardest part was making friends all over again.</p>
<p>I've been with my old crew for 4+ years, but I knew no one here, so I tried to join as many clubs as possible, but I still feel like I don't have that buddy-buddy relationship with people. Yes, I've made "friends," but I feel like they're more "acquaintances" than anything.</p>
<p>^^^ Yeah, I think making close friends can be difficult. It took me until midway through second semester of freshman year to really make good friends. I had friends first semester, sure, but no one who I really connected with. That changes eventually, though, just takes some time. </p>
<p>Being healthy is a good one. It's easy to get caught up in the staying up, going out, drinking too much, eating too much, not being active, and letting stress get to you. It's hard to find a good balance.</p>
<p>The hardest thing for me was managing time. Personally, I had to work enough hours to pay the bills and have spending money, but I couldn't work too much because of homework obligations. Then, on top of all of that, was trying to maintain an active social life-which at times took priority over everything else.</p>
<p>HIIIIIII..

<p>i just hope that college will be better than high school...</p>
<p>definitely the social changes, especially since I'll be taking solely college courses for my last two years of highschool anyways.</p>
<p>I put "Being away from my home/family"... I'm quite alright with being thrown into new, scary social situations since I've moved a lot. Being new is old to me. I think that's one of the few good things I can say about moving frequently.</p>
<p>I think I can adapt alright, since I ended up going to a really freaky high school with hardcore gangs and drugs and stuff (considering I was completely ignorant about all this when I went in).</p>
<p>money yup no doubt</p>
<p>I would like living with a roommate...</p>
<p>Well I haven't had to live with someone else before other than my relatives so it will definitely be an adjustment.</p>
<p>I am actually looking for a room, or roommate interested :)</p>
<p>PS.
I am new here =)</p>

<p>roommates can be really great or really awful. kind of luck of the draw. just be flexible and dont take things too seriously and you should be fine. also speak up if you don't like something your roommate does or doesn't do- right away. when you let stuff build up, if always ends up exploding.</p>
<p>one thing i wanna do in college is finally get over my shyness of girls.</p>
<p>I think my biggest challenge is going to be adjusting to the new social and physical environment. I'm from MD and I'll be going to school in Jersey this Fall. I don't know anyone there and I don't know much about the area so it'll take some time to adjust to the people/environment. Hopefully I'll get used to it pretty quick. After that I guess balancing my school work wit my social life. I've been sheltered a lot through highschool so I'll probably be a little wild. The last thing I'm worried about is money. It's gonna be hard not being able to ask my mom for money whenever I need it. The other things don't worry me to much. I just hope I get a good roommate.</p>
<p>Money, for sure. Being broke all the time stinks. </p>
<p>I'm fairly adaptable...I love my family, but I am not very sentimental. I've lived in the same city all my life; I can't wait to leave. I can make friends fairly easily, and I'm not really worried about having a bad roomie. Academics-I hope I get over the remnants of senioritis, and then I'll be fine. These will just take slight adjustments in lifestyle. </p>
<p>Money, on the other hand...I will go from being able to spend lots of money on snacks and clothes, having a car and driving wherever I want etc. to spending essentially nothing and riding the lowly bus in order to avoid loans. Scrounging for free events on campus. Walking everywhere. Borrowing my friends stuff instead of buying new stuff. Having to look for scholarships again. Agh</p>
<p>Academics is the most shocking. The proof of this fact is the amount of freshmen who lose their scholarships, get academically suspended or plan old have to go back home to community college when the parents freak on their grades. Also the rise of the 5 Year Plan would account for this as well.</p>
<p>im split between the academics and the social world but i say academics by a little bit because im kinda nervous to see how my classes will be like and how they compare to how they were in high school</p>
<p>I expect financial requisites to be my toughest challenge. Neither of the rest involve luck on my part, and can be absolved by determination.</p>
<p>It was a tough choice, but I picked being away from my boyfriend. I won't be going far, just a couple hours, but I don't drive so I have no idea how often I'll be back home to visit. I wouldn't even be going that far but they have a minor that is exactly perfect for me and their program for my major is WAY better than the one at the college near where I live. Luckily, I'm not transferring for a couple years (have to get my DTA at the CC I'm going to first), so I'll worry about it when it comes up.</p>
<p>Though the idea that I may end up with a roommate despite all the efforts I plan on exerting is pretty terrifying. I don't do roommates. I need my own space, and I would probably drive a potential roommate all the way to an asylum anyway.</p>
