good luck! i'm sure you would make some, if not close friends, at least good acquaintances, next year. yeah, being a freshman's kind of sucks too; you meet a whole new set of complete strangers, and you have to at least socialize, make acquaintances to make things easier the next time you would be needing their help. yeah, that's kind of using people, but it's how the system works. i too had a hard time socializing with strangers, considering that my social skills are very, erm, low, and it took me a very long time before i could talk to them without stammering or feeling awkward. in the end though, i found that they were really outgoing people and even found close friends in them. sigh, too bad though that i have to leave them and meet a new set of complete strangers again next year

Yea, that's the bad part. Having to start the whole process of starting over again. But yea, I'll try. In a way it's good thing to start over since you can meet entirely new people. Don't have to worry about people bringing up stupid things that I did in the past.

My roommate and I last semester got along great in the beginning. And then we started fighting.. she wanted me to move out so she could have another girl with the same major as her move in saying how much easier it would be. But I learned that was a lie.

So we let it lay low for a few weeks and then she tried again, and again I said no. So she got pretty pissed off and then started threatening me, and we got residence services envolved. It wasn't pretty at all, and definitely ruined my first semester. But in the end she moved out and one of my best friends from school moved in with me.

Shes a twilight lover too, and life is great this semester!

haha, that's crazy gahhh, what is it about roommates??

I dunno, but one thing, I'm never moving in with someone I don't know after that.

Well....an embarrasing moment...

I was sitting in the front row in my math class like freshmen year...and i dropped my pencil on the floor. I was sitting in one of those desks where the desk part is connected to the chair. So I reached down on the right side (where it was harder to get because the desk part was there) to pick up my pencil and my desk fell over and I of course went with it.....Everybody laughed...i felt like an idiot....and I got a little stuck too!


It sucked so bad....stupid college.

Awwe it's okay. Everyone can have embarrassing moments. I hate walking in late, I find that embarrassing.

My worst college experience so far (I'm only a freshman) was my roommate last semester. We e-mailed each other every day over the summer and got along and for a first few weeks. Then she started to be all mean and yell at me, not to mention watch our tv all day when I had stuff I wanted to watch. She would keep the windows open when it was like 0 degrees outside.. But that's not even the worst part, she sent my friend a facebook message asking me to move in with my firend without even talking to me... She sent me the facebook message a few days later telline me to move in with my friend because one of her friends from another dorm wanted to take my spot in the room. I did end up moving out, but I wasn't happy about the whole situation. Sorry about the long rant lol

Jeez...It sounds like you guys have had some terrible roommates. I had one for about two months last semester and it was like living with a rock. Or Grawp. She said "Duuuh, okay" all the time when she was talking on the phone. But thankfully my friend's roommate moved out so I could move in with her.

My only bad college experience (beside my English teacher, aka: the devil) was when I came for Freshman O. I was trying to choose classes for the fall and no one would help me. My advisor handed me a piece of paper because he was too busy helping everyone else. The person who made up my schedule put me in a gym class and some other I-would-be-caught-dead-in-that-class class. And then I had to go find my college to have them check my stuff (at the time I was going to double major) and they made everything so difficult. Oh! it was terrible. I almost cried.

I am the same way...sometimes i'll be soo late that by the time I get to class...I wont even walk in...cause i'm so embarrased...it's so dumb

Well, here I go into the worst experience of my life...and I will try to make this short because no one is going to want to read this long ordeal, lol.

My first year of college, last year, was memorable for all of the wrong reasons. Now, I went to a very good college that was very competitive academically. However, I had always worked my butt off in school and figured that I could handle the academic stress. I was also under the impression that I was being recruited by the coaches there to play basketball, which was a big reason why I went there. I had an awesome roomie and it seemed like everything was going to be spectacular. Boy, was I wrong.

The coaches, who had asked me to attend recruiting days and such previously, made it very clear that they wanted nothing to do with me on the team. The girls on the team were also some of the most vile and mean girls I have ever met. I was constantly yelled at by them over even some of the most trivial matters during preseason, which would vary from starting at 6 in the morning to 9 in the evening. It was the first time I ever hated to play basketball, which I loved.

I was also constantly ravaged for not being a big partier. Due to the fact that I feel I don't need alcohol to have a good time, I was made an outsider on the team. Eventually, I only played on a JV team, in which we only played 5 games...and it ate up one of my years of eligibility in the NCAA...so not worth it.

I also had about 2 friends while I was there. No one wanted the non-partier around so I was further alienated. Some people went out of their way to make fun of me about it.

As a result of going from a 3 sport athlete to doing absolutely nothing, I put all of my effort into my schoolwork. However, you wouldn't know it because no matter how much effort I put into everything (as a Bio major, life was not easy), I always seemed to be doing poorly.

Meanwhile, during this whole experience, I had major braces going on, making it hard for me to talk without sounding like an idiot...which made me even more of a loner. On average, I got about 4 hours of sleep a night, some nights not being able to fall asleep from the stress.

I also had a suitemate who decided borrowing all of my stuff was the lastest trend. She would walk into my room (connected by a bathroom with no lock) at any given time with no warning. Thankfully, she transferred, but that was not fun the first 5 months.

Thankfully, I'm no longer at that hell hole. I'm at a community college now and I'm so happy I left. I also was a starter for their bball and softball teams at the college. So I am MUCH happier than I was a year ago.

This is WAY too long and I apologize!

'Nuff said.

She's a sweet girl and all, but we had absolutely nothing to talk about . Even though we had the same major.

I know what you mean but my roommate just sucks. I dont appreciate her blow drying her hair at 2 in the morning or cleaning at 4 in the morning when we have pretty much the same schedule. Sometimes I just want to ugh. I wish I was able to pick my roommate and didnt get stuck with a random.

We had to fill out a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator so we could be matched with roommates. So supposedly I was supposed to be paired with my best psychological match. I wasn't crazy about the idea of a roommate to begin with -- I had wanted to live off campus -- but since it's required our first year here I thought I'd try to make the best of it. We move in and, well, things went downhill from there. Drastically. I don't know what happened to that stupid psychological evaluation but we are NOTHING alike. She's bipolar which isn't bad unless you forget your medicine (which she does and I'm not her mom so it's not my responsibility to remind her) and I think she's autistic (and I'm really not saying that to be mean because she really is a very nice person, but I honestly think that's an underlying issue). She's just very very socially withdrawn and I'm not withdrawn at all. And I do enjoy going out on the weekends and such (but I'm not a raving partying alcoholic lunatic) but she goes to class and stays in her room all day except for meals and to use the bathroom. I just couldn't handle her as a roommate. We're polar opposites.

Thank God next year I get my own place. Sorry for the rant

ehh roommates.

im the kind of girl who likes her boundaries(i guess it comes from having 3 sisters who want to borrow your stuff)...and my old roommate had none. plus....she wouldnt shower for like 3 days...and try to cover it up by spraying too much paris hilton all over herself, which really only did more harm and made our room smell sickly strong.
she'd also fart in her sleep and moan, or come in and out of our room at all hours of the night slamming the door.
and one night......i woke up to her moaning...and i think you can get the hint of what she was doing.

anyways. she moved out to live with another girl down the hall this semester.
and i am much happier...though living by yourself does get kind of lonely
