I went to my orientation yesterday and I have to say that it was one of the best times that i've had in a while. I had to wake up at 7 AM to get to the college at 8:30 AM. The orientation lasted 9 hours though. Breakfast I had a big, big glass of milk and some turkey breast. Then I got there at exactly at 8:30.

I got my ID picture taken, went through some of the usuals of orientation, a video presentation getting to know some of the people.

Girls girls girls. Some pretty girls there, one girl in particular caught my eye but I was literally sleeping awake and I had hardly anything to say to her. I'm gonna find her though. If someone has a stalking method, share it.

I didn't feel nervous or anything about going into college, I was actually dissapointed because I was expecting to be nervous.

My school has a gym, i'm gonna be in there august 27th at the very least. And besides that, it looks like a fun place. I'm going for a BBA probably I want to major in marketing or managment.

All I can say is keep an open mind. Take your gen ed requirements seriously. You will probably switch your major at least 2 times. Good luck and have fun!!

Check if UPS has any openings in your area. They have some of the best benefits in corporate America. They offer FULL benefits to part-time employees. It works perfect because the morning loading shift is 4am-8:30am. Just schedule your classes after that. This way you will have your college paid for and have health insurance.

When i went to school this year i kinda just went away......

what i mean by that is i didn't reallyo think about it, i just went ot college. i hadn't given thought to the idea that no one there knows you at all. the stupid jokes and personality traits that people pick up on back home don't fly becuase people don't know you. for me, it was hell becuase i have a sarcastic, funny sense of humor and people thought i was nuts.

the first day there i put a poster of ronnie on my door, and i would later find that the floor thought i was some weirdo cause of it.

college is awesome, but my only advice is be ready--- branch out big time, i wasn't antisocial, but i didn't branch out either. it took to long for me to realize that i truly was not back in highschool with my same old buds.

Thanks for the responses. Thanks for the links Freak.

I'm really expecting college to be easy. Easier than what other people have told me about. I'm pretty set on marketing or business management. I'll probably go into managment because marketing wasn't really interesting for me.

I have financial aid coming to me so far. So i'm looking at a good chunk of cash and extra cash coming to me. I really think I can do well in all of the classes that I have so far.

sounds good man, where do you go to school...just keep in mind these college years are going to be the best years of your life, live it up and have the time of your life. go into it with an open mind and dont let assbags bring u down. you're going to find alot of different types of people there and its going to be tough to find true people. im goin into my senior year and did my share of partying, its tough to split your partying to lifting...but i honestly dont regret a thing. neither should you when you wake up every morning, even if it is with a big bitch laying next to you....hahaha watch out bud, they look better the more you throw back....in the great words of Family Guy's peter griffin, "i only drank so the statue of liberty would take her clothes off..."

[Thomas_Rivera]

Lol. Well a little update here, I got my financial aid stuff done for the most part, I just need to get some cd to study for a test I have to apply for soon, i've been putting it off but I want to get it done this week.

I don't think i'll do that much drinking through college at all. I'll let the girls drink and i'll stay sober :)
