Well my first day of college is in the books. And what an interesting day it was.
My day couldn't have started off any more inspiring, I went to church at my new home and had a SUPERB service! The worship was on par as the best I had ever been apart of, and I am going to have that privledge week after week after week. So that is certainly a huge plus. The college group leaders came over and talked to me and they seemed really nice and sincere, so I'm gonna love it I think.
Then afterward we began the move-in process... which lasted from about 1:00 to almost 5:00. Blah. My roommate had the poorest of first impressions that I've ever had with anybody... greatttt. He comandeered the desk and bed that were right by the window and pouted when my dad and I suggested that some changes needed to be made. Talk about immature.
After saying goodbyes, it truly hit me that I'm on my own and its up to me to make things roll my direction. Boy oh boy I have no idea how hard this is gonna be. I'm going to need to relay on God more now then ever before. I'm here to learn and get my degree, not to make shallow friends. Shallow friends being those who will only hang with me if I share a shot with them. So, it going to be very rough taking the high road and at this point I hope I can last.
Oh, and my first priceless "freshman" moment happened today... I left my room to brush my teeth and discovered I left without my friggin keys. So I had the embarassment of walking down to the lobby to retrieve a spare set. I only get three of these per quarter, and I've wasted my first on my first night.
Well I'm going to go to bed, I'm lonely in my dorm room, my roommate is off somewhere and I'm sure he's charming the room wherever he is.
Good night from the rockin confines of San Nic Res hall.

Jade,
My first room mate didn't work out well at all at Davis. He literally had the whole bench marks on the bed post thing for the number of girls he slept with. Two people could not have been farther apart in values than he and I.
As a result, I did what you said too and bunkered down to do my studies. But while I agree that grades and an education are good, don't underestimate college as a time to build some sweet friendships. All of my longtime friends have come not from high school, but instead from college.
So, here's my 2 cents. Bunker down and study when you need to study. But be sure you allow yourself some time to meet some new people and enjoy the full picture of your college years. If you graduate with a degree and nothing else, you'll have missed at least 50 percent of what college is all about. Enjoy my friend. Enjoy.
this time will be in the review mirror before you know it.
