University/college this year

Post Reply New Topic

Just a forum for everyone who is going to uni/college in the coming months, I'm quite nervous and thought it would be good to share thoughts, and how you guys deal with this kind of thing...

I'm curious about what some of everyone's biggest worries, mine are personally friendship, as you can guess I've never been that great a making real connections with people so this is going to be a major worry for me, another one is freshers week, I do enjoy going out but I don't think I can do it every night. I also get homesick.

im worried about pretty much all aspects of "adulting" and i have to do it a little less than a year from now

JOBS = social skills, motivation, interviews, not being a dyed-hair-stretched-ears-weird-music freak

and i really don't wana have to have a roommate in the student housing, but i also dont wana pay twice the rent. which of course leaves having to talk to whatever kind of person is the landlord of tiny $500/month one bedroom apartments in a tiny town next to a naval base. plus i have to give them a letter from my therapist explaining that my cat is an Emotional Support Animal and legally has to be allowed regardless of their pet policy... which makes me look stupider and less functional than i already am.
People are definitely gona expect me to talk to them at school and in the city. (This tiny town is bremerton, a ferry away from seattle). Ugh and colleges have orientations, and tours, and so many way too cheerful student leader people telling about great features. I don't even know how its gona be adjusting to a different welding lab, which is stupid, but this is the third year ive been in the same lab with the same routine. although their layout is more streamlined so maybe ill have less places to lose my pliers... and my gloves... and my hood... and my welds themselves... ahh, organization

responsibility

I am in college. See if the college has a disability services office, they were extremely helpful for me. I get extra time on tests and to take notes with my tablet. You may also want to check out the college and school life forum here at WP.

Too stressful for me, the schedule I have barely allows me to go home where I am most comfortable and it would take at least an hour for me to go back home so even I have a 2 hour break it is pointless to go home since I'll have to immediately go back.

I have an unusual sleep schedule so it is hard for me to find a place to sleep at. Plus since the amount of students in my college is in the thousands there is always people around.

I just finished my first semester and failed 3 out of 6 courses... so I did not do too great

I'm still trying to decide which university to go to. I e-mailed their disability services and now I'm waiting for responses.

I ended up going to community college instead of a four year university, and so far it hasn't been that bad. I'm passing my classes, I just wish there was more guidance for transitioning to college. It took more time to figure out, but it is at least do able.
