wow. 10 years ago i was a freshman in college. i made a couple of friends and participated in A LOT of activities. Most people thought i was stuck up because i didn't go out of my way to make friends. I wasn't shy but i just wasn't the type to talk to strangers all the time. I thought it was CRAZY that people said "Hi, how you doing, o.k. catch you later" instead of just the head nod or waving and keeping it moving. Who has time for all that? LOL.
I was blessed to have a nice (but weird) roommate and also a cousin who was a couple of years ahead of me on the yard. My only "first" at college was my 1st time at the club.
Being involved in Band, SGA, academic clubs, and taking a full load helped keep me focused on college WORK instead of getting caught up in social trappings.
All in all it was pretty calm, things didn't start going crazy until my junior year (got a car, took less classes = more time for partying).
Oddly enough, my best friends by senior year and now (as a grown up) are some of the people i COULD NOT STAND as a freshman.
