Being Real!

Tiffany Wells · Monday, June 6th 2005 at 1:39AM · 168 views
Iight I'm gonna be real n' face that fact that I'm alil' scared. I'm scared about goin' to college in different state hundreds of miles away from home n' not knowing any1 n' not knowin my roommate. I mean I know its a good way to start off fresh n' get to know new people but not knowing any1 is gonna be hard 4 me. In my town, I'm usually the 1 every1 knows n' now I'm gonna be the 1 noone know! Now the roommate situation is that I don't get along with a lot of girlz n' if I get a mean, dirty, trifflin' roommate......theres gonna be trouble, trouble! What should I do?

All I can think of, is to use hbcuconnect as a way to meet and get to know as many people that are going to GSU, before u get there and hopefully some of your anxiety will go away. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm going to school 5 hours away(i know it's much more for u) and I don't know anyone. Just let God take care of your worries and you will be fine. -=Fresh=-

If you happen to get a trifflin roommate, which is possible at Grambling, don't let it get you down. I've seen too many people get in trouble because they let it bring them down.

Friends...join organizations. And you really don't have to do that. You can make tons of friends by being a sociable person. Don't worry about everyone knowin you; that's not a good thing at Grambling. People try to take advantage of you and stuff.

Hopefully, I've been helpful. If you get a trifilin roommate, talk to Mrs. Hardison, the Housing Director, and she'll help you. I recommend you get to know her your first day there in case you do have probs. She hasn't forgotten me and I interviewed her two semesters ago.

But go to college and have fun. Not too much fun though. Don't want you to flunk out...which is easy to do at Grambling...

Hey girl! Do not worry because everything will be ok once you get to college. Like someone said before, use this website as a way to meet people before you go there. Also, get to know people when you first get there by just being yourself. When you receive your roommate assignment, hopefully they will have your roommate number on there where you can get to know here before you get there. Just pray and everything will turn out great.

think about it like this: ur not the only on @ ur college goin thru that. the people that may intimidate you you, in essence, are doing the exact same thing. if ur feeling home sick, join a home town club with ppl that came from where u did.

I made many of my friends through other friends and involvment in organizations. With the roomate thing, you can only pray things work out with that. If you think about it you are both in the same situation. Freshman year is probably the hardest due to adjusting from home to college life. As long as you don't sit in the room all day you will meet people, cuz people like me always are talking and attempting to meet people.

hey chica don't worry about a thing. You will make new friends and have a blast. For freshman there are so many events that your just bound to talk to someone you know and if you don't meet any one just hit me up here and i'll introduce to some cool people. Are you an ambassador student?

Hey Ms. Tiffany,
I am here to say don't be scared because the best experience of you lifetime is going to be your college experience. What you do with your college years is a one time experience just like your high school years was a one time experience. I am not here to tell you to take it likely because there will be some people who just pist you off but don't let that bring you down. You are not going to get along with everyone you see and there will be some girls to just be hating for no reason because either they are jealous or want to be like you. As far as the roommate situation it will be a sort of a shock to you at first because you dont know how they live and there intentions but my best advice is to set ground rules and talk to get to know each other likes and dislikes because you will be staying with eachother. hey all u know is that your roommate can end up your best friend who knows!!!!! You will meet so many people so enjoy the experience because i have enjoyed mine and now i am a senior and whatever you do think logically but have fun because you dont want to have any regrets later!!!!!!!!
