college

So I got accepted to a universtiy and will be living in the doorms. I'm pretty pumped becasue I have a cool scheduale, with a intro to sociology, and an Existentialism calss I'm excited about.

Any ways who ells goes? Any thing I should know?

Also meeting people? I'll be away fomr my friends who I've known for a while, so whats a good way to meet people at college? Never been easy for me.

 

You'll be fine. Just remember the profs generally don't care (they get paid whether you do the work or not) so don't slack or put stuff off.

You'll make friends no problem. Like yourself most freshmen are asking themselves the same questions. After a week you will be the groove and soon be looking for party flyers!

Congrats!

 

Thanks man, I'm excited.

 

Sociology... very nice! What do you plan on doing for a career? I thought about becoming a sociologist before I decided to teach.

 

Your seventeen and know what your career is??

 

I mean, I honestly can't think of anything else I'd rather do... I started taking Child Education classes in high school, and I feel I really connect with children. And I love to teach. Being in front of a class is like being on stage, it's very energizing and... just... happy.

 

Ohhh, I see. Thats great that you know what you want to do so early, I have no idea. I love kids, but I don't see myself as a teacher

 

Cool man, I'm goin off to college in a couple weeks too, Right now I'm thinking about majoring in psychology, I'm also taking philosophy and world history. I'm also thinking about teaching, but I'm not sure yet.

 

don't get caught smokin' weed!

 

good way to meet people = join a club. maybe the uni has some sort of extacty club or something you can join

 

^*giggles*

 

i knew i wanted to become a farmer when i was 14, and im 20 now and i still want to be a farmer.... and ill be out on the farm in a year.

some people just feel very confident in their dreams and have specific skills. like artists, most people i know who are professional artists knew from a very early age that they were going to be artists.

 

I'm your average 20 year old and i have an idea of what I want to do, but my idea keeps changing.

Are you going to a large university? No problem meeting kids at a big school. Leave your door open to your dorm and welcome people in.

Congradulations on being accepted, but don't mess this up. Have fun and be smart. I don't mean good grades smart, be wise and don't get into trouble.

 

The club suggestion sounds lame, but is actually a good one. I met a lot of my friends that way. Another good way to meet people is to look for tell-tale signs of pot smoking in other people's rooms-- they're looking for new stoner buddies too, introduce yourself. Even if they aren't that cool, you can probably get high for free more than a few times this way. I met my dealer this way.

 

^^^ some campuses have a NORML.. now thats a club to join

 

Yea, I know what you mean, I just thought that she was saying the she is already studying it in college.
What/Where are you going to be farming?

 

I just wrapped up my orientation at my new college. The first half of this week was a blast, and I'm sure you'll have a hell of a lot of fun, too.

I hadn't thought of looking for a NORML chapter here, but I googled as soon as someone mentioned it and I found one. I'll get in touch with them tomorrow. For now I might "break in" my new room. My roommate's gone for the evening, apparently (going to a party without me? he'll hear about that) and I don't know his position on herb yet, so I'll take the opportunity.

 

organinc farming, on a commune, somewhere in the south.

 

^with internet access?

 

maybe, maybe not.... i dont know where im going yet. my school bus has electrical hook-ups, but i dont know if i could afford satellite internet.
