Hey there, I was just wondering if there are any university students out there from Melbourne or outside Melbourne. I just want to know how your transition into University was, was it difficult, did you make friends easily? And also other little things, such as do you feel un-easy walking through a crowd of students, do you participate in tutorial discussions. Or, share any other difficult hardships you have encountered at university.
Well, here is my summarized experience.
Well, my transition into university was not so good. My first day at university was kind of miserable. I was walking through a crowd of students, which made me feel very uncomfortable. First class was art, and the teacher told us to pair up with someone, which made my heart beat fast. Mind you, the class was full of attractive people. It was difficult to find a partner, and I eventually was partnered up with a girl who was also looking for partner, but I could tell she was not happy to be partnered up with me. So she ditched me and partnered up with an attractive male, whom already had been partnered, so I was left by myself. Another class, we had to introduce ourselves. As expected, I was shaking and stuttering as I was introducing myself while everyone was staring at me.
This year, I transferred to another university with a more multi-cultural feel. I must say, it’s much better than the one I went to before. Never the less, I am still finding it difficult make friends. Let’s just say, I’ve only made acquaintances, because these acquaintances have too many friends of their own that they rather hang out with. I find it difficult to hold a conversation. There’s this particular language class, where the teacher is very forceful and intimidating. She always picks on me. During one class, she asked us to say a sentence to see if we can pronounce words properly, and when it was my turn, I was nervous, heart beating really fast and when I was speaking, my voice sounded really shaky and nervous. Then the teacher imitated me, copying the way I was talking and then everyone laughed at me. I know she was joking, but it was humiliating, especially when there was 30 plus students looking and laughing at me, my face was burning up from blushing.
Anyway, feel free to share your experience, as I am eagerly wanting to know about other’s people’s experiences at University. Maybe we can all get to know each other better through MSN and help each other. Feel free to PM me.
