Starting school at a university

[LazyHermitCrab]

After 3 years of community college but hey it's finally it's here I'm just really worried cuz there's a lot of people and it's a commuter school so it's not "comfortable" and the parking is terrifying. The only reason i chose this school was so I could stay at my parents house cuz i just can't have a roomate right now nor would I know someone who could be my roomate. I also still don't know what to major in. I was going to do creative writing but i'm afraid i won't get a job and it's competitive and if i do another major it may be too boring and i'll fail it so it will be absolutely pointless. I guess either way is the wrong way so what's the point of trying to choose a "right" one. I also have avpd still so that will also be "great" to deal with. In my classes i'd get c's in live lectures and an a or b for online cuz my brain just doesn't turn on when faced with people in a real classroom. I'm so screwed lol but happy i can at least say i got into a school. I'm so lost yet moving forward towards something ;p ... anyone know any tips so i can avoid a heart attack when starting classes? >.> Have a good one

I went to a larger commuter school too. Most ppl just wanted to come and go, they didnt care to make friendships. Or maybe they did and i was out of the loop lol
I arrived early..almost first on the first day so I could pick the best seat. I chose a corner back seat so I could view the whole class from the top. Thats the controlling me.
Perfect classroom was the one where you entered from the back so at the end, i would be close to the door and would leave asap.

I chose to seat next to kids who looked lonely too lol but eventually they would move or not speak to me. I didnt seat next to anyone who looked intimidating.

I just went to my classes and left. I didnt go to any school events, games. I rarely went to the library but it was a good place to hide out.

Research your prof, read ratings and see what you'll expecting.

I'll also add that most college classes dont have assigned seats so if you like your seat, you need to arrive early to get it. The classes that do have assigned seats usually say stay in the one you're in on the 1st day so again pick a good seat.

Thanks for sharing your experiance. I'm looking through the school maps and i'm gonna drive there so i can see my class before class so i can go right there and avoid crowded places. I think where you sat sounds good. I normally sit on the side but a couple rows from the back so i can be as random as possible ;p
