College Ruined My Life
Question about the people in college?
I’m a high school senior who is going to start college next year at GMU in Virginia.
Although it’s a really big school most of the people in my High School are going there (it’s sort of a default school for my area), what are the chances that I’ll have to deal with them all over again in college? Some of them were really awful to me over the past few years and I know a few of them will be living on campus like me. I don’t want them to ruin my college life by starting the same crap they did in high school.
Also, since there are so many people is it difficult to make good friends? I don’t want to be the “loner” in college like in H.S.
And lastly what is it like to live in a dorm with a roommate? Are there any things that I need to worry about or take control over?
I think GMU’s something like 20,000 undergraduates, but only like 5-6,000 live on campus
When I was going away to college, I was sort of worried about the same thing you were, about the people I went to HS with. However, I shortly found out that it doesn’t matter! Really 
By then, people are too busy doing their own thing.. first of all, you are right, since it is a big school, I doubt you will see anyone you know that often. If you do, I doubt they will bother you. If they do, and they are nasty to you, they will definitely be the ones to look like idiots, because everyone else will look at them as the immature child they are. Believe me! Roommate wise, you will love them and hate them. You will go through phases. It is impossible to live with someone and love them all the time. Try to just be as kind as possible and not do anything that you know you wouldn’t like. Try to think about how the other person feels. You obviously don’t have to, but it helps if you want to feel comfortable in your own room. Good luck and most importantly, have fun!!
thank you staten island, for slowing ruining my life.

Jane Austen Ruined My Life $3.67 English professor Emma Grant has always done everything just the way her minister father told her she should — a respectable marriage, a teaching job at a good college, and plans for the requisite two children. Life was prodigiously good, as her favorite author Jane Austen might say, until the day Emma finds her husband in bed with another woman. Suddenly, all her romantic notions a la Austen are… |
