Pretty much.

Let's get off that topic NOW, though, and focus on the Original Post.

Thanks.

Re: Nervous about college... don't make fun of me lol

I agree completely with the b_geno and Longhorn posts.

The only thing I can add on to what they said is that once you figure out what you want to do or major in, get involved quickly. Get a job in the related field, volunteer, secure internships, really anything. It'll go a long way in finding a better job once you graduate college.

That's my one regret.

Also, being with a bitch for a girlfriend my first year and half of college.

Financially speaking it may make the most sense to go to a Community College the first 2 years and then transfer to a 4 year school to finish your degree due to the ridiculous cost of college right now.

Oh, the similarities you and I share, down to the exact time we spent with our bitch girlfriends... lol

Re: Nervous about college... don't make fun of me lol

Bumping this old topic, but I just wanted to let you guys know that this weekend was my orientation and at first it was kind of awkward but it's easy to make friends or groups of friends. It was a little more than a day but I already had groups of people I could just go up to and have a good time with or strike a conversation up with.

We stayed up until 1AM at a dance party (no alcohol). Definitely a lot of ladies. I think the guys are heavily outnumbered in my school, and most of the chicks in the college I'm going to ranges from decent to hot. A lot of cuties as well (mostly what I go for).

I was the only guy in their nursing meeting, and there were a ton of girls. Good thing probably, but that just makes me nervous not to make me look like a fool out there in front of all the girls. haha

So you've decided on nursing? Great career choice. Stick with it. My sister and her boyfriend are nurses and both enjoy it very much.

As for the ladies: just be yourself, man. You're already on the good end of averages.

Score! Good luck to you out there. I can't wait to get to a university. Currently at a community college for the next couple years for the exact reason that MassNole stated earlier. Planning on transferring to Arizona State for Journalism. Good luck at your college though. I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine.

Nursing is a great career. They make bank too! My cousin is a RN and he makes about 90K a year. Good luck with the program.

I'm so nervous going to college next year. I still haven't even made my mind up but I pretty much don't know anyone in the college I'm going to, and I haven't ever been too far from home so sleeping with another person (no homo) in the room will be awkward. Anyone got any tips or advice for anyone first going to college next year? I haven't even finished my senior year yet and look how nervous I am already lol.

And it's not that I don't like to have a good time. I love to party and all that but I just don't know about this whole college thing... every time I think about it I worry a lot. Haha... just something to post here since I haven't posted in a while either.

Join the Marine Corps...there's no time to worry.

I don't go to school (Yet) but my sister tried to be a nurse...It's very hard. It's a pretty good feat to accomplish. Hope it goes well.

mattlanta:
It's not hard at all, it's just not a blow off like something in liberal arts, the college of business, or a social science. It takes time and dedication, and anyone of average intelligence can go through a nursing program if they are willing to devote the time it takes to learn what you're suppose to learn.

There are plenty of people who declare nursing as their major that never make it because they treat it like it's english/history/psych 101 and it's not.

Don't confuse hard with time consuming, there's a huge difference.

What up matt. I haven't read through the entire thread so I'm surr this has probably been said already but ill say it again. As far as the work, you should be fine as long as you manage your time. Don't wait until the last minute to do s*** and don't let the slackers (and you will encounter so many of them) talk you out of getting your work done. The key to college is time management.

And socially, you'll be just fine. I remember my first day at NSU. I was a commuter and I was nervous as hell driving to school thinking about how it was going to be. After that first day though, everything was cool. I miss school. Can't wait to go back and get my masters in August

And I just read jdurg's comment. He hit everything right on the head. Print that out and follow his recommendations, lol.

Re: Nervous about college... don't make fun of me lol

All I know is, my college experience was killed because I lived 10 minutes away from campus, and I transferred from community college anyway.

Nervous about college... don't make fun of me lol
