I moved in today. You get blurry cell phone pictures, and to make this a little fun, you can GUESS WHAT EVERYTHING IS! [?=In dorm #1]my computer, my desk, and my bed with a fan on top of it[/?] [?=in dorm #2]just above, showing off my BSG propaganda posters, my fan, and my bed[/?] [?=in dorm #3]my 360, tv, and hang-up clothes[/?]
Your best shot is to join a band and use that to pick up girls. The BSG stuff is going to set you back though. The name is just too nerdy for most girls to consider giving a fair chance.
Foil, your next assignment is to get a photo of your dorm room with you and a couple girls in it. Call that thread "My Dorm Bitches"
Not bad. I remember some wild parties in my dorm room. We once had something like 20 people in there drinking... I have no recollection of how we swung that past our RA! I can't count the number of times I'd come back to my dorm room and find completely random people there I'd never met before. Once I walked in and a saw a bunch of folk high as hell and lounging around. I pull my blitzed roommate to the side and ask him who his friends are... and of course he has no idea! Once, a fight even broke out between one of my roommates and some fratboys he pissed off. Ah, good times...
^ Yikes! That would be one of my worst nightmares . . . loads of possibly drunken strangers in my space, maybe messing with my things . . . gets my hackles up just thinking about it! I'm so glad I managed to get a room to myself all four years of college. I'm too territorial and could've never put up with a roommate, much less one that was inviting all kinds of people into my space.
Why would I need to learn to deal with that mess? I live by myself now and that's probably not going to change for a very long time, if ever.
People come to college and make connections. They network. If you were in the dorms, there is no doubt that lots of other students are there. You sure were lucky to have a single as a freshman. That's kinda rare on many campuses. Loads of single, sheltered kids go off to college and learn how to mingle. Check out other people's lifestyles. You might have had great room mates. Who says they all go buck wild? That was a time where you can make some strong bonds with people.
You don't have to live with people to network with them. I'm a loner. I don't make strong bonds with people. And what good would it really do me in college? After school I got a great job a thousand miles away; I know folks who've become so attached to friends that they blew great career opportunities because they didn't want to leave college buddies (who would happen to abandon them for fiances a few years later - young folks can be fickle like that).
That don't count. I just wonder if you would be able to live with folks other than mom dad and sisters. College life was gonna get you ready for that if you found yourself in that situation. Most people have had a room mate at least once in their life. It just seems odd to me that you chose to live alone all through college and after.
There's a few people at my college that are doing that. As long as you live in the dorms, you meet people. Also, many roommates just ignore each other as much as possible. Only about 3/4 the people living in the honors dorm here are friends with their roommates, and that's with roommate matching - the other 1/4 ignore each other. In the other halls, at least half the people ignore their roommates 'cause they just don't get along.
Surprise, surprise, there happen to be people a thousand miles away, too! Besides, there's a difference between a career and just working. I think I'm fortunate to have found a good career this early on. I remember those dorm matching quizzes they gave out before we were assigned rooms. I made corrections to it to say "prefer DEAD quiet" rather than "prefer relative quiet". Maybe that's how I got my own room.
