Good bye!

On the first weekend I went out with my new friends, walking around campus. It was exciting , thinking how I was at college, meeting people who could become good friends of mine. The most exciting thing was that I didn’t have to explain to my parents where I was going , who with, or what time I’d be home.

On Saturday night, I followed my room mate to a party. The people at the party were busy playing some game, and no one seemed to notice my existence. I suddenly felt so lonely. Fighting back tears , I ran back to my room, thinking I would never feel at home at college.

Ellen
My room mate left the window open all the time, even when it was 10 degrees Celsius out, and went to bed at 10 every night. When she got sick after midterms, she blamed my typing and having a light on while she was trying to sleep.

At first, college was a little daunting. I graduated from a small
school. After seeing the same people over and over for many years, it was amazing, but a little scary, to be in place where it seemed like I never saw the same person twice.
Brenden
The first year at college was probably the best and most challenging year of my life. Academically, I enjoyed it thoroughly . Taking part in the advanced Engineering project gave me a chance to use my creativity and knowledge to help society.
Socially, I made lots of new friends both through engineering and living at St John’s College on campus. The social calendar of the colleges provides plenty of opportunities to meet non- engineering students as well as other engineers, many of whom have become my best mates.
