<p>Orientation was tough for me. My roomie was a social butterfly who brought 3 girls that she BFF’ed the first day back to our room. I’m over here saying “what the heck???” because I didn’t meet anyone that I immediately “clicked” with. I made a few friends (not really) but none I think I’ll probably see again.</p>
<p>The problem was, I stuck with the people from my HS and I didn’t get out of my comfort zone…of course I’m nervous about going to school with 20,000 people, but I’m there so I can get into medical school (which I’m looking more forward too than college…eek!) </p>
<p>It took me a while to find a group of friends in HS because I had friends from different social circles and I never fit into one. Finally, I did, and it was great. Am I scared that’ll happen at UMass? Absolutely, but I’m paying $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4 to get my degree and if that happens, so be it. I know it’ll get better.</p>
<p>I mean, the out of state session was more fun than orientation because I knew none of these people knew each other and didn’t all come from the same Mass HS! </p>
<p>So orientation didn’t go well. Big deal. It will definetly get better in the fall!</p>
