    Well maybe this isn't the place for this but was anyone else terrified before their first day of college? I'm probably blowing this completely out of proportion but the thought of it really scares me as opposed to being excited about it.

    What if the other kids don't like me? What if they're mean to me? What if they call me names and beat me up for my lunch money? :p

    Well not really but you get my drift, its scary. :(

    Just carry one of those banned swords. You soon be loved then by a good team of folk (but don't act surprised if they bring their own weapons).
    Problem solved! :D

    Don't worry, MmmmmCheese, you'll love it. It'll change your life.

    I see what you mean.....Nothing screams 'be my friend' like a large illegal sword! :D

    Get a leather trench-coat, black jeans, some doc boots and a Marilyn Manson t-shirt. Sign up for the rifle/shooting society while wearing all of the above items and make sure plenty of people see you doing it. Pretty much a guarantee noone will mess with you after that.

    Enjoy it.

    You'll be fine, just remember that everyone else is in the exact same boat scared sh1tless as well so there is noting to worry about so be happy. See it as one of the greatest opportunities you can have in life. Make an effort to talk to as many people the first day as possible and it will all be easier after that. The vast majority of people are good, nice people.

    Wooo UL! I love all of your suggestions. People will think I'm a nutjob but hey, it'll get me noticed! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 649 ✭✭✭Jeebus


    Starting in 2 weeks. Not really sunk in yet.

    Freshers week in stables is great though. I mean, the acts...they suck...the drinking is great though. A tenner for a pitcher of Coors light...score !

    Unless you say or do something wrong...there's a lot riding on this kiddo, one false move and you'll be an outcast...for the rest of your life.

    Just make sure you throw/organise a party/night out for you and your classmates in the first few weeks.

    Everyone loves a booze hound.:pac:

    I'm nervous too! Registration next week, so will hopeully meet people there! I'm excited or my course, can't wait to get into the lectures etc, hopeully I'll have a nice class lol. I'd love to get involved with the Student Union etc...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Seriously thou, don't stress it.
    Go in there and experience life while the doors of opportunity are still open.
    Study like hell, shag like hell and have a blast.
    Don't stress about life, live it instead! Good luck and best wishes. :)

    Tell the rents to go away for the weekend, that your future and their private retirement home fund is riding on this. Then throw a party.

    Other than that just invite everyone in your class out for drinks so you can get to know each other, get drunk and have a few teenage pregnancies.

    Everyone will be in the same boat, so you'll be grand.

    The only thing I'm terrified of is that I'll run out of condoms.
