    I get my roomate at the end of the week too! I'm just stoked though. But my friends like to tell me not to overwhelm and corrupt them.... It should be okay, as long as I can make a PJ fan out of them;)

    I started college like a few days after No Code was released. So I'm in my room with my parents unpacking and I hear No Code coming from the room next door...now I had met a lot of my friends in high school through a love for PJ so I got excited and my parents are like "go introduce yourself next door" (because I need a little prodding with things like that). So I went to nextdoor and introduced myself and was like "hey pearl jam" or whatever...anyway, long story short the kid turned out to be kind of a jerk and I was never really friends with him :).

    oh this reminds me of good tip to meet people when you first get there- have a large supply of something delicious in your room. My dad actually thought of this for me...he packed me a 10 lb bag of gummi bears...I was like "what the hell do I need this for" he's like "you'll see."

    My close group of friends, 12 years later, is still based on my first year floor (we all either directly lived on the floor or met through people on the floor).

    it's not to say there are no problems with being thrown together with these people...there were many people on the floor who I thought were my friends...uh uh wrong about those people. That's sort of the problem with these situations-because everyone has to hang out together so much, there are incentives to deceive, talk behind backs, etc. I had some problems my first year because I had grown up with such amazing friends in high school- we were all very different but we all treated each other like family. For me, dealing with some of these people on my first year floor was drama similar to that of grade school or jr high! But it seemed like all this got weeded out by the end of the first year, and I had established more of who my friends were, met some people off the floor, etc. You're going to meet all sorts of people in college- rich kids whose daddy knows the trustees and that's the only way they got in, kids who think they are the coolest thing since sliced bread, kids who think they're the SMARTEST thing since sliced bread...these people will intentionally try to intimidate you. My advice to the people starting college is to take all this with a grain of salt, don't get caught up in the all floor/house drama...just be who you are, be nice to everyone but-not fake, and study hard.

    aw great advice. thank you dear!

    Wow, I'm leaving for good in just 2 days. I can't believe it. It's such a weird feeling...every time I'm back home it will only be a visit. I'll never just be living here again. :(

    Stay away from the drama, and always save time for fun with your roommate. We bonded over ice cream trips. Don't always study in your room and make a clear plan for brining home sexy guests.

    Awww! Changing is hard! I'm kinda sad about it, too. But it's okay, you, outlaw & I can all go through it together! :)

    Freshman roommate: Dorm. Annoying dude who smoked pot all the time. Oh, and I walked in on him self gratifying himself TWICE!! :eek:
    Sophmore roommate: First apartment. Female friend from the freshman dorm. We ended up hating eachother. She was awful!!
    Junior to end: Other apartments. Good guy, but a total slob (I'm a neat freak) and a drunk...but fun.

    Post college (good job): Condo. Life couldn't be better or happier on my own. You go solo you will NEVER want to go back!!!

    ah yeah i know i left most of my framed PJ ones at home. I just brought my Hawaii 06 and Ed posters cause they've just been sitting around my house without room on the wall. Luckily, very few people have a clue who PJ is, nevermind the value of their posters :p

    wow... college in the US is just like on tv...
    as in, where i come from, unless you go to uni out of your city or region, ie too far from home, most people just live at home...

    i guess cos its all so super expensive in bc... but i think i know one person who lives on campus, everyone else just transits in...

    dorms sound like fun though...
    live pearl jam is best pearl jam

    i hated my first college roommate with a passion.

    he was a spoiled, rich brat from long island and he would let people know it. he was a slob because he was so use to his mom cleaning up after him at home, he would never clean up after himself in our room.

    to top it off, he was a mets fan.

    My roommate is like that, frat boy who is a total slob, but if leave a mess, he will let you know. Fucking assclown, I hate the guy.

    When i started uni i was considering moving into the student halls because my uni was outside glasgow and about an hours journey there and back, but i had one look in one of my friend's rooms and there was no chance i was staying in one of those tiny rooms. The door would hoit off the bed in her room it was so small. It was tidy and modern, and i suppose a bit cosy, but i need a bit more space than that!! Will have plenty of that as of Friday when i move into my very own place, no flatmate to clean up after or battle with for teh tv controller, honestly cant fucking wait!! :)
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.
