Dorm Life 101

My first experience in a res hall was here at Chatham. It was, to say the least, intimidating. I did a lot of talking out of my ass. I look back now and think that all those people that I spent my time talking to probably think I'm some sort of raving lunatic. In the beginning, I noticed that everyone waved to one another, making eye contact and trying to befriend everyone. A college freshman told me during my senior year of high school that I would meet people and hang out with them, the group might change and there might be additions or people leaving, but suddenly, you'd find yourself with a good group of people to spend your time with. And to be honest with you, I've done just that. I had some rough spots, but now, I'm satisfied with who I'm friends with, where I'm living and what I'm doing.
