I loved my roommates so far. My freshmen year I roomed with my good friend Tiny. He is a massive big rugby/ fire fighter guy. I at the time was a small little dude who played frisbee who also had firefighting in mind for a career. We both met during move in day and the first thing I told him when I met him was "Wow your big". I also signed up to be part of a LLC a living learning community, which consisted of only people who were Fire Majors would be in the same area. After awhile we all became good friends, I still am in contact with most of them and still can talk with out being mad, some of my friends refuse to talk to each other because of what something they did or do. I don't care there nice to me and treat me right. 

 

Freshmen year

So I wasn't in the mood to go to college, I wanted to be lazy. Any way after a week or 2 all of us had something in common even though some were larger, or shorter, or jocker then others we all had something in common and it wasn't firefighting. It was watching dumb ass videos on youtube and having a good laugh. Brian Regan was our thing, Tourerettes guy, and a couple of other things. We all were a gang we we all for the most part would do everything together. Other freshmen would call us the Fire Fags cause you would see us coming. But we made do with what we had and we had a blast. 

 

Sophomore year I roomed again with Tiny, and two other friends I had meet through the LLC. Great times again. But during my Junior I got shafted with roommate selection. I wanted to room with them again, but because I missed a semester, b/c I slacked off one semester I had to miss it. So I was a Soph when they were Juniors. The roommates I got were random. Two of them were friends and were I guess acted like Frat boys. One wanted to get antlers and everytime someone brought a chick to the room hang their bra on it. The other guy a football player, he was a nerd. First thing I saw when I walked in was that he had a duel screen set up and thought this must be someone else's NOPE. 

 

I got along with all of them, but the football player was who I related to more. He was a nerd, he played WOW all the time and would do all nighters playing. And he got me into playing DOTA 2. They were all good guys just some better than the others. 

 

I'm in my Senior year, and I talk with most of the LLC when I see them, I'm on a good basis with them all. I am rooming with two of my friends I roomed with in my Sophomore year, no Tiny though but when we see each other I get a big bear hug. I was able to room with them because right now I am taking accelerated summer courses to make up the semester. Once you made friends in College, these are the friends that you most likely will have for the rest of your life. I'm doing these classes even though I am miserable, I'm doing it to be with them and walk when it comes to Graduation. The friends I have met so far in College I couldn't ask for anything better.  

 

My two things I would advice you to do are the following:

1) step out of your comfort zone and do different things, and just be sociable. Don't do things that maybe frowned upon. Try to see what a group does, the thing that related for me was videos on youtube. I knocked on the door when I saw they were all in the room, and asked if I can come in they laughed "fuck of course come on" After watching a couple videos I told them one video and we had a good laugh,

 

and 

 

2) Don't judge people by looks I told all my friends freshmen year, you guys intimated me and I was nervous talking, They understood and joked about it. Good guys.

 

Don't be afraid, everyone is in the same boat. And everyone is starting to become adults, people may still act immature and those are the people who don't go far. The people who understand are the ones who make it and also make great friends.
