College orientation; going alone? >.>?
I went to mine two years ago, so I sort of relate. At the same time though, I knew somebody there so it is different. I know that there are a lot of people going by themselves who don't know anybody else. It's part of college, your not going to be with somebody by yourside at all times, alot, or most, of the time you are walking by yourself because you will have different schedules than the people you know. No need to feel nervous. On the first day, it is pretty easy to meet people because many are in your situation and don't know anybody so they want to meet others. You don't need to be outgoing, just enjoy the tour and let the rest fall into place. Like I said, I attended with a friend, but we ended up splitting up because of the tour, and I went by myself from then on. I am the outgoing type so I'll try to relate to you, what I did for lunch was just sit in an open chair next to two random people I'd never seen before, but seemed like my type of people and asked them if they were touring and if anybody was sitting in the seat next to them. They said yes to touring and no to the seat being taken. Just ask the people what school, they come from and about their hometown. General things, like what they plan to study and why. I never spoke to them again because we split up, but the lesson is that friends are not needed to get by in school, you can get by with just being a social person. But you'll make friends, maybe not at orientation, but eventually; and there are MANY just like you who will relate to your life in some way. Hope I helped, can you help me, please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
How was the Open house 2018 of Bennett University Greater Noida?
Stage 3: Campus Trek (A virtual one for you guys,for now)The model of the entire campus with the red arrow pointing to the academic block and faculty inhousing ( yet to start )& hostels pointed by blue & red arrows respectively.2. Lecture hall for first year students. (The open house was held here)3. Canteen Area (the view isn’t half bad either)4. Cafeteria Glimpses5. The Reception (usage of electronic wastes to beautify it)6. Old Library (For the ones seeking solitude)The new one is going to open soon in the form of a separate block.7. Boys & Girls Hostel Rooms (Same designs of both)8. Girls Hostel Common Balcony For every set of 10 rooms (Whoops.Boys dont have this facility)9. Boys hostel ground floor (You will get the feeling of always being on vacation…as it’s a grand hotel blueprint guys!)10. Sports complex11. Swimming Pool (Not much to fret about but hey,it was clean even when a bunch of hostelers had scattered out of it sometime back! Same goes for washrooms)12. Computer lab (No more crying over low processing speeds & outdated softwares in college labs.)Interesting fact: There was a brief mention about a supercompter being worked upon near the computer lab during Q & A. This caught the interest of some of the audience members who were later found to be frantically running across the blocks,trying to have a glimpse of the ‘campus celebrity’ which probably no outsider had seen in action.)Disclaimer:1. I have used only my camera’s pictures for reference. In case you would like to surf more, click here: bennett university greater noida2. Am not comparing this with any specific private or govt. university,that is for the reader to analyse for himself/herself
First day at a new high school, nervous about eating lunch alone, etc. ): pic included. Please help!!?
Hey! Don't worry too much about it, you look fine. Usually personality and friendliness are just a tad more important than looks though. I've moved a couple of times in high school and its always pretty tough. Just make friends with someone in the period before lunch and ask if you can hang with them, at least until you find your own friends. Usually people are way accepting of that. And I advise you to bring your own lunch so your seat doesn't get taken or you get forgotten about while in the lunch line. If that doesn't work out, you can always just stay outside if thats allowed and do something interesting that will get you noticed, like drawing. I happened to have chalk with me and by the end of the period eight people were helping me chalk body outlines into the courtyard concrete. Weirdos. Just have fun and don't worry about it! If you don't sit with anything the first few days just join a club or team and you will get some friends you can sit with. That always worked for me at least and I used to be very, VERY shy. Good luck! <3
What to do about a person who doesn't leave you alone?
People with Asperger's often have trouble reading people and picking up social cues. He may not realize that his behavior comes off as stalkerish, or that it bothers you. I recommend talking to him about it directly. Tell him specifically what he is doing that annoys you, why it bothers you, and what he could do differently.
What will happen to you if you will go abroad alone?
I just returned from a two-week trip to Europe that I took by myself. I didn’t know anyone in any of the cities I traveled to, I had never been to any of these places before, and I even booked an Airbnb that had 0 reviews at the time.Everything was fine. I survived. The biggest issues I faced were lugging my suitcase up and down stairs (not heavy, but I’m not that tall so it’s a bit difficult) and getting on the wrong train a few times. People were exceedingly helpful, helping me get the suitcase up or down stairs on a few occasions, getting me through the train gate when my pass had (unbeknownst to me) demagnetized, trying their best in English when I had trouble understanding—my French listening skills are awful—and so on.You do have to be more vigilant if you’re a woman traveling alone. Be aware of your surroundings. Keep your purse zipped up. Don’t be afraid to be rude if homeless guys walk up and start talking to you. Don’t be too trusting, but don’t assume the worst in people automatically. Do some planning beforehand to make sure you know where you’re headed, and try not to travel super late at night by yourself.To be honest, the only time I felt uncomfortable was on the 6-hour flight where the guy next to me spent half his time playing with himself under the blanket.Of course, I had some experience traveling by myself prior to this. Sometimes things go your way and sometimes they don’t. I missed my flight once when I was 19 due to getting on the wrong train. Stuff happens. When that happened, some ladies saw me with my suitcase and realized I had gotten on the wrong train. They helped me out and got me going the right direction, even going as far as to see me off on the platform.I guess the short answer is to say that nothing could happen, something could happen, or small somethings could happen.And that Airbnb with 0 reviews? Best stay of my entire trip.
Can I go to college tours alone (without my parents)?
I'm a high school senior and I have already decided on the college that I'm going to. My parents are fine with the college and it's great/affordable. I still haven't visited the college yet so I was wondering if I could go on the tour alone? It's like an hour away from home and I'd be able to actually get the feel more without my parents' opinions in the way...
Eating alone in college?
I'm a freshmen in college. In all the time i've been here I think i've shared a meal with a group of people 3 times. I know its incredibly sad. Most of the time i just get the food and take it back to my dorm. I've had an extremely hard time making friends at this school. Part of it is my fault, and i mostly attribute it to rooming with a high school friend. I didn't discover he was antisocial until we came to college. And a lot of it rubbed off on on me. The part beyond my control is that this school is as cliquey as high school. The jocks hang out and eat with the jocks.. the equivalent of girl jocks the same thing... I don't really fit in with any group of people here. I tried eating by myself a couple times but it felt like everyone else was staring me down. That being said, I'm leaving this school for a much bigger university where i plan on being involved in marching band from the beginning. I also heard that my major (meteorology) is a close knit group, so hopefully i will make friends there. Its just the whole eating thing makes me nervous. My cousin goes to this university, and im sure she barely ever eats alone because she is decently popular (she's an attractive tall girl, im a short average looking guy.. go figure).. we are really close, and i don't want her to see me eating alone. A lot of this fear stems from the sophomore year of high school where i ate lunch by myself.. i had no friends in that lunch period. And the former friend i tried to sit with ditched me. It was terrible because theres nothing worse than being known as the kid who eats alone in high school. The following years i never ate alone, but coming into college has brought back these old fears. Does anyone share in a similar situation? If so, how did you get past this? All the best.
