Because this article is about surviving the first few days of college, we might ordinarily wait and post it toward the end of the school year or perhaps during the summer. But it does include some advice that we begin sharing with our seniors early in the year, so we think it's worth posting now. Besides, it includes some of our best advice like "leave your dorm room open." That is one of the best ways to meet new people. Of course, we would add that you should always have some music playing too. That's also a good way to draw people in.
Another suggestion is "don't stay in your dorm room," especially the first night . Or as we say it, don't wait in your room for someone to ask you to come out and play. You may be tired, nervous, or even a little scared, but staying in your dorm room is a sure way to become homesick fast! And just because you may have a boyfriend back home doesn't mean you can't go out and have fun. You need to develop your own life at college, and the rest will fall into place.
