Okayyyyy, this post will be short and sweet with a little romance to kindle the moods for anyone curious about syllabus week of college/university. For this semesters classes, I endured two classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, three classes on Wednesday, and one class on Friday. Mondays and Wednesdays are my favorite, not because of the classes, but because of who is in them. I will come back to the who after I finish the what. The classes seem relaxed and chill, but that makes sense since I am a communications major. The work is actually easier than high school and more interesting than extracurriculars, which is saying something. Ok, now onto the "romance." I met this guy the third day of orientation week because he helped my mother bring the rest of my bags to my room. My mother thought she saw a spark in his eye when he saw me. I think my mother is hilarious. Just for the record, almost every guy at my university is extremely attractive. So this same guy is in one of my classes that meet Mondays and Wednesdays, which explains my love for those days. So we kind of formed a bond in the second class this past Wednesday and the following Thursday I received the biggest hug of all time. A hug literally means nothing, but this was the first hug from that I received from a guy in a very long time and also it was from a guy that I genuinely appreciated (the crush is starting to form). I literally cannot stop thinking about that hug. IT WAS JUST A HUG..., but it was warm and comfortable and lovely. Needless to say, I am excited for Monday. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I can't help myself. My advice is to not feel like all of the guys in college/university want sex because not all of them do. You just have to look in the right place for the right guy and even then you may not find a guy like that in your first year anyway.
Sincerely,
True predictions!
P.S. Keep updated because we (including myself) would love to see how that romance kindles or dies out throughout my college/university experience.

BOYS IN UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE
Hello all,
This is just going to be an overview of the characteristics I first noticed when I encountered a boy in either college or university. I have experience in both America and Europe because I am an American going to an international university in Britain.
First, boys from anywhere in the world in their first year of higher education look for the same thing from girls. You do have to remember that only three months earlier these same boys were in high school/secondary school. They have not changed drastically from the beginning of summer to now. Just because the age qualifies these BOYS as "men," does not mean there has been a revelation where stupid becomes intelligent. Of course there are exceptions to these terms!
Second, boys can be extremely smooth, especially in Europe. They seem nice and sweet and caring, but trust and believe nothing can come from this in the first year of higher education.
Lastly, try not to bring a boy to your room...unless you want them there for extra curricular activities that involve gender equality and immersion. I hope you understand what I mean. Prepare for some kind of action if you bring back a boy to your room alone.
Luckily for me, I have not done any of these things, but I know many people who are highly knowledgable in this subject. My advice is to just be safe in all of your decisions and put yourself in the mind of these sexually charged wieners in order to think straight and understand.
Sincerely,
True Predictions!

MEETING PEOPLE IN UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE
Soooooo, I have started college and it is now two days into orientation. Not saying that I am an expert or anything, but I have tips on how to meet people when you enter university or college. I did not do these things, which is why I am writing a blogpost on a night when everyone is going out.
Tip #1:
Do not have a single room!
I thought that having the extra privacy would affect nothing. I was wrong, the privacy at the beginning of a new school experience makes it harder to make friends. If you do have a single dorm room then make sure to get out and go places.
Tip #2:
Make sure your parents leave ASAP!
The parents hinder you from doing anything and everything. Try to get them moving along at the first opportunity possible. It was especially hard for me because my mother is like my best friend and when I was without her I was uncomfortable, but that feeling of AWKWARD will go away once you meet friends. So get over the awkward feeling of being alone because everyone feels that way and you are not special.
Tip #3:
Say hi!
Literally say hi, hello or something to everyone and anyone. I personally only did this twice and because of it I have friends...I think. People receive communication well unless they are mentally ill, but then again they usually don't mind because it is inevitable. For me saying hi was hard. I am an introvert when it comes to meeting new people not because I don't like meeting people or because I am afraid, but because I like solitude just as much as socializing.
Tip #4:
Explore!
You should explore both your campus and the area around your campus so that if any situation were to occur you are prepared for the worst. I am not a fan of surprises so this helped me a lot. I was able to go into the city and also wander around campus with all my free time being a lonely university student with no friends and family gone.
Tip #5:
Always have your phone!
People love to hand out their number during the this awkward start to the school chapter. So make sure you have a phone to give that info. Another reason is because when you are alone you can (watch me) whip that phone out (that previous parenthesis was referencing the song) and pretend that you were doing something important and that you have a life somewhere on the internet.
I don't know why I am giving these tips and not following them even though I could use them? I am sitting in the common room with three other girls to my left watching a movie and I refuse to acknowledge their presence. Seriously I won't even look at them because...
I am also one of the youngest in my university where everyone is over 18 easily as a freshman. I did manage to meet a really cute guy because my mom got his help bringing my bags to my room. She is literally my wing-woman. He later said hi to me and remembered my face. I died a little inside.
In all honesty, you can't mess up your first days of college with all of the activities most universities and colleges provide all you have to do is be yourself and live and learn.
Sincerely,
True Predictions!
