You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future.
