When people come to college they are nervous and don't know how to get involved right away. Some advice for all freshman is MAKE FRIENDS ON YOUR FLOOR! I can promise you that the kids on you floor will either be your best friends or your worst nightmares.
My freshman year has been the best anyone could have ever asked for! I'm on a floor of 16 guys and I thought this would be terrible having no girls but it was just the opposite. Having a floor with my now called boys is the best experience I could ask for. You need to make these friends because these are the kids who will get you through the year! You don't have mommy and daddy anymore you need people who will have your back throughout the year and those are the kids.
Right now we are heading into finals week at Merrimack and these guys are the only people keeping me sane. They keep you relaxed and they keep you wanting to succeed. If it wasn't for my floor mates I would have fell through the cracks and probably wouldn't be doing as good as I am right now.
The point of this is to get you guys to be social and reach out to kids in college! You can't last in college f you don't have bro's or your girls by your side, and chances are the majority of those people will be the ones on your floor. Make it a point to hang out with them as much as possible because those will be your friends for all four years!
