I'm More Comfortable In My Dorm Than I Thought I'd Be

hi stephanieAnnc I was a very young twenty and very lonelyt so in myt second year I was stupid and quit college. but I was not lonely during my two years at U of California Irvine as I had my hubby and son home waiting for,me each evening. going back to college when marrie did have some advantages. no dorm to worry about. lol lol

My first night in a dorm was odd. But then again I was bound to feel odd with the roommate I had. She was 4'9 and I was 5'11. It was so awkward anywhere we went I felt like the Jolly Green Giant.

Never did that did my degree part time while I was running a factory. We had to do the same work as the full timers so it was hard work

I haven't stayed in a dorm before but I am glad it is working out for you! You'll make friends soon. Maybe it means that you are where you are meant to be right now that you feel so comfortable. Take care!

Glad you are comfortable. I did not go off to college. I hope you have a great semester!

It's normal to feel homesick, especially if this is your first time to be away from your family. Try to make friends, so that you don't have to feel lonely anymore. But beware, choose your friends. I didn't have my dorm before i was in college, But i did have when i was reviewing for my board exam. It was my first time to be alone, I don't feel scared, i feel excited because i'm free at last. LOL. I felt comfortable in my room, i was alone, but not feeling lonely. I was busy reviewing. I only stayed there for 3 months and then i came back home. I didn't feel homesick or something, because i can do whatever i want. LOL.

I do not remember my first nights in a dorm, it was so very long ago. I think it is great that you do feel comfortable there, though. I know you will be homesick, but this is an important step for you.

That is a good thing. I spent my first night in my apartment away from home for school listening to weird sounds and being a little scared. I knew my apartment wasnt in a very nice area but it was all i could afford at the time. When i lived with my grandparents for a year for university it was just like being at home. comfortable i knew where things were and i wasnt alone. I enjoyed that alot more.

I think I was like that too! My first dorm when I was 17 was in a different city, an hour and a half plane ride away. Although I missed my family, I also found sense of freedom which was a bit exciting for me. In a few days, I also felt really at home. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Glad you are comfortable. Going to new places can be scary. Seems like you fit right in. I remember when I was starting college, I was quite scared. I have never been in a hostel and I was missing home real bad. Once I start making friends, it was alright. Good Luck with college.

I have a few experience as that time we need to change hostel every year so I have different roommates in different hostel every year. Usually we just have a chat and get to know each other. The last year I was there I was alone at that first night as my roommates leave the room once she placed her things there- not sure where she went to so I just meet her the next morning. Yeah, you will feel a little awkward but you will be fine after awhile~(^^)
