I think most people at Dominican, especially the freshman, are always the most excited for school to start again so that they can meet new people. Who's hot? Who's not, you know the drill. After two whole years, or four semesters, I have come to learn that friendships and relationships play a huge role in a college experience. I like to say that everybody's eyes are wide open for the first month or two of school. This is the time when you and your friends sit in diningning hall and ask each other, "Who's that girl/guy sitting over there? What's her/his story?" After about a month all that crap wares off and students become more concerned with their English or math grade than they are with who they are attracting (the way it should be I think (okay well not entirely). This is the point were people who used to wake up two hours before class to shower and apply all the "pretty stuff" just don't give a rip any longer, and they are barely waking while class is starting, still in pj's of course. Most likely those people go back to their rooms after class and resume sleeping; Sad, but true. Don't think that everybody who attends college turns into slobs after a few weeks, that is not how it is by any means. I'm just saying that people become more comfortable around each other, especially at DU because of the small size. If I could give all of you one piece of advice concerning relationships when you enter college it's this: Ask yourself, "Will this limit my ability to have fun and meet new people?" That's what college is all about. Have fun when you enter college and, more than anything, be safe troopers.
Peace, Jeremy
