Day 3 and I am intimidated!

Give yourself some time to adjust.  Have classes started yet?  If not, the first week in the dorms are a bit awkward - almost like camp or high school - where everyone is still "figuring out their place".

Take the time to wander the campus.  Check out some of the student unions to see what they offer.  If you know where your classes are, map out your routes so you can get to them quickly when you oversleep. 

Know where your laundry room is and how to work the machines.  Very important!  LOL.

Once classes begin, you'll start figuring out your routines for studying, getting homework done, exploring classes and clubs to try out, etc.

Think of this as an adventure - you are exploring a new world.

Class actually starts tomorrow..

So it has been quite awkward... and.. lonely. It feels like highschool again.. But
Im that new kid or the transfer student..

You will have to get it some time, my daughter had the same problem three years ago.  She is a junior and I still miss her every year.   

[anotherlaujgirl]

Yeah. I'm starting to miss home. Especially the food.

I've grown tired of dorm food.

It takes time to adjust and there will be ups and downs. Do your best, make good decisions, and make friends who have parents locally, that way you will get invites for home cooked dinners!!

I still feel like that each semester at first, but hang on and breathe and You can do it!

You'll be loving it soon. The first year is a little hard, but after that it's all great. Just stay out of trouble! lol

I definitely do want to work as hard as i can these first two years so the last 2 will be less difficult.

Sounds like a good idea. However just be sure you do your research on what the best class-itinerary is. I actually tried doing this myself and my last 2 semesters were surprisingly hard!
