My Freshman Year Assignment 1

In Rebekah Nathan’s boo, //My Freshman Year//, she made a lot of good points that can relate to my freshman year at Bloomsburg University. While explaining her first two days in the summer she is talking about the same thing as our orientation. She describes standing in a circle learning individual’s names and throwing beanbags. In my orientation we got in the quad and did the human knot and another game where one person stands in the middle of the circle says a fact about them self and if it applies to you then you move around the circle to a new spot where someone had just left. She also states that she made her first friend playing ping pong and she got more involved with touch football and volleyball. I agree that she is getting the experience, living in a dorm room, getting involved, interacting with people but I still think she should have had a roommate because that is part of the full experience. When she starts classes she starts to realize it gets harder to watch over a big group of people also. I figured this was going to happen at the beginning when she explained what she was going to do, college is a lot of work for anyone and her research is just like adding more classes to her schedule, or a sport, or a job. Sometimes it can be overwhelming.
