THis thread shall henceforth serve as my own official place of records as college comes to doom me.
Please send help.
I finished enlistment a few days ago. It was very strange, and I simply have no clue what happened, other than the fact that somehow it went much more smoothly than I imagined.
I’m not quite sure what I was expecting with my schedule. I have a lot of free time though, much more than I’m used to. I expect that much of it will be taken up by projects in the future, but wow there really isn’t a lot.
I haven’t even explored campus yet. Lord help me.
Its very weird how certain skills from one place can apply in another. For instance, I was able to use my elite training as a Knight of EPSA to grab the slots I need to make my schedule. It’s not like it was hard either.
The biggest issue was often the fact that you dont actually know what subjects are enlisted until you’re there, meaning that people who go first are in a disadvantage. Granted, they get first pickings, but they also get to suffer as every single slot they choose conflicts with another, causing a chain reaction of pain and sorrow.
What was I talking about? Ah yes, slots. Frankly, I thought iit’d be much harder. Through my charm and wit though, I was able to acquire a schedule from an aqcquaintance of mine (read: I begged until they caved). From there it was a simple matter of scheduling and I was homefree.
Fun fact: I sometimes forget to use keybinds when tagging. I just kinda click with my mouse. I wonder if I should play an FPS game and see how I go.
College is so bigggggggggggg. Like, I didn’t expect it to be this big, jeez.
It’s also really hot, but the trees help.
Frankly, it’s starting to dawn on me that this is real, this is happening, I am going to college.
i’ll be honest, I never expected to be here. Like, I’m in college now. I never thought I would survive past SHS, cause I continuously felt like I was out of control and that I’d fail. Look at me now.
It feels weird. I also finished paying for college. Dear god paying off that debt will take a while.
I’m terrified. Despite everything, this is a new part of my life, and I’m not quite sure how to cope. A part of me thinks that nothing will change, that I’ll still be stuck working for grades. And I hate that part of me. I want to change, and I want college to be the spark that starts that. I’m scared that it wouldn’t, that I’m going to stay like… me.
I’m really not sure how to cope with that, but I’ll have to. After all, I’m a college boy now.
This update’s a bit heavier than I expected it to be, but I’ve just been in another one of those moods. One thing I like about forums is that I can kinda just type words and have complete thoughts.
Enjoy a lot this new period of your life Halley. You’ll see how you’ll blink your eyes and you’re wondering how is it possible you got your degree a whole year ago now 
[mention]Sammy23[/mention] Thanks, Sammy. I’m just very overwhelmed, lmao. Lotta things to do and I’m not sure how to plan it out.
I do have one plan though: the PE electives I’m gonna take. See, each elective lasts one semester, and I need to take four of them spread out throughout 2 years.
SO, my plan is to take up circuit training in the hopes that it can provide a baseline for my personal fitness, then go with some sports like badminton. Should be fun. Thankfully, PE doesnt factor into the final grade, so I don’t have to focus too hard on it.
Note: This was the plan from the beginning. I am not coping. I’ve always wanted to do circuit training. It’s not like literally everyone else took the slots from Badminton AND ballroom dancing away from me. THIS ISN’T A COPE I AM AOK. IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
i am so fucking tired
i walked all thoroughout campus trying to find the rooms for my classes. I had to walk throughout the campus just to find a specific one, getting lost the whole way.
The worst part is that I thought one of my profs cancelled classes only to realize that they instead moved classrooms, which was like in an entire other building.
this is the most tiring day of my life. Cant wait to do it again tomorrow.
Still got lost again. Also accidentally nearly went out of campus. Maybe I don’t have as good a sense of direction as I thought.
Interestingly, Some of my classes only meet once a week, meaning that I don’t really need to go to campus 4 times a week. Still, I’m planning to join some orgs, I guess.
Speaking of which, there are a lot of orgs I wanna join. I think I’ll join the ones I chose, then quit ones I don’t like as I go along.
Also getting my books. Should I go for e-books or real books? e-books are easier to move but real books help me focus more. in addition, e-books are cheaper by around 4 bucks.
I’ll make a poll, i guess. i wonder if anyone is still reading this?

I know when I went to uni, some orgs had membership fees. Is that the case over there for you?
I would say ebooks mainly for the convenience and the savings on physical space, but I contribute my deteriorating eyesight to reading ebooks everyday…

Yep, although the fees in my college dont go past 2 dollars. Should be affordable enough, I can sacrifice 1/5 of my allowance on possible fees.
I decided to go for real books mostly because I miss writing on them.
Also, I’m planning to get into the Judiciary at college. That’s right, there’s law! And I’m gonna join it! They’ve got like mock trials and everything! Hopefully I can learn stuff there that I can apply here.
Besides that, I also want to join the Student Council proper, my home org, and probably one other. Not sure on the last one yet.
Overall I’ve been settling pretty well, I’ve stopped getting lost and I’m exploring shortcuts to take. I’ve also found a few places to eat food in, which is nice. For some reason I got adopted by a group and now we kinda hang. It’s neat.
I can really feel the coursework piling in now, I’ve got 3 different papers due in 3 different days and I really don’t want to write one of them. Ah well, I’ll deal with it.

We’re on the Student Council President arc now.
I have gained access to my college’s trial records and the precedents they set.
Fear me.
“Hey this TEP trial record looks awfully similar to…”
