College starts for me on Tuesday..eek

[WannaBeGrumpy]

I'm so nervous...:scared:
wish me luck :scared:


:hide:

(edited due to the fact that this topic was going not in the direction i intended it too..Just was making a joke and just wanted some good luck wishes)

[kentauros]

1. Are you sure it's not

"collage" :P

[skooooo]

2. I think you mean collage, don't you??

:rofl:

[kentauros]

3. And be careful of

text massages as you never know where they're coming from

[skooooo]

4. And god forbid don't offend DUers who can't spell!

The ultimate crime!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

5. hey my bf can't spell...

so i find it much easier not to attack people on spelling as there are so many other important things to attack them on...we all screw up sometimes...

[skooooo]

6. Well there's spell check...

..and there's no reason to take it personally. Spelling does count, especially when it affects the meaning of what you're trying to say.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

8. I'm just saying that it's not an intelligent idea to attack people...

based on thir spelling. Some people just can't spell and we all mess up sometimes. I even mess up and i was in the National Spelling Bee. A lot of really intelligent people can't spell and a lot of unintelligent people can spell. The purpose of these boards id to discuss and meet people, not to attack...


and this wasn't an attack on you and I really don't want this to turn into a huge flamewar ...I'm just giving my POV

:hi: :hug:

[skooooo]

10. Well if you chose to participate in a text environment...

...certain things come with it. That's what I'm saying. And again there's no reason to see it as an "attack" if it's pointed out nicely. We all owe it to each other to try our best, that's all. Some people spell poorly because they are too lazy to try, others because they have dyslexia, others because they type too fast.

I'm just tired of everyone feeling entitled not to be "offended" and assuming that it's okay to spell college as "collage" without someone nicely point out that that's not how it's spelled.

[ScreamingMeemie]

79. Oh...please.

Get over yourself.

Thank you

[PassingFair]

24. WannaBe is too humble to mention to you...

that she went to Washington D.C. a couple of years
ago to compete in the NATIONAL SPELLING BEE.

Girl can SPELL!

Yes. She. Can.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

25. Nice picture...

JERK!


:hi: :)

[PassingFair]

31. Hey, I was being nice!

On PRINCIPLE!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

33. Oh so that must be why we never get anywhere!!!

WORST! JOKE! EVER!
...yet somehow the funniest joke ever!


i know you were being nice that's why i love you!





TOGEPII!!
Don't you feel like a loser???!!

[PassingFair]

38. I would....if I could ever figure which HAND to use...

[skooooo]

39. my bad...

She's obviously on her way to a wonderful future!

[kentauros]

7. I was under the impression you speeled "college" wrong on porpoise.

You know, it's da lounge! :rofl:

:D

[WannaBeGrumpy]

9. I did spell it wrong on purpose...

i just wanted good luck wishes for school

[kentauros]

17. Well then, good Luck!

:D

I learned early on not to take more than I could handle, so I usually took no more than 14-15 hours. I never understood how some of them could take more than that. I do like having a life other than studying; you go stir crazy otherwise! lol

[DebJ]

11. Good luck! Is this your first year? I hope to be graduating in

December myself. I started college in ....... 1973. If I pass student teaching this fall, I'll be certified in late January to teach
social studies.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

12. Yeah this is my first year and i'm so excited...

but really nervous at the same time...wiith any luck I'll make it through...i'm worried that I won't finish...but I think I will

[skooooo]

13. don't be nervous!

you'll be fine...

[DebJ]

16. I've never had a college prof who wouldn't work with me on

things, once they could see I was (intensely) interested in learning everything I could and doing my best. It took me 35 years to get thorugh school because I got married
at 19, had two kids, one with special needs, got divorced, then had to raise them on my own while working. So here's my advice: just do your very best at all times and
for goodness sakes forget the guys until you get your bachelor's. If you do that, and finances don't become an issue, you will graduate, I guarantee it!

[tigereye]

41. good luck, what an exciting time for you!

:thumbsup:

[lightningandsnow]

14. Best of luck!

Have fun!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

27. Thanks!

I'm already starting to have some fun!

[Redstone]

15. You'll do fine. Remember you have a strong mom who will be there if you need her.

Redstone

[WannaBeGrumpy]

28. Yes she is and she'll be home from Texas...

In time for my first day!

[livetohike]

18. Have a great time, good luck and

don't forget to study! :hi:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

29. That will be my biggest issue because...

I'm not an avid studier but I'm planning on drawing myself up a schedule to get myself organized to study.

[swag]

19. Have a great time! Learn lots! Eat good food! Laugh a lot!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

30. All of the food is AMAZING!!!

I'm going to get so fat, i swear.

[Fox Mulder]

20. Good luck!

I remember my first day of college seven years ago. I was really excited and nervous at the same time. Those four years turned out to be the best four years of my life. :)

You'll do great. :)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

32. Thanks I hope so

:)

[ghostsofgiants]

21. College is awesome, you'll love it.

:)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

34. I'm starting to think that i will...

at least I hope I will!

[ghostsofgiants]

58. It's much different from high school.

I loathed high school.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

61. high school blows

that is all

[ghostsofgiants]

64. F'sho.

[Tindalos]

22. Good luck

Don't be nervous. College is a great time to try new things, travel, meet people, etc. Have fun.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

35. Thanks...

I've already met a lot of really awesome people and have had quite a bit of fun so far!

[pokerfan]

23. Have fun and a tip

You will find that instead of a normal six hour high-school day that you will probably have only three or four hours of lecture per day. Time management is crucial. Try to think of it as a 8-5 job. Make use of the time between classes to study. Go to a library or someplace quiet to study. Not wasting time during the day will free up time in the evenings and weekends for fun. Don't forget to have fun!

This is pretty cool too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Notes">Cornell note-taking system

Good luck.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

36. Thanks a lot...

studying is definitely my downfall...but i'm trying to get together a study plan so that i will be able to get it done!

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Good luck, study hard, and enjoy the adventure. :^)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

37. Thanks!

:hi: :)

[billyoc]

40. I suggest you run away and join the circus immediately.

You'll be glad you did.

[PassingFair]

42. Some of us have our regrets....

[Phentex]

43. I'm happy for you...

I know it will be a wonderful experience for you. Enjoy every minute! :)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

48. I'll try...

:)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

49. I'll try...

:)

[Nickster]

44. Good Luck! You'll totally love it. I personally guarantee it.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

50. I'll hold you to it...

So if I don't love it what will you give me??? hmmm?

[janx]

45. Hang with your profs, do your assignments, and you'll be fine!

I teach college writing and become very attached to some of my students. ;-)

Good luck! Just do the assignments when they're assigned. Keep up with it, even if you think you can't understand it at first. :hi:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

51. Thanks I hope that I can come up with...

a good plan to quit procrastining and to get work and studying done.

[Haole Girl]

46. Good luck!

I knew it was a joke and.. hey.. I'm usually the last one to catch on!!

:loveya:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

52. Way to Go!!

and thanks for the good luck wishes! :hug:

[driver8]

47. I started college 27 years ago, and I remember the first day like it was yesterday!

I could not wait to get to college, and enjoyed every minute of it!!

My best advice to you is to show up for class!!

Believe me, unless you are in a huge lecture hall, Profs know who is in class and who isn't!

Good luck and keep us posted.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

54. Oh I plan on being there everyday...

The only way I won't be there is if i am really sick or if there's too much snow (i commute)..
Luckily though, I've heard all the professors are really cool and understand that a lot of kids commute so I should be OK!

[KitchenWitch]

53. I have every confidence that you will be a roaring success!

You are smart and capable.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

55. I really hope I do well...

but I think I wil because I'm motivated to do well and learn and in high school, i was just not motivated...i was over it i guess and ready to move on.

[LostinVA]

56. Good luck

You'll do great.

Tell your mom we got the house.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

62. Thanks I will...

she's on her way home from texas right now.

[Mutley]

57. Good Luck!

I'm sure you'll do fine. :hug:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

63. Thanks...

I'm kinda sure that i will..

[SacredCow]

59. You'll do great....

You seem like you have a great head on your shoulders, and are more mature than I was at that age.

My best advice is to not stress over it!

Best of luck to you!

:hug:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

65. yeah I stress easily...

so that will be problem..

[BreweryYardRat]

60. Good luck, kiddo!

Study hard, but don't forget to HAVE FUN! (And getcherself a car if you don't already have one.)

My first three years of college sucked. I'm finally approaching semi-normal in my fourth year.

Hope you do better.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

66. I have a car..i have to...i commute...

yay in the snow (sarcasm)

[BreweryYardRat]

70. Jesus, how far?

And what's your gas mileage?

[WannaBeGrumpy]

74. About 15 miles...

and 20 mpg

[bigwillq]

67. Good Luck!

Have a great time. Study hard. College is the best years of your life. You truly do learn some much about yourself and about life. Enjoy it! :hi: :hug:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

68. Thank You...

[Blue-Jay]

Whattya know, I type just as bad with 'em crossed. ;)

:hug: :toast:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

76. Thank You...:)

:) :hug:

[UrbScotty]

72. May I ask where? I'm a CMU guy myself

My cousin is starting at Wayne State.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

77. I'm a Warrior!

I already love Wayne...maybe I'll run into your cousin.

[1gobluedem]

73. You're going to do great

And we're all going to be able to say we knew you when....:yourock:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

78. Awww...thanks

:)

[sniffa]

80. Good luck, you'll do more than fine

:loveya:

I start Thursday night, and I'm nervous because it's been over a decade since I was a student. You're going at the good age, and you're going to love it (as I did once I left home to go away to school).

:hi:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

81. You'll be fine

Enjoy it to the fullest. My college years were beyond the shadow of an iota of a doubt the best years of my life
