12 Entering college is one of the turning points in a per- son's life. The following ar- ticles relate some of the first impressions of incom- ing freshmen Say Cheese, Please! Before freshman orienta- tion, I had heard that you did not have time to comb your hair or fix your makeup before your ID. picture was made. It was described as a come in, sit do wn, smile situ- ation. In my case It was quite that way. So I went in, sat down, and smiled. I was extremely nervous. After the picture was taken, I took my place In line with the other fresh- man students. After waiting approximately ten minutes, the pho tographer asked me to come back and have my picture made again. He ex- plained that the camera had not worked correctly. This time I was more re- laxed, but a little embar- rassed because all of the student photographers were laughing and saying that he had done it on pur- pose. Ten minutes later, I was asked to sit for my pic- ture once again. By now I was totally relaxed and blood red in the face. Need- less to say, this made a real natural picture. If it is possi- ble to break the camera by merely looking at it, then I must have made a record by doing It twice In one day. I must add that after all I went through I wasn't very pleased with my final pic- ture. I really cannot com- plain because It was no onels fault but my own; after all, I did have three chances. Nyana Stevenson ORIENTATION ORIENTATION CAMPUS LIFE Campus life is very differ- ent from living at home and going to high school. When I first arrived on campus, my heart started bea ting fas ter, and I realized for the first time that I missed feeling the security of home. Isoon real- Ized that I had taken for granted my parents always being there when I needed them. I also felt that I had pushed away to start a new life for myself and to come across new experiences, whe ther good or bad. In this respect, living on campus has given me my first taste of adulthood. In high school I knew al- most everyone, but it usually takes a couple of months to meet people in college be- cause of the large number of students. It also took me a couple of weeks to become adjusted to the big change in life style. But after that things started to become very routine. I like the class schedule better than in high school, because Iget out of classes earlier, and I have time for more activities in the afternoon. It took a while to get used to the independence of col- lege life, but I know now that my decisions and ex- periences are very impor- tant and that I like the new sense of freedom. lalso feel that college makes a per- son more mature and defi- nitely helps one to prepare for the future. Becca Carter SETTLING DO WN The first week on campus was the most terrifying time In my life. Starting school sure seemed fast to me. Summer was over, and here I was alone in my room. Panic had struck me be- cause Iknew I was here and didn 't know anyone. I was all alone in this strange place. I didn't know where the buildings were or my classes, so I went and looked for them. I felt so different being on my own and finding things for myself. Mo ving in to the dorm took me almost three hours. I tried to make the room look like my room at home. Get- ting used to the room and being there with another person seemed impossible. There were so man y things to do at the same time, I really thought I couldn't make It. Everybody had told me how hard It was in college, I was totally scared to death to start. I went to my classes and everything worked out fine. I found out It really wasn't so bad after all. The first week was hectic but Imade it. And now ev- erything is running smoothly. I will always remember the first week though because it was the first step to a new life.
