F RESHM EN: New Pieces for the Mosaic As a freshman R.A.-to-be, I remember reading through the room- mate questionnaire and wondering how the housing office ever paired them up: one liked hard rock music and the other classical; one was from a large city and the other from a rural town. Would they survive without kill- ing each other? Could the diverse group live compatibly on one floor? I wasnlt the only apprehensive one, either. Most of the R.A.s wondered how to be supportive, but strict at the same time. Saturday arrived too soon and at 8 am. the freshman began to arrive. Some were nervous about starting over, some excited to be leaving their parents. However, the overwhelming feeling in the halls was excitement. As soon as the parents left the real trial began. Could everybody handle their independence? Orientation week was interesting. I was bombarded with questions about classes, professors, student life, ac- tivities, sports, etc. Soon, however, everyone settled into a routine and began to form new friends. To keep in touch I started hanging open-ended statements in the bathroom. live learned that they wish for the same things I do: sleep, money, more time, easier classes, a visit from their sweetheart . . . They say college ha taught them how to: order pizza, tali quick showers, sleep in class, and prc crastinate. And they like Valp because of the independence weather, and friendships. As I get to know them I realize the are no different from my upperclas friends. The diverse group of his school graduates I met on that firs day have grown into a tightly meshe family. Of course theylre still i dividuals with traumas and conflict but like most freshmen they hav each adjusted in their own way to lit at VU. -Tammy Smit
