Look, got around to making that ‘ask the college guru’ blog. 

Since—

1. I go to a four year, private American University. 
2. My University is quite small
3. It’s in the Midwest as well. 

So….

-shrugs- 

Any other college goers wanna help?

//still gonna make it even if no one helps.

what do you do on your day off from classes??? do you just stay in your dorm? also is the bathroom the one you have to share with all the ppl on the floor of your dorm???

1. Well, for starters…personally I have classes from Mondays to Fridays. Ah, but I don’t really have too many. I mean, I only have them…from like…10ish? to about 1ish. Then I’m done for the day. Ah, except for Mondays. Then I’m back in class at 5:30pm until 9:30. 4 hour Art class yay!
2. Depends on my mood. -nods- I’m not /anti-social/ but hanging around a lot of people can drain me quickly. So I can only hang around certain people for extended periods of time. And I basically feed off their energy? -shrugs- That sounds creepy. But for the most part, yes. I’m in my dorm. On the computer. Doin’ things. 
3. Ahaha, you’ve probably been readin’ my ‘this is war’ posts hm? Okay, so basically—in my dorm at least, at my college, you have two rooms and they’re connected by a bathroom. Like, me and my roommate share a bathroom with this other pair of girls. That’s basically it. Ah, but when I go to London next fall if I go to London next fall it’ll be with all the people on my floor. -shudders-

I have social anxiety and college is looming in the distance. I want to learn to be independent and my therapist suggested that I live on campus. The thing is, I'm terrified of leaving home. I know they're trying to help me so I'm ready when I do have to pick a college...but I don't know if I can leave home and live on campus. I don't want to live in campus right away, maybe after a year or two of commuting, but I have no idea how to tell them that. (cont.)

((waits for cont))

I have depression, anxiety, and PTSD….

But I didn’t find out about the anxiety and PTSD until I started college….

Oh, boy. First semester was fun.

-nods-

college anon: :D yes you're very helpful! Okay next question, how big are dorms? I heard you have to share with someone else but would they be with someone from the same year?

I’m actually living in an handicapped dorm~! Lucky me! So, my dormroom is pretty big! I feel sorry for my neighbors…their rooms are smaller than average to make up for my bigger and deeper room. -laughs-

 Ah, usually it’s someone from the same year here…I think. I’m pretty sure. In the dorm I stay in, it’s required that freshman and sophomores live on campus and stay in the dorms so…-shrugs-

There might be some sophomores here that I don’t know about. Mostly everyone on my floor is a freshman though. I think. -blinks-

what are you studying in college and what do you plan to do when you graduate?

Ah, I just changed majors….so I am still adjustin’ to saying this correctly. 

I’m studying English with an emphasis with Creative Writing. I’m a dual major so I’m also goin’ after a French major. I want to become an Editor when I get out of college and publish books and become a world famous writer! 

And then move to Singapore even though a certain someone told me the gov’t only wants smart people and I’m too stupid.

what's college like? do you live on campus and if you do what's that like?

Ohhh….A tough one. 

So far. College for me…as been a struggle. blames depression and suicide attempts. 

Ah, but overall, I enjoy college. First semester I didn’t live on campus, but…that made it kinda hard, like commuting and stuff. 

So this semester I do live on campus. So far I love it. You meet a lot more people and can have a lot more interactions and connections when you’re /on/ campus versus just /visiting/….

Is this makin’ sense? And then my college is fairly small, I mean I could go around all the buildings on campus in like…half an hour.
