College orientation is not designed for the introverted.
I can't connect with people in a huge group and mad rush. The problem with this, for me, is that most people can. This is superficial and exhausting. These first couple of days are filled with challenges, most of which I have met, but of course I'm not fulfilled yet. Neither is anyone else.
I can't wait for classes to start, where I can meet people without being the loudest voice in the room. An unexpected plus is that my roommate is a pretty good wingman. So this weekend could be interesting.
It's easy to forget that I have a knack for making things work out. It's easy to fall back on my high school friends, whom I miss immensely. This is my big challenge and big adventure, and I'm liking it thus far. I just have to make it through a couple more days of not fitting in as much as I want to.
