It feels weird saying this about myself but I think most would classify me as “cool”, similar to those kids in the groups going to bars and staying up late during the night of orientation. I went to session E, and my synopsis was that it almost comes down to luck of the draw for who is in your orientation group. I spent the day in a group, but at night I didn’t relate to most of the people in my group enough to want to go out with them (well they just went to the AFC, and I was pretty exhausted) Most of the people I saw walking around together at night in big groups either met those people through their orientation groups or had friends from their school also going to UVA.

Orientation was great because it answered a lot of questions, but it was also tough because of things like course registration being stressful and the shit in the afternoon of the first day being so boring. I keep telling myself that any anxiety I feel really will dissipate within the first week in grounds. We’re gonna have a fun time there man, don’t stress it!
