college orientation

[zizuhyte]

I dont know how many of you guys and girls just graduated this past year, but i just got back from orientation yesterday at NC State and all i have to say is wow. i had a blast, meeting new people whom i will probably continue to see throughout college. it's not just like a one time deal, because everyone you see there will still be there in a few weeks when school starts. not to mention i met a girl that i like so its even better. any of you been to orientation and had fun?

for you guys that are starting college (or even HS) this fall.

work you a$$es off your first semester. the way the GPA scale works, this is your only chance to start at zero, if you get a 3.5 this semester, you will have an easier time keeping your grades up. if you screw off this semester and get a 2.0, you will have to work your butts off to raise your GPA, since it moves slowly. if you get a 4.0 after getting a 2.0 your cumulative GPA will be 3.0. if you were to start with at 3.5 and get a 4.0 your GPA would be 3.75.

i know it sounds confusing, but trust me, if you work really hard your first semester, you will be better off than your classmates who are slacking off

seariously i went through freshman year with a c average or so I wish i herd it was more important freshman year. DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!!!!!!!

[WarriorLax22]

this is definitely true. i had a scholarship in high school and if i maintained an 85+ average, i could keep it. in my freshman year, i got like a 91/92 average and then had like 83, 90/91, and 86 for the rest of high school and i kept my average to like 88 because of that freshman year. they definitely should've taken it away when i was a sophomore but because i averaged above 85, they couldn't do anything.

My orientation is right before school starts. Ive already met a few people on the lacrosse team [upperclass] I kinda wish orientation was earlier just to get it over with.

He's so right. I dont think I'll have any trouble with the gpa but I know that I won't be doing as standout quality work because most people accepted into NC State were like top 20 % of their high school classes.

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

yeah, i had orientation way back at the beginning of june. all the meetings and presentations sucked, but our freetime was alot of un in jus 18 hours, i met so many new ppl. it was pretty fun. i casnt wait to actually go in three weeks...

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

yes, yes, i know. it's the #1 school in the country as far as STD's go. at least we're number 1 at something... i'll be sure to remember what van sadi... "dont be a fool... wrap your tool"

[GCHSLax04]
