Confessions From A Peer Advisor
So I met my lovely nuggets (my endearing term for them) today, and they all seemed like a good bunch. Well.. 1/3 of them are sports-y, which means that they've been on campus for two whole weeks, which provides them knowledge of the campus grounds. They've been eating the same food, and been hanging out with each other, so the disinterest I see in their eyes by having to participate in these freshman activities is clear, and also a bit understandable. I can see them dropping off and doing their own thing at college half-way through the week, to which I wish them the best. 1/3 of them seem (and when I say seem, I mean by their body language, direction of sight, and tone of voice) to be making jest. Which is okay (not really, but it is what it is), but when one of them said, in response to the question 'What are you most excited about?', that they were ready for the partying, the typical 'Oh lawd' passed through my mind. So I wish them the best as well. I can't please everyone, so if a few people seem to be making jest of me, I really don't care. If they aren't, then I can't read people correctly. If I am correct, well then karma. 1/3 of them seem to be really cool people. They are friendly, and were the ones that actually responded to my messages about where to go and such. I have high hopes for them, and they all seem like chill people. Maybe that is biased, because they were friendly to me, but respect is earned, and they're the closest one's to earning it as far as I am concerned. I can't wait for classes to start, and for my little nuggets to spread their wings and fly. May life take them down the right (i.e. deserving) path.
