-- Posted by rapsody at 1:39 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 It's not the classes, the tuition, or the lack of free time I might have that I'm worried about. I afraid of when I start classes, I will be the quiet person of the classroom. I don't want to be a class clown, but I at least want to communicate with others but I'm afraid because I think that I may be totally different from others and they'll think I'm weird. -- Posted by MystiqueBeauty16 at 1:40 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Then talk to other people. Be confident, but not cocky. Confidence goes a long way, especially with the ladies. -- Posted by ReesesLuverx3 at 1:40 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 cha im kind of afraid of college too...  but for dif. reasons :/ -- Posted by TechnoShark at 1:40 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Nobody cares that much in college. -- Posted by uwastedmyheart at 1:41 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Eh, you'll get use to it. I started going to college by junior year in high school school. And you won't be the quiet person "in" the classroom. I mean you'll being seeing many many people. I don't anyone is going to pay attention to you and think "oh, she's so quiet". -- Posted by Missipop at 1:41 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 be yourself dont act like the class fool but make new friends i cant wait till is start collage allthought its like years away -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 1:42 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 College isn't a popularity contest....I really mean that too.  Besides, almost everyone is quiet the first coulple days of class. -- Posted by kookykylex3 at 1:42 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 just talk... -- Posted by italianstalian02 at 1:54 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 jus be yourself and speak your mind dont be scared to put ur input into a conversation people will respect what u have to say -- Posted by barnabas at 1:55 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 a lot of college classes are lecture style and the majority of the class stays silent. You dont really need to be worried about that. Speak when you feel comfortable and try not to be awkward. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 9:12 pm on Aug. 31, 2008 Yea, just don't act stupid in class *class clown stuff*. It's okay to say hi to classmates and make sure you talk to your teacher. From the text, it sounds like you are trying to play it safe and this is good but don't exclude yourself completely from everyone. If you are shy then you are shy. You'll be alright. To be honest, everyone is weird because everyone is different. If you don't have  a problem with people being different then you're good.
