Kids You’ll Meet in Your Freshman Dorm: The Girl Who Has Never Done Anything For Herself
College, for many people, will be their first experience living on their own. And while there will be a natural adjustment for everyone, there will be at least one girl on your freshman hall who has a particularly rough time. You see, she's never done anything on her own. I'm not even talking about real-life stuff like paying bills or managing a budget. I'm talking about things like remembering to get mail, or working a coffee maker.
Laundry, a pain in the ass for everyone, proves genuinely vexing for her. "Wait, I'm supposed to put soap in? Then what's the machine for?" (Note: This girl is different than your average dude who just doesn't care to know how to do laundry. You'll know him because he'll be the guy who thinks that simply drying his clothes with a Bounce Sheet prior to baseball practice is just as good as cleaning them).
She will also lose at least 7 electronic devices over the course of first semester. A drunk night will claim her digital camera. A stray margarita spill (oh...that's what a blender's for!) will take out her laptop. You'll hear her say, "My stupid Mom wont get me a new cell phone because she says I need to make better choices, but it's not like I chose to drop it down the toilet!"
But take heart, while her out-of-touch attitude may seem initially off-putting, keep in mind adjusting to college life is tough on everyone. Whether its missing the comforts of home, pining for your high school girl or boyfriend (who you'll break up with by Columbus day), or adjuting to a college workload there's always something that will challenge an incoming student. For some it's just that the "something" in question, is, well, everything.
