Lil linked me to your trip report. Sea of corn is accurate, although we don't corn quite as well as Iowans. I really don't like it here much, but UNL has given me some important scholarships. I applied to other schools, but nowhere I can really afford--my main financial goal right now is to avoid as much debt as possible. If I get into Raikes, they'll match my regents scholarship, and I shouldn't have much debt at all...probably. I don't know.

How hard is it to find people outside of your classes in college? I have no idea what it'll be like.

God, I hate that type of person. That is the type of person I want to avoid, and you're totally right to call him reddit personified. There's plenty of people like that in high school, and they're difficult to be around.

I didn't really mean anything specific, you just seemed like you had things together, so I wasn't sure if you were still in college or what.

Well, yours is a special case, in terms of finding alright people outside of your classes in college, since they'll all be in the same program. Joining clubs/programs at my university helped me diversify a bit - Smash Club, Amnesty International, etc. etc. Try to give that a shot.

Oh! Well thanks, I consider that a compliment. Truthfully though I am just spiraling through the air and wondering if I'll not splatter on the ground soon or land on my feet. It's easier to give advice than it is to use it, is what I'm saying.

I'm sure I'll make friends somehow, I'm usually pretty charismatic!

I'm starting to feel like that feeling of just trying to not crash and burn is a universal for all ages.
