sherryillkLast year, I was sorely tempted to leave ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
nyuhousing and nyu for the month of July. So many incoming freshmen whose every concern seems to do with what sheets should they get, is moving in nice, are they going to get good closet space, how does their dorm look like.
And every time I see such an inquiring post (which have really started to double in number in the last few days), I can't help but want to scream at all of them that in less than a month, they'll all be intimately familiar with their dorm rooms and with check-in. But whenever I get that urge, I take a deep breath and I remind myself that I was once in their position too -- all wide eyed about the college experience, wanting to know what sort of place I'll be living for the next year, if I'm ready to do this because god only knew what to bring and what not to.
But then again, I was never as obtrusive to actually make a post asking all these questions. It was quite clear that it would be annoying (and yet some do it anyway) and really, I could wait if it meant not being ostracized and labeled as a newbie freshman onnyu. And really, it seemed as if was more organized in my year than it does this year. But maybe I just believe that simply because I'm not a part of nyu2010 (does that comm even exist? I assume so...).
For now, I'll just ignore all these posts that are getting no responses that are currently cluttering up my flist. Yay.
