Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you

Everyone is really nice here.  And dorky and funny and smart.  And a lot of people talk too much, I think to make up for feeling socially awkward/inadequate, but it's okay because everyone says really fascinating things.  My room is bigger than I thought it would be and the orange wall isn't totally horrid and making friends is weird but I think I'm managing alright.

It's really bizarre for me to be surrounded by people who are so (at least seemingly) confident in who they are even though anywhere else they'd be considered bizarre.  I mean, clearly I fit into that category too.  But it's just fascinating.  I've realized that I learn more about people by just listening to them but that's really hard here, because everyone is like me and was the shy kid in the back of the classroom in high school.  I have to keep reminding myself to talk.  Which is something that I never tried to do in high school, because I never felt like high school was worth my time.  But it got me here, so that's something, I guess.

Tomorrow I'm meeting with my academic adviser and signing up for my classes and I'm kind of afraid that once classes start I'm going to start to hate college.  Also I am so not used to having a fan and it's driving me crazy.  Its name is Blizzard.
