All the challenges of college life how do people survive? The expenses of books, dorms, and tuition. What is one to do? Plus the social anxiety comes to play when you don't know anyone. But how can you become the same cool kid in high school in college?

I was never the "cool kid" i n high school nor did I want to be. When I got to college i had many friends because there were more people who had the same interests as I did. I loved being in college and miss it. To help with finances I worked part time, and I studied in groups from class, became a part of organizations.

First and for most, you have to consider what big of a step you just took, 75% of all American will not even consider applying for college, that itself says alot about a person. . . . So how do you survive, you ask. . . . TIME MANAGEMENT & the key word STUDY! The costs is not even a factor that should be considered. .. with Financial Aid & MILLIONS of dollars in scholarships, there should be no excuse why a person can not fund their education. Social anxiety, that' just a rhetorical way of saying that your anti-social. Do what makes you happy and join all kinds opf clubs because many universities have plenty of ways for you to make friends, all you haqve to do is want to have friends. But once again, don't forget to study. . . we all hate books and notes, but iuf you want to excel, you have to study. How do you become the "COOL" kid. . .get invovled, when people see that you apply yourself in whatever it is that you do, there is no reason why you won't have friends, and there are no such things as nerds. .. Oh yea, once again, it's NOT high school. You have to do it for yourself before you try to do anything else. . . .I hope that this helps.
