Is anyone else having a hard time? I'd really appreciate some advice and/or words of encouragement, I'm trying, very hard, not to break down right now.

For you roommates, you should walk by and ask them what movie they're watching, and after they tell you, you might could say something like "I like that movie" and hopefully they'd ask if you wanted to watch, and go from there.

I'm sorry about your dad too, at least you're away from him now, right? :)

I'm guessing you're just entering college, and the first week is usually the hardest (it was for me anyways). I know you can do it, just someone telling me I could do it kinda got me though.  Feel free to PM if you want to talk.

I'm IMing him right now and he's trying to calm me down as best as he can. I just miss him so much, he should be here with me.

They asked if I saw the movie they're watching and I told them I have and they asked if I wanted to watch and I said I did. Then I offered them some chips and they declined and that was it, they're just sort of talking with each other as if I don't even exist.

Believe it or not, I'm afraid now that my Dad is gone. Even though he's mean and abusive, he's familiar and now that he's gone, I'm on a new campus around new people 300 miles away from home and I'm scared.

I'm a Sophomore, I just transferred and this campus is bigger than any other campus I've ever been on.

Well he may have been familiar, but it wasn't healthy, now's your chance to make things better for yourself.

I know the transition of it all will be hard, but I'm sure you can cope :)
If you need someone to talk to on campus, there's usually a counselor there that's there for these type of things, you can talk to them and maybe get some helpful advice from them as well

I'm sorry about your dad; my parents get like that sometimes too. I think you just have to go with the flow and not let it bother you.

I'm not very knowledgeable about the college experience in general, since I still have a year to go, but I'm sure that in a week or two you'll have the bus schedules and the campus down. :)

Good luck!

No, I think we're all Sophomores but they were here last year, I wasn't. I mentioned not knowing where I'm going and they didn't seem to react. My roommate doesn't know where the bus goes, either, but she knows the campus so it doesn't matter as much for her.

I don't have tomorrow off, I have class at 9:00am.

My bf used to go here but hasn't been here since January and can't remember which building is which. And he never had to take the bus so he can't help me out there either.

The guy at the front desk doesn't know anything and my roommate seems totally unconcerned.

I'm so frustrated.

well you can look at a map of the campus to kinda help you along, but i guess you've thought of that

aww don't worry, i'm sure you'll be fine :)
just leave for class earlier than you normally would so you can find it, and don't be afraid to ask where a building is

I don't know, a tech school? A NY school? No clue, really.

I have a map but I can't figure out where the bus stops. It names places that I haven't found on the map (yet). I'll just have to look closer tomorrow morning. My class isn't until 9:00 but I'm going to get up at 6:00 or 6:30, shower as fast as I can, look it over, and then catch the bus to school that leaves at 7:33. It'll be there in like 15 minutes which will leave me over an hour to walk around and figure things out. That way, I won't have to run and won't be out of breath and sweaty when I arrive. I'll have time to nap after my second class. Maybe even a little bit of time to nap before if I can figure things out before then.

Calming down a bit. Still uncomfortable with the roommate thing but I'm not as bad as I was when I made my OP.
