First week nerves...

Former Member

I start a Psychology degree in two weeks. I am nervous because I don't know anyone on this course, I am always pretty quiet when meeting new people, how should I break the ice? (I am hoping that sitting in the pub will be enough to make friends with all the scary new people I will meet?)

Freshers Week... what is the best pulling technique I should adopt? My plan is: Drinking myself unconscious and hoping a pretty new student will take me to the halls to have her way with me. Anything better? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif"&gt;

Thats quite a good eay, im like that, find it hard to break the ice, but as im quite a clown i sort of get liked by everyone in the first few weeks

oooh where are you going to do this degree? that's what i want to do, only i want to do it at cardiff but they wouldnt let me in with the grades i got, so im going back to do some retakes and an AS in psychology hopefully. so ill be off next year instead... gives me chance to earn a bit of money beforehand at least <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

just try and be a bit outgoing and friendly, talk to people, ask what courses theyre doing, what a levels they did, where they come from, stuff about the uni and the places you're living, the work maybe if theyre on the same course, that kinda thing <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

The first week of uni is absolutely brilliant- dont worry about anything- go out loads- go and talk to people coz they're probably too shy or nervous to go and talk to you. Join everything you can, and as a golden rule, don't sleep all day coz there's lots of stuff happening (dont be daunted by your hangover - most of the students in the country will have one too, so go out and do stuff! Yaay!

Thanks mate. I'm going over to Lancaster Uni on Friday week. I hope i can get over my innate shyness to meet some people and pull! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt; I intend to join the Alternative Music Soc and the French Soc (my degree) Should be the best 4 yrs of my life!

The degree has started pretty well, I'm at Central Lancashire and my psychology course is wall-to-wall women <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">! Honestly, it must be at least a 5:1 ratio, you have to love it <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">! I can't wait for summer and skimpy tops, I'll never be away <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">! Pulled on Fresher's week too, and I'm still meeting loads of interessting new people every lecture... it certainly beats working for a living!
