So, as I've already posted, I'm going to Centre College this fall, probably to major in English. I've gone to school with many of the same people since elementary school and it's going to be a completely new experience for me. In fact, most incoming students will be facing this same problem. I didn't really know how to go about preparing for the complete shock of knowing absolutely no one until I got an idea from another incoming student.
My friend, Michael Gaddis, another incoming student, received a friend request from a girl named Coral Davenport. He told me that she added everyone on Facebook who was in the Centre '14 network. I thought this was an excellent idea and did the same, sending each friend request with a message explaining that I'm going to Centre with them next year. I also looked at their profile and, if I saw anything we had in common, I tried to mention it in the message. As a result I've met a few people I'm sure I will be befriending in person at Centre this fall. I'd strongly recommend anyone reading this to add at least the people in their incoming class who seem somewhat interesting. It has had a positive result for me so far.
4/7
