First days at UW Oshkosh

So these past couple days have been pretty dull with a hint of interesting. Over the past 2 days I have met quite a few people, very few of which I remember their names. I've also walked more than 5 miles just around campus. It's not too hard when a trip to my car is 0.8 miles... ONE WAY! Yes, this sucks and here is a graphic showing the distance...

This isn't the worst thing in the world but my legs sure hurt after making this trek 3 times.

On my first day, I didn't know anybody at all and it was kind of hard to start conversations with random people that I have never seen in my life. I am not the type of person to just walk up to people and greet them, which makes this process slightly harder. My roommate Andres has been very helpful so far and helped me meet some people I may have never talked to otherwise.

On my last trip from my car on my first day I ended up quickly chatting to this girl that followed me to Scott hall about how we got the crappiest parking. She was attractive and I got the feeling this wouldn't be the last time I saw her. Well on Monday my suspicions were confirmed! She ended up walking into my room looking for Andres. I got to find out that she was a friend of Andres. That was a weird coincidence for sure.

Day 2 at UWO went a bit better than the day prior. I met a guy named Chase and he seems pretty cool. I'm sure I will end up talking to him more in the future. The not so good part of this day was the total cost of my textbooks coming out to be $350. The German book was the worst at around $220!!! Oh well, the other 2 were only $130 together. Although I am in the midst of day 2 I'm not sure any other interesting things will come out of today.


Funny experience:

My first night was rather confusing. I was back in my dorm after a long day walking around and my roommate was off by his girlfriend. At around 12:45 my roommate returned and I crashed on the bed without putting the sheets on. 3 AM rolls by and there was a knock at the door. A few drunk girls along with a drunk guy came by asking for a sharpie, so Andres gave them a sharpie and they started drawing on this guys face. Weirdest experience so far, but I guess that's UW Oshkosh for you!


Worst experience:

I also realized that I forgot a few key items when it comes to a dorm. Pillows, flip flops, and my phone charger, which I ended up purchasing the next day.



My next post will probably be Saturday or Sunday depending on how things go here.

Peace out and thanks for reading!
