Definitely socialize and talk to people. You aren't weak, and there's nothing wrong with reaching out when you need someone to talk to / you feel like you're drowning. There are a great number of resources available to you in the event that all this becomes too much and you need help. I know you don't exactly have ways to cook in the dorms, but you can chose wisely and eat healthy while on campus. Freshman tend to go overboard with the dietary freedom and gain unhealthy weight. \* New \* Take CARE of yourselves! Do this in all regards! You are adults now and no one is taking care of you for you. Tread water around here and then when you've got a feel for the pool, go swimming where you don't have the floor for safety. get used to the water and head over to where you can barely touch while still standing safe. Continuing the swimming analogy: Dip your toes in, walk into the 3ft. Take the first semester, the first year even, to adjust, figure out what is going to be asked of you, and dip your feet in. Some of you are probably anticipating that to be trivial, while others of you are freaking out. Right now, the biggest changes are likely to be the added responsibilities of living by yourself and treating your roomie with respect, handling the new class load and class responsibility, and learning. You will have 4 years to get into all of that. Whether that is resume building, partying, finding really cool clubs, being president of something, learning to slackline, getting swole, etc. You have 4 years here to do the things that interest you. First and foremost: Listen, try some things that sound fun, but don't overload yourself. I too have some advice, and while it will not fit all of you, and some will do fine completely ignoring what I put forth, the advice contained within is not only my own, but aggregate of many of my colleagues in the Class of 2018. 
Classes start in a week, and many of you are nervous. This advice is completely unsolicited, but following a post of what I believe to be bad advice today, I would like to offer my own advice. u/Bootsontheground190 (Parking and Transportation Services) u/DylanSalleeCUBoulder (Developer for Office of Information Technology) u/brianckeegan (Information Science Professor) u/ProfOstro (Faculty with the Program of Writing and Rhetoric) u/stauffeg (PR for Office of Information Technology) Simply contact the mods! Verified CU Staff Other "Official" flair options are also available for people who can verify their status as faculty // staff at CU. Use it to indicate your major, degree (BA, BFA, BS, MA, etc.), and (anticipated) graduation year using a format like so: Accounting (BS) - '07. Your flair is text that appears next to your name every time you post in this subreddit and can be edited by clicking "edit" next to your name above. You can choose your own flair for this subreddit.
It's a good place to start if you're new to CU and/or to the Boulder-area. The wiki FAQ has lots of useful information. This is an unofficial place for people to discuss the University of Colorado Boulder, ask questions about the university, meet other Buffalo, stay informed about relevant campus issues, and post anything you think Buffs might appreciate or need to know.
