Do you hate school orientation? I do. I hate it because, you know, it's school. But there's other things that bother me about it, too. Due to social anxiety, I don't like being around many people. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to socialize with another student in front of my mom, too.(Yeah, yeah, go ahead and laugh.) It feels awkward being at school orientation with my mom because I feel like I'm the only one there with a parent...it's almost embarrassing...ugh.

I can't wait to get it over with; it's stressful. My school orientation is August 19-20 from 11 A.M. to 6 P.M. My mom says that we'll go when it's not busy.

I just want to start school and do well this year. I've almost always gotten mediocre grades and I really need to shape up. I wish my stupid social anxiety would just disappear into thin air, too.

Anyway, do you hate school orientation?

The only orientation I had to go to was for high school and I don't even remember it. I totally skipped college orientation since I scoped out where all my classes were beforehand.

If you mean college incoming student orientation, yeah, I ****ing loathe it. I've had to suffer through it twice now; once when I was a freshman and again when I transferred schools. I hate it because it's all so pointless and they don't tell you anything that you don't already know. To make things worse it always goes on for way too long (usually something like three days) during which you have to wake up at 8 am to go to llike 10 hour's worth of timewaste meetings to say nothing of the loooooong periods of time you have to spend waiting around doing nothing because the damn college can't get their **** started on time.

I'm just glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. Well...at least not until I go to grad school. Ugh.

Eh, when I was a freshman I had what your having, not wanting to socialize with others. But as the day wore on, I felt more comfortable. It'll be alright :) Today though, as a Sophomore, I got to participate in helping with the Freshman Orientation. It's extremely nice to be on the otherside of the spectrum :P

You're lucky...I wish I didn't have to go to orientation. My mom wants my picture taken. So I have to go. The picture takings are the least of my worries obviously.

Well for me, orientation is getting the school picture taken and the supply list or something and that's about it.

There isn't orientation in my school, nor a school photo (only individual ones). So I'm afraid I can't relate.

yea i always got butteflies at orientations... im not the most social person ever, but college orientation was awesome, i guess because its new and you want to meet new people, unlike middle and high school where its the same people and you feel embarassed to show your parents because of what they will think

Never mind. My mom and I would just go to a department store and buy things I'd need.

Freshman orientation for high school wasn't too bad. It was pretty laidback. Freshman orientation for college was a lot longer, but it was very informative. It was kind of exciting, actually...boring at times, yes, but it got me kind of excited.

School's not bad. You get to socialize with other kids and learn.
