I don’t want to get too into this on this post, but long story short, we seemed to have a lot in common and ended up requesting each other as roommates. Ironically, one of the dressed up girls and her aunt sat with me and Dad at our picnic table. I think it was a little rainy during my Day One so thank goodness I didn’t wear anything too fancy. While some girls dressed to the nines, I’d recommend wearing something comfortable like I did. Still an awkward teenaged girl, I remember looking at people’s outfits, because I really had no idea what to wear that day. I’d say just try to relax and have a great day. If you feel a little nervous or shy, that’s totally natural. I saw a lot of moms with their sons, dads with their daughters and everyone lining up for coffee and snacks. Most of what I recall from that day is what happened while we were sitting on those yellow picnic tables. We got there early, ate breakfast on the Union Patio, and waited as so many others arrived. Day One was not just my orientation, but it was also only the second time I saw my new home. Since La Salle wasn’t my first, second, third, or even tenth choice of university, we only had one small tour before I committed (For the record, I didn’t hate La Salle, I just thought my heart was elsewhere). He was way more excited than I was I’m always the one to get so nervous that I can’t even think straight.
I don’t recall what time we had to be there, but I do know Dad and I got up real early to make our two hour trek to Philadelphia. By sharing my Day One experience, among others, I hope to ease some nerves and get you excited for the greatest years that lie ahead. It’s crazy to think that I’m no longer a timid freshman, and it’s even crazier to think that I only have one year left at La Salle, but it’s been a great run so far. I’m here to tell you a little bit of what to expect during your Day One based off the one I attended nearly three years ago.
If you don’t know by now, La Salle’s freshman orientation is called “Day One,” and it’s exactly that: one single day of touring the school, meeting new people, question asking, and basically just exploring the campus with your family. Now that you’ve graduated high school, and are officially a college freshman, it’s time to talk about transitioning from one stage to another. “How hard would I try just to hear everybody say, this is gonna be my greatest day.” – Bowling for Soup, Greatest Day
