Don't Be Nervous

The first week of school is always scary, even if you are a senior. But the University of Arkansas Fort Smith, UAFS, is a very welcoming school. I love UAFS, it is a great school. Students here are very nice and love to meet all of the new students. I am a senior and I still get nervous for the first day of class. It is normal for students to be nervous when they are meeting new people and going places they have never been before. If you want to make new friends, UAFS offers many different events that give you the opportunity to meet other students. There are so many events and activities that are offered here on campus such as basketball games, baseball games, volleyball games, the block party, and many other events. If you go to any of these events, you will meet several new people and make friends. If you are shy, you should pair up with an American student or another international student who feels comfortable communicating with other people. I understand that it is very hard to make new friends, especially if you are an international student. But, you should always remember that the American students are just as nervous about meeting you as you are about meeting them.
