    So I've just started college and I'm about four hours away from home.

    My friend invited me to a LGBTQ meet and greet tomorrow evening on campus, and I accepted. He invited me totally unprompted, which kind of makes me happy because I kinda dig my obviousness. Haha.

    But yeah. I'm going to be incredibly nervous, but also excited. :grin:

    Great :slight_smile: I hope you'll have a nice time. It's a good occasion to make friends and start a social life on your campus.
    Have fun !

    That's awesome! I'm really glad that you 'kinda dig your obviousness.' A lot of people wouldn't be happy to be invited. I'm glad you are - that's the right attitude to take!

    :grin: Joining my universities GLBT group was one of the best things I did! I made some TRULY valuable friends and became more confident in my sexuality then I ever thought possible.

    University is that time where you finally feel yourself being defined as a person. And it all starts with joining a club here, (going to a club there) *cough*, and getting involved with people who love you for who you are.

    Thanks for all the support guys!

    I went and I was infinitely more relaxed than I had anticipated. It was pretty low key - just a mingle session followed by a few club presentations. I met a few people and befriended them on Facebook, so that is pretty exciting!

    So now I'm out to, what, 50 people at college? haha
