Hi there everyone. Now i've done my application's for university, and I am just waiting for my replies. Now the unviersities I have applied to are a few hours away from my home. So I would be living there in their dorm housing. First year students have guarantee housing. Now I have a few concerns which worry me. Now the housing they have requires you to share a room with someone else. Now my concerns have to do with my personal belongings and of course myself. What I fear is that I will be made fun of. I feel i'll be made fun of because of my computer. It is a bit outdated (367mhz amd k-6, 10gb hard drive, 192 mb ram, cd drive, 64 mb video card, and windows xp). Like for my computer its all I have, which I treasure like it does the job right? Yea. But it will be a bit outdated compared to the other students. For my cell phone package, i'm currently on pay as you. For my tv, I have a inexpensive 20" television. My radio, it is a cassette stereo with a/v input jacks for a external cd player or mp3 which I plug in my cd player and my ipod. My ipod is a 512mb shuffle so I fear I may be made fun of because of that. My computer desk is a hand-me-down and is abit wierd looking cause it is a counter-top on 2 night table style shelfs.
I dont know what to do, cause i'm going to go for sure. But I don't have all the luxuries that other have. Yes I have a fuly paid off house with food always on the table. But the way things are right now money is abit tight and I can't afford to go waste money on things like a new computer every two years or buy a more expensive tv. Should I be worrying about these things? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
