Alright that's it, I've officially regressed back to the beginners board! (seriously though, newbies, nothing against it. It's a good place to start... I'm here myself restarting a bit)

So I'm picking up again after getting out of a serious LTR and being thrown back into a place of scarcity (I blame the lack of people nearby for this but I should be able to adjust anyway). I'm in a place of bad momentum after spending a month moping around and dreaming of facing off with everything and everyone like a caveman equivalent of kill bill (Don't we all just miss the days where we could just resolve a problem with a rock or a big stick sometimes???). And from the times that I did see an approach opportunity (once even a blatant approach invitation from a barmaid), I make some lame ass excuse not to. The few times I forced myself, the conversations felt forced and awkward half the time (the other times I was good... but a bit rusty and probably outdated somewhat). So it's clear that I'm dealing with approach anxiety again (this was problematic during my relationship too, how do you think I found myself in scarcity after we split? It also made attempts at threesomes disappointing to both of us).

With all this shit I gotta work on in mind, let me get to the question that i'm most curious about: As someone who is currently in a small, mostly isolated town, aside from the community college I'm going to (which is also somewhat small), what should or can I do to best prepare to move into a university (it has party reputation and population similar to that of fucking NYC)? I've got about 3 months and I want to go in ready to start off (and remain) well off in abundance (sexually and socially speaking). What should I expect? I've toured the campus already but still have no idea what to expect in terms of the social landscape (other than the fact that apparently bedroom eyes are not rare on campuses... for anyone... and I don't mean sleepy). I don't even know if I should start off with a traditional communal dorm room or a dorm room that looks more like an apartment and gives my roommate and I our own bedrooms as well as bathrooms.

First tip go to a bigger town for the weekend and day game, night game, night street game in a place with no ties to you. Aim to be in tough situations where the only real risk is your ego starts protesting.

The more situations and approaches you use to stretch you out the easier a new college campus will be. Shit will feel like the minor leagues.

1. Hector's awesome series on college

2. also Goodlooking losers awesome series on college

3. Ask the school for a student leader or just anyone really. Maybe even consider DM'ing a student already there.

Just get to talking with a student or multiple students who are there and willing to chat with you.

Privacy is king. But don't break your wallet. If you can afford it go for the more apartment style oriented place.

Consider where dorms are on campus as well. Things like which is closer or further to walk to and what is nearby to them is important.

Also see if there are apartments nearby. Some schools make more money from housing than tuition so apartments can be cheaper and more private provided you can get around. Then with the downside of isolation if you don't take a proactive role in making friends at your school and getting in with a crowd and or meeting hella women cold approach.

Take it bit by bit man. I did a reread of my own older field report when I was higher momentum and state and was in shock to remember that was actually me. I was literally reading it like

" Why aren't I still doing that? Shits awesome."
" Where the fuck did that come from? What a move."
" I actually thought to say that infield? Nice."

But also I had moments reading them where I was like

"I didn't know any better then. wtf lol"
"No don't do that man. God no wonder it panned out like that."
"Can I delete this and act like it didn't happen. Like please..."

You'll surpass even where you were before if you put your mind to it and eventually soar above anything you imagine or can grasp.

Definitely felt the same way recently. Just gotta accept it currently and refuse to stay that way in the future.

Peace
