I have personally noticed a big different between freshmen college students and upper classman.  Do you agree that most people change or act differently from these years?

I tend to notice a lot (but not all) freshmen in the dorms acting really immature and like...children sometimes.  Some run up and down the hall, yell, watch TV/listen to music all the time, party, have little responsiblity other than easy classes.

But do you think that friends your freshmen year are likely to be your friends all the way to your Junior year?

I know this girl who kinda has limited friends and her boyfriend...she tends to hang out with people at the MOMENT and forgets about people.  She recently moved in an apartment and I feel that she will likely lose contact with her friends.

Do you think that's likely?  Whats with the whole freshman mentatlity to act so immature at times?  Do you think it also has to do with whoever else is living in your dorm and those around you?

I think it is. I've been working in my college's cafeteria, as well as being a student there for the past 3 years, and you can definitely distinguish between the freshmen, sophomores and juniors. The freshmen still act like they're in high school.  
And the cafeteria's still the same - all the cheerleader girls sit together, all the football guys sit together, all the soccer, baseball, and basketball people sit together. The 'goth' looking kids sit together. The black students sit together, the Asians, Latino, European, and south American students all sit together. All the stereotypical 'cliques' still exist, just not as noticeable in attitude as it is in high school.

As my music instructor always says,"they're children with adult responsibilities."

Im a freshman but I kind of stray from the typical wild freshman stereotype. I seriously care about my grades for a number of reasons. Im not here to screw around.

In Jr. High and my freshman year I dressed very eccentrically. I mix of what you might call scene and "bubblegum goth." Think insanely bright colors and fifty bracelets and fishnets with short skirts, etc. I dressed a toned-down version of that style at the beginning of the year this year.

Lately, however, I've felt the need to "grow up." I want to be taken seriously. I want to look cute and friendly and approachable.
I also have a very odd personality, but I don't mind keeping that. But I don't know how to make friends. A lot of people tend to not like me because I just come off as.. weird.
So, basically, when I start school next year I want to be a friendly, fun, still-quirky-yet-not-scarily-so Junior.
...and I have no idea what I'm asking.
What should I do? What should I wear? How do I make friends and change without seeming fake after two years of how I use to be?
Help..........?

It's the whole idea of maturing. When we're freshman, no more parents, we get to do whatever and get away with it, so we basically behave like children because we can. By the time we're sophomores and juniors we've burned all that energy out and started to mature down a little.
