Rolling the Magic dice in the JSAC game room

Gary Nipple, ContributorWhen you enter Augusta University, it’s really a lot to take in, especially if you’re a freshman or transfer student. You move into the dorms, set up your class schedule and negotiate the piles of homework. Though you get past those things, there is still something that frightens you the most, the one thing that makes college so much to be feared: making friends. Sure, you come across of couple of people you know from high school, but really, they might not even talk to you ever again, maybe they’ve even changed since then. All these possibilities float in your head and you question if you can even make friends.
