But I guess it builds character? I was pretty rebellious as a teen so I would have been an absolute terror if we'd moved around more. Karin-I consider myself outgoing but I made very few friends in college. Not sure why that is. Commuter colleges have a different dynamic. Thanks so much for the detailed comments! I'm glad we could all take a trip down memory lane together. I went ahead and picked a winner out of a hat (hope that's OK, HelenKay) and the signed copy of DANGEROUS TO TOUCH goes to... Phyl!

I hated it, would just start to make friends and we would move again. I also hated being the new girl in a class. After that we never moved again and I stayed in the same school and graduated from it! When I was growing up we moved 14 times till I hit the 5th grade.

I still live at home with my parents since we get along very well and it's convenient for me while I'm still in grad school. The closest I've ever come to being the new kid was going to college and not knowing anybody. Of course, it was something I was very greatful for since my pre-college school experiences were not good when it came to the social aspect of things. Not being an outgoing persion, it took me a while to meet the people at my college, but the fact that it was (and still is) small (only 1200 traditional undergraduates) made it somewhat easier. Not only that, but my college has a great program for incoming freshman so they can get to know other incoming freshman.

I was the new kid on the block many times. A few times it was a new school within the same school district so I did know some kids but then it was a group of us new to the school. :) Yes… moved around a lot.

It's that kind of experience. Stephanie S.-Ooh, I want to hear about the shocking roommate incident! The only roommate I've ever had is my hubby. Lucie Simone-14 schools! I can't imagine being uprooted so many times. We moved twice when I was a kid, and the second time was actually more difficult for me as far as making friends. I just didn't want to start over again.

Not because I was an army brat or because I was a rebel and kept getting kicked out. No, nothing as glamorous as that. I just had a set of parents who couldn't seem to settle down in one place. It wasn't until I moved to Los Angeles after college that I finally found myself living consistiently in the same spot. But, all that moving and all those new schools made me who I am today, so I have no regrets. But I sure will do things differently when I have kids. I'm just sayin'.

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:15:03 +0000 http://helenkaydimon.com/blog/?p=1082#comment-35183 College was my first change of towns. I lived in the same town and in the same 50-foot radius until then. College wasn't that much of a shock for me (although, I do have one roommate incident that I will always be a little shocked about). I had worked my entire life to get into this one college. So, I was excited to go and be apart of that environment. Now, I live back in the same town I grow up in for completely different reasons than before college. College was my first change of towns.

My parents moved to the house I grew up in right before I started kindergarten so you would think that I started out the same as everyone else but since my parents signed me up after the official kindergarten sign up I couldn't go to school on the first day but had to come in on the second day of school as the new kid.
