Get to know your classmates...

...because they will be a life line. My classmates and I have laughed, cursed, and been there for each other from the beginning. Tonight, one of them saved my orifice by volunteering to watch my sick baby for me tomorrow so I could complete my clinical lab in the morning. I have no family in the area, my back up sitter is sick, and I would have been SCREWED without her. I am so, so grateful.

Beyond this, we have shared study guides, taught and learned from each other, helped each other figure out what the fr!ck the professor actually said/meant, and countless other things. It's been amazing and it'll only get better as we go along and gear up for the nclex. Truly, I'm so glad to know these people!

This is so true. You become closer with these people faster than you have with anyone else in your life. They'll become your 'brothers' and 'sisters' before that first semester (4 months) is even over. This has been my experience, anyway.
