This is my first week living in a college dormitory, which is located within the boundaries of the college itself. I'm living with 3 roommates, all currently absent during the night between 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM.
We all are computer science freshmen, and the common thing we all have are:
Computers, glasses, near-sightness, games, and gender.
That's about it. The problems I'm about to face are these. They are questions, and they are linked to the questionable aspects of being a college student.
1. How should I get along with people if I don't know how to communicate in their language?
2. How should I learn to have a girlfriend?
3. And how should I learn to be independent of everything?
Reason:
Awaiting on an experienced college student's answers.

Reason:
Why should I start out by introducing the roommates? Some people think that the first step is to start out by talking to them, but I can't speak clearly. It's hard to come up with something that's good enough to chat. And we mostly have about 18 hours per day wasted on playing computer games and chatting on MSNs.
As for girlfriends, it's a wonder to have 11 females in our courses. (By females, I'm referring to 18+ year old girls, and usually it's about 7 or 8 of them.) It's not like the American society; everything goes the opposite way around.
(If you use the usual way of attracting someone, it won't work here. 100% never. Instead, you get shunned upon.)
And, as for my mentality, I feel like I'm still a 12-year-old kid. Never have I thought of myself as a frog in a well, until now. I need some counseling, but over here, the counselors can't understand me and my spoken word.
(If you think of yourself living in an unfamiliar country, you'll know what I'm talking about.)
