My Story

       My name is James Campbell and I am from Westchester New York. When I first came to SUNY Potsdam I barely had money, I was over six hours away from home and without a car or anyone I knew. For the first few weeks I was desperate for friends but too stubborn and lazy to leave my dorm and make friends, so instead I would Skype friends from back home. Being depressed and alone in my small stuffy dorm room I decided to start taking advantage of the fact that no one knew who I was and I could start from a fresh start. so I did some homework and fished around for clubs and activities to network myself. I joined Army ROTC and MMA Club and went to on-campus college events. As awkward as it was trying to meet people i did not know in places i have never been and not knowing what to do or expect, it paid off in the end because i made some decent acquaintances that will soon to be close friends of mine. Also i only allowed right minded civil people into my lives because at this point in age I am conscious enough to know the friends you make around you will effect your future.
