Well, at my college orientation, we had a team - building activity near a lake. I'm not a very outdoorsy person and was scared of water. They made us do a raft - building challenge that involved getting into the water. I was so nervous the whole time, fearing I'd fall in. And to make it worse, my team members were a bit pushy about it. They thought I was being a spoilsport but I was really just terrified.

I had a horror experience during finals week. The library was so crowded that I couldn't find a seat. I ended up sitting on the floor in a corner. But then some people were so noisy, talking and laughing, that I couldn't concentrate at all. It was really frustrating as I had so much to study.

There is a story where a student was studying late in the library. As he was leaving, he took a wrong turn and ended up in a restricted area. The lights were flickering, and he heard footsteps approaching. He hid behind a bookshelf. Through the dim light, he saw a figure in a long, old - fashioned coat. The figure seemed to be searching for something. He held his breath until the figure disappeared, and then he quickly found his way out of the library.
