How College Has Changed My Life

College changed me. Ok, well maybe not college in the traditional sense but, the high school Ridley College certainly did. When I told my parents that I wanted to apply to Ridley College as supposed to continuing on the route that I was on and going to my local high school something changed for them. For the first time, at least to them, I was branching out and making decisions for myself. Up until that point I had always just sort of quietly done what was expected of me and never really branched out or stepped off of the beaten path into the unknown. Yet, coming out of elementary school I was fed up with being normal. I wanted to be extraordinary and, in order for that to happen I knew that I was going to have to change things up. I

So far, the college experience has made me a changed person. College changed me into a better person on many occasions. I have learned to be more responsible, when it comes down to getting work done. In college you must be responsible. I have also changed my attitude. Moving from high school to college is a big step; if you don’t change your ways for the better then you might not be successful in college. When you reach college then is the time that you become an adult.

College is a chance to be free and is a bridge between the real world and school. I’m an adult and expected to behave as such; I make my own choices where I have to decide what is important to me. I have an opportunity to learn how the world works, to explore the limitless possibilities and a chance to admire how vast knowledge can be. College will change my life in the way that I can develop life skills outside academics, to be fully

College changed my whole perspective of how I looked at life. I also figured out that not everyone was who I thought they were. Everyone learns this at different times and Welty found this out

My life changed dramatically when I hit my freshman year of college, and many things happened to me that I could never have foreseen. I have made horrible choices while in college, not just simple things that could be dealt with in a day or a week, rather it is going to affect me later in life. I was on the college

Before attending the University of Arizona, I felt a need to set a specific goal to achieve in ten years later. The collegiate journey was more different than I aspect. With far more about many options in careers, I had realized that broader goals could help me explore what actually interest me the most. Before I started college, I had chosen pre-physiology. However, I am majoring in biomedical engineering now and really enjoy taking engineering courses. Currently, I have broadened my horizons to consider both graduate and medical schools unlike before. Before, I never believed that one can change goals so rapidly. Now, college has changed me.

Until the very beginning of my junior year i had absolutely no clue what i wanted to do. I have decided that i want to go into the healthcare field. When i first joined HOSA ( Health Occupational Students of America) i knew i wanted to be some kind of RN (Registered Nurse), but i didn't know what field i wanted to specialize in. Now i'm close to the end of my junior year and i have decided that i either want to be a Trauma RN or a Pediatric RN.

College is a life changing experience for students. College is a new environment for most students and comes with lots of challenges. Things such as the increased difficulty of academic work and not being around the same social groups as a student was before college can make the transition very difficult. One of the best things a student can do to help with this transition is to live in a campus residence hall. Students should live in dorms because of the community that this creates. Students will gain many beneficial social interactions, will be able to better complete academic work, and will ease the adjustment to college life.

Living 18 Years I can confidently say I have learned a lot of things that transformed me into a person I am today. Whether I learned it in school, Sports teams, or at home, I will benefit from these experiences throughout my life. But the most experienced that transformed me would be Moving to the United States. It was hard at first adapting to new culture, language, and new friends. After the first few weeks I didn't want to do it no more, I wanted to move back to Egypt, but my mom was telling me to be patient.

My biggest transformation started happening my senior year. I was more motivated and strong minded. My mind was finally made up to pursue a career in Early Childhood & Education. I studied hard my entire senior year and made good grades. After my high school graduation a year later I enrolled in Ogeechee Technical

College dating has changed a lot since my parents went to school. Courtship and chivalry are dead, or extremely hard to find, and a majority of college students are involved in the ‘hookup culture.’ “A ‘hookup’ is a nonromantic encounter with a friend or acquaintance that involves an unspecified degree of sexual interaction,” (Carpenter and DeLamater 129).

If I am going to be honest, I would have to say that attending college has not changed life for me as much as I had originally expected it to. I thought that I might have to completely change how I go about my daily life once I started living on campus but I spend most of my time doing exactly what I did while in high

As an adult in college that unfortunately has not changed much but I put in a lot more effort in doing homework, paying attention in class, studying and taking my time on tests. I also do not procrastinate on papers or projects. It took me years, but after working in a dead-end office job, I have come to realize the importance of education and the value of a degree. My motivation shifted and my feelings for school have completely changed. I no longer dread coming to class and actually enjoy learning and participating. I have two daughters at home and I want to show them what a degree will do for their life, their future and also, their bank account.

The thought of going into college at such an early age both terrified me and excited me. To even to be considering going to college at sixteen seemed unreal. I never expected that I would be attending college at sixteen while all my other friends were going into their junior year of high school. On the one hand, I would finally be in classes with people who took education as seriously as I did. On the other hand, I was afraid I was too immature and didn't have enough life experience to contribute to the topics of conversation. The benefits of the program outweighed the
