I Learned In College

The book The Prince of Los Cocuyos can relate to my transition into college. The first time Richard Blanco came to America and felt out of place. College is all about experinces and getting to know yourself and learning who you really are. It is hard leaving high school and having to transition to college. Being used to teachers reminding you about assingments to now going online and having to remind yourself. As I begin to start my college experience I thought college would be easier no one telling you what you can and cant do, but its really not easier it might honestly be harder. Having to do so many assignments all at once. I feel like college is all about self motivation and being able to push yourself to work hard. Which I actually am

College is a place many things can happen. Some people say that college is a place where you find who you are and that it is also where you get to experience the real world and you get to meet new people and become an adult. On the other hand, people say college is a stressed filled place where students get four hours of sleep a night and you become in debt with college fees. And then there’s the few people that say it’s all about partying and just having fun. What is true about college is that it’s a place where students continue their education for hopefully a future career and you meet new people and experience new things too.

I am now into my first semester in college and I must say college is not what many people expect. College is not that exciting. I expected having fun, hanging out with my friends, and going to parties on campus. Wrong! Within my first semester here we rarely do anything it is all about school work which is what I have not realized until now. In college you have to take everything thing you do serious

Willing to meet new people throughout the community allows business related activities to reconnect or even communicating with a class full of college students can help your education tremendously. Having confidence in yourself to allow the next chapter to open for adulthood, such as hangout with friends and creating healthy relationships. Many people have trouble with friendships because trust is a huge request. We allow ourselves to focus way to far ahead in the friendship that we question the separation that happens alone the way.

Just when time seems to start slowing down, it proves just how much faster it can go. College can be a happy, scary, thrilling place. It all depends on how people make it; college will treat someone the way they treat college. Forget to turn papers in on time? Life in college becomes a little more stressful, although staying on top of things is not hard when the school is a fun place to be. When people speak of school, they make it sound horrible and a pain. However, school does not have to be a weight on the shoulders for anyone. Somewhere at sometime it was said that college was supposed to be the prime time of life. There is a freedom that people finally have when they get to college, and legally

Moving schools all of the time made it hard for me to make friends and be social with my peers. After moving to Ohio I learned how to be myself, and I learned how to make friends who had the same interests. On the first day of school in fifth grade a pretty blonde girl sat behind me. I was curious as to who she was because I had never seen her before; I turned around and introduced myself. From that little interaction we became best friends and are still pretty good friends to this day. Living in a small town has taught me how to better interact with people and making new friends. I know that when I go off on my own to college that I will have no problem with this. Meeting new people and forming relationships will come naturally to me all because I have had the experience of living in a small town where you have a relationship with everybody you know.

Going to college allows for many opportunities to open up in life. Society is changing at a very rapid rate. College is a very difficult time for nearly everyone, as Charles Murray who published an article on should the Obama Generation Drop out also states that “A large majority of young people do not have the intellectual ability to do genuine college-level work” (95). Attending college is not for everyone, but It can teach you to learn how to become independent, develop discipline, evolve new life skills, and learn how to balance a social life versus student life. The experiences you obtain and gain from attending college can lead you to learn how to live your life within the college environment in a way that creates harmony with who you are. It is a time of trial and error until you find what works for you. Eventually harmony is found by choosing a major that coincides in a positive way with the person you are. Once this is found, you will be able to establish a system of studying and learning that works for how your mind works. It is natural that your life will be in disharmony when the circumstances in your life change dramatically, such as when you go to college, but your life should eventually return to being less stressful. During your college journey, you will make many friends. Many friendships that you make in college

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.

In high school there are many cliques that form. The rich students bond together in the preppy clique. There are also cliques for those that are involved in sports. Cliques form in a wide variety and every student is in some way or another involved in at least one. College also has cliques that are very similar. As soon as you “warm up” to the college life, you will find yourself involved in one and there’s nothing wrong with that. It will help you meet new people and ease the transition from high school to college. These cliques help the school year pass quicker and make it more memorable when you are doing things with friends as compared to being alone the whole year.

In high school people usually fall into "cliques" or certain groups of people they hang around with. College and high school are similar; an example is that if someone plays football tend to spend more time with each other. They usually talk with one another or share a bond which no one else usually has. In high school people tend to do the same thing, kids group up with either the jocks or other groups. People just make friends more easily if they have something in common.

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

Looking back through my life, i have realized my mother has taught me the most. The one who means the most to me, the one person that has been the absolute best she can be for me and our family, always. The strongest most wise human being i know has been in my life since day one, which i am forever grateful for. “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.” This quote is something my mom has always lived by and taught her kids at a young age. We weren’t rich, didn’t have everything we needed at times but we always had our family and love that went all around, which was enough for us.
