My College Experience

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 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

The overall college experience is in reality the transition and introduction to adulthood from youth. College itself is a challenge; However it also offers and open up door to yet many opportunities. The social atmosphere that 's compared to High School; the college experience is much different and a whole other ball game I should say. The norms that you are used to back at home aren 't the same in college especially if you are a minority and choose to attend a predominantly white institution. Attending college can have a profound impact in one’s life including social, mental, and psychological factors. Having a college or higher learning

After graduating high school, no one prepares you for college. Most kids when they are finished with high school don’t even fantasize about going back to school. I have always wanted to go to college ever since I was a young kid. I also had dreams of myself going to college, but in my dreams, everything was picture perfect. In reality, college has been very challenging for me. No one tells you about the adjustments and complications that you would have to face to become a successful college student.

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 knew college was going to change me in many ways. Yet, after my family and I restructured our collective and individual emotional reactivity over the three years that I was away at school, I believed my work in that department was done. I thought transiting into college was difficult, however, I found myself once again unprepared for the aftershock that rocked my family once I return from school. I left college a strong, independent, mature, and differentiated person, or at least I kind of did.

There is not a day that passes where i don't look forward to the experiences, and opportunities that going to college will bring me. I am immensely ambitious, and driven to better myself and make a respected profession out of my passion.

I will also be familiarizing myself with my future because of the college experience, I’ll be able to see what college is like and prepare myself for it. I’ll be able to know what college classrooms and labs are like and see what else colleges have. I will be able to see what the dormitories and dining halls are like, and also will be able to know how college professors teach and how college students learn.

College is a great opportunity that I am blessed to be going through today. I see it as an opportunity to grow as a person and set myself up for the future I want. The success I have in the future will be greatly affected by how I do in college.

College is something I look forward to. It is a time of meeting new people, pursuing opportunities, and helping the future you be prepared. College broadens your horizons and can open up your eyes to opportunities that you, with a degree, can pursue. College is the first time people are required to be independent, and think for yourself. The experiences you let yourself enjoy and participate prepare you for the transition into being a positive part of society.

Attending college for the first time is an important, rewarding decision that I made for a good reason. I learned a lot about myself that will help me in my future. Setting goals, having expectations, and reflecting why I am in college is incredible to think about.

I am most looking forward to taking new and exciting classes that broaden my view of the world. Of course, I also can’t wait to meet new people, and have the “freshmen experience”, but after being in high school these past four years, I can’t wait to crack the shell. Having to wake up at 6:30 A.M. every morning, and then take six classes back-to-back can be exhausting and suffocating. There is a constant schedule in which there are classes that nearly all high school students in the country take. Independence is limited and finding yourself can be hard. In college, I hope to be able to take classes that are only offered at Emory, or at least just a class that makes me think. This I pray will help me discover me and also the world around me.

I have seen that starting college holds many fears and challenges even throughout this exciting time. Starting college is kind of like starting a completely new high school, but on a much larger scale. Some fears I individually have about starting this exciting but petrifying expedition is mainly just being in a new place with tons of new people. I grew up and attended a little K-12 school in a little town where everyone knew everyone and who your parents were which wasn’t always a good thing. I also see countless challenges that I must face to be successful in my college journey. Such as learning how to submit assignments online, managing my time, and being prepared for a harder class load. As we develop into mature adults I consider that

At some point, someone has said that high school will be the best four years of their lives and college gets even better. So with that idea in people’s heads, they come up with their ideal image of the college. They start planning the perfect scenario of what college they will go to and what their roommate will be like. They often try to compare an unrealistic image and turn it into a realistic image, but they are unlike in many ways. Once students step onto the college campus, they will soon face what it is actually like to be in college.When people understand that college is not the perfect movie scene, then they will take advantage of expanding and furthering their education seriously. Going to college is a whole different experience and there is a lot more to it such as the rigorous classes and overwhelming school work, being more independent, and forming new bonds with others.

Hearing so many good things and bad things about college I didn’t know what to expect and look forward to. That change my junior year knowing different college come every year I didn’t really pay it any mind what college I wanted to go to until ODU, Virginia State University and Virginia Teach came. It was Virginia State first year of visiting out school and I knew I wanted to go there I start getting e excited for college that were talking about their experience at college and what to look for when we graduated if we decided to go to college. Eager to start a new chapter college sound like it could be a little nerve wrecking but I thought I could handle it.
