My First Day Of 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

My first day of college at Thomas Nelson Community College I was so nervous, being in a new school where I don’t know anybody was kind of frightening. I thought I would feel the same way about college as I did for high school. In high school, all my teachers prepared me the hard way to prepare for college and what to expect. My goal is to finish out 2 years at Thomas Nelson Community College and transfer to a four-year college to continue my goal in life to become a Registered Nurse (RN). When I arrived at Thomas Nelson I was very nervous because, so many thoughts went through my head to say as if what if I can’t handle it or what if I’m not smart enough. It was just a lot of pressure that I put on myself until I got a better understanding of everything because it’s a lot I needed to improve as in school. I was excited to be realizing a lifelong dream, but I was also scared.

Beginning college is much like any life altering change; at first can be frightening. Students doubt their ability to adjust, fit in with classmates, and balance responsibilities' in order to excel. As you see yourself succeeding and enjoying the very things that you were afraid of. Usually this proves to be liberating and empowering, that is how fears of failure and incompetence are quickly replaced with confidence and success.

Education is a very important aspect of life, it guides people into their desired careers and teaches people things they didn’t know before. Many people become nervous about starting a college career, but it’s always worth it in the end. There are so many advantages to furthering your education. Not many people regret going to college, but are rather very grateful they did. Therefore, college is a time to learn new things, experience different kinds of classes and meet new people. It’s basically a time of the unknown, these new students are nervous about the future and excited to start a new life path. It’s definitely a new process when first starting out, but after the first couple of semesters people end up getting used to the new kinds of

The shift from highschool to college, while pleasant and stimulating, can also be very challenging. It is a phase a student will either adapt to or struggle with. With many differences there are certain similarities as well, by which, one won't feel as if college is a whole new world. The more aware a person is to the changes, the more successful they might be in the long run, because College and high school are diverse.

People are bound to change whether they want to or not, what matters is if they accept the change for the better rather than the worse. As a high school student, I have learned to accept changes as just part of my life. I have experienced a lot of changes in my life from ninth grade to senior year of high school, from my physical strength, personality, involvement, and my ability to grow as a potential teacher one day. These changes have all been beneficial in the growth of me as a person, a person that will succeed in life.

In an article posted by Jessica Kane, there is a direct quote by Debra Lipson who stated “don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. Try new things. Remember everyone is in the same boat as you are and they’re just as nervous!” College is the place where a person goes to study about the major he or she desires. The knowledge received here equips the person so that they can dedicate the rest of their life to their preferred job field. Even though many hear that the college experience is cool because of the parties, games, and other fun activities, it is not an easy phase as it requires dedication and a lot of time to study and complete assignments so one can earn good grades. This is a beautiful experience that college offers and not everyone is fortunate to have such an experience. Therefore, one should take advantage and benefit from it.

Wow Ive came this Far to the first day of me becoming a grown up. It was pretty cool it was the first day of the rest of my ¨life¨ my grown up life. I had my outfit all set up on the chair by my bed, you could definitely say that i was prepared.

BEEP! BEEP! My alarm went off. i knew instantly what today was. it was none other than the first day of school the day i have been dreading since summer started. but today was not any first day this one was as scary as a beetle because it was the first day of highschool. i thought high school was the scariest thing ever because of all the movies and the television shows that i watched portrayed it as ten percent learning and ninety percent bullying. the only people in the shows and movies that got bullied were the nerds and i was a nerd. The stairs creaked as i went down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. then my mom stopped me and said “the breakfast at school is free so you're going to eat it” so then we got in the car and my mom drove me to the bus stop. i hated busses. it confused me that we were taking the bus when i knew that she could have taken us herself but we had to. The bus made its way to the stop and i got on and to my surprise there were no seats. i tried finding anyone i knew and i had no luck so i had to sit next to two other people when the seats are only able to hold two. When i thought the bus couldn’t get any more crowded we stop at a popular stop and more people get on. The bus would stop a few more times until we got to the high school. we were packed like sardines in that bus but then everyone got off. we got there pretty late. The doors were wide open and i could see it all it was a big school with big kids. My stomach rumbled and i wondered were

It all started when I woke up to my alarm at six twenty. I tried going back to sleep, but my alarm was louder than a police siren. I proceeded to do my morning routine, so I could go to school restored. After that, I dressed up and fixed up my book bag for the school day.

My first week of high school went much better than I anticipated. I definitely stressed myself out quite a bit more than I needed to, but it was actually fun. You could say it was pretty “chill” as the kids say. Everyone who has ever been in Chorus misses Mrs. Hartung since she moved to the elementary school. But other than that, everything else is similar to last year. It's scary that I’ll already be looking at fancy college-y things when I read this letter a second time.

The transition of high school into college can be a very difficult one, but it doesn’t have to be. My high school experience was a good one, outside of the classroom. I did make it through high school but I did not make it through knowing; I tried my best. I didn’t spend time on homework or studying and I learned almost nothing. Now I am in college and it’s a lot different but a lot more enjoyable. I go to Luna Community College and I am taking 5 classes, it was hard to get used to and balance. I am now better at managing my time and I don’t get overwhelmed. Understanding the differences between high school and college can help make an easier transition into a university or college.

It was the first day of grade 6! The day’s morning was really exciting and welcoming. But, as the day went on it wasn't. It maybe was the worst day of my life. I always hoped, that that day had never came or will never come again! The whole time I felt like going back home.

When I started Century College this year in the fall of 2015. I was so certain, I was going to just focus on school rather than work. When it was time to pick out courses I wasn’t sure, I knew I didn’t want to talk classes on Friday and Saturday. I then decided to enroll myself into all reading courses, so I joined the New Students and Success 1000.07 course that was conjoined with reading 900.07. I thought choosing this course would be easy and laid back. With the reading course, it made me think we were just going to read a whole bunch of books. For the New Student and Success course I wasn’t sure at all what the course would be about.

It was the second day of my brand new life at college. I nervously shuffled off a bus packed with people I made some short, uncomfortable conversation with, hiked up a hill that, with out knowing where the end was, felt like an eternity, and was promptly forced to trust these new classmates with my physical well-being. Being placed in this new situation with many unfamiliar faces leads one to resort to judgments of others in order to figure out where they belong and who to trust. Looking back, I realized I made judgements about others that have been proven wrong. I believe they have made the same mistaken judgements about me, and this has led me to identifying my unconscious biases and take actions against them in my conscious decisions and judgements.
