My First Day Of College

The part of my first day of high school that made me the most nervous was my lunch period. I hadn’t made any connections with anyone, so I had no idea where I would sit. I walked into the cafeteria and it was a zoo. There were kids filling the tables and standing along the wall waiting for their lunch. It may have been a small school, but I felt like there were hundreds of high schoolers in there. I stood there completely lost in a sea of kids and I felt like panicking. I had no clue where to go. I seriously considered hiding in the bathroom to eat my lunch.

I got to school around 7:10 and immediately found some friends I knew. It was a lot less stressful with friends. I went to my newly decorated locker. To my surprise, I opened it straight up. I helped some of my friends get there’s open, and already felt like I got started on the right foot. My first class was Social Studies, with Mrs. Disken. She was really nice, and I liked Social Studies a little. We did the name game. Throughout that day

When I walked in the front doors for the first time I felt confident. I figured out where all my classes are and who all my teachers are. I even figured out what time to go to them. I was feeling good about my first day of school.

When I first came to college, I did not have a solid idea of what the experience

I’m finally a freshman!My first day at Southwest Early College Campus was great,I made two friends.I didn’t get to ride the bus for a whole week because they didn’t get my transportation situation fixed.My dad drove me to school.

The first day of school was full of mostly nerves and confusion, not knowing exactly what to expect and not even sure where more than half of your classes are located. There is a tad excitement throughout the day of realizing after all those years in school, you have finally made it into a good university. The atmosphere is different lots of adults walking around like they know what they’re doing and where they’re going. Though many students like myself weren’t even 18 yet, we were able to receive an early taste of what it is like to be treated as an adult.

By the end of the day I was familiar with the school already. I had met tons of new friends and teacher’s .The first day of school was nothing like I dreamed it would be. In the dream the school was a complete nightmare which made me scared to come. Feeling that no one would talk to me or I would be lost trying to get to get to every class in time. The day was totally different from that. I learned a lot from that

It was so much different than high school where I knew everyone and how to get everywhere. I had no idea where anything was on campus, and it took me six practice routes to feel comfortable knowing where I was going. The crowded hallways and stairways in all the buildings were difficult to get through on time. People were shoving each other out of the way like animals, likely because they were nervous as well about getting to class on time. I was so nervous to meet my teachers. I wondered if they were nice or mean. Unlucky for me, I did get one bad teacher that yelled at us, but I guess I ended up learning a lot in the end. Taking notes was extremely hard! I often felt really overwhelmed as if I was not going to get the right notes done in time. Note taking proved to be an art in all classes. I did get better with time, but it didn’t happen with a magic wand

I remember my first day of summer school at St. Paul like it was yesterday. It was warm day in July and I was telling my dad how nervous I was going to high school for the first time. He was telling me ill be fine and to not stress so much. I came in a little timid but as the day progressed, i met people and talked to teachers and soon I became confident in my new surroundings. This incident can be applied to my whole high school experience.

My first day truly started the moment I walked through those gaping, uninviting doors. Looking to the bright side, the building smelled fresh and clean, unlike that of middle school. Having gone to a tiny private school my entire life, transitioning to a comparably gargantuan public school was not exactly smooth. Each student had a different agenda; not the same classes with the same twenty or so kids each period. In all honesty, it was an incredibly intimidating experience.

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.

Everyone always says how everything changes in high school. You’re treated with more responsibility and more homework, just more of everything. There is a big transition from junior high to high school. The thought of entering high school for me was exciting and scary all at once. The fact that I’ll be with all of the big kids was pretty scary and being in high school and being a part of it was exciting.

Throughout my lifetime I have listened to people reflect back on their college experiences and explain how college is supposed to be “the best experience of your life.” The summer after my senior year I use to try and imagine what my first semester was going to be like based on what I had heard people talk about in the past. After my first semester at NC State I realized that I couldn’t fully understand what college was like until I experienced it for myself. My first couple of weeks at Ohio State was rough and really tested my strength (mental and physical). I faced challenges and obstacles that I had never heard about in those past college experience conversations. All of a sudden there was no one to get me out of

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.

The first day of school had been fun. I had some classes with the people I was familiar with. Even the morning classes didn’t sound so bad, since my best friends were in there.
