My First Year Of College

Last year was my first year of college. Freshmen year as a transition for me from High School to College, I don’t think I did well in adjusting to college life. I’m regretting lots thing I could have done, but I didn 't. I wish I could be like other ordinary students live in the dorm, they have more opportunities to involve school’s activity, and more chances to get to know more people. As a freshman in college, I was scared about failing my classes so I tried my best to work on every assignment

continue my education or not. As a high school student I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to go to the University of Georgia, become a veterinarian, and then make my own practice one day. Things didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked for them to go but I think it has led me to be more confident in myself and have a healthier happier life. My first year of college was the biggest challenge I have ever experienced but I am glad that stuck with it. I am a first generation

Going into my first year of college, I knew that I would experience many new things, learn from these experiences, both good and bad, and ultimately grow as a person. The degree to which this has already occurred, however, is stupefying. I surely did not expect to grow and mature as much as I have in the past few months. Even though it is only the first semester of my college career, I feel as if I have lived here for years, time flowing at a dichotomously rapid yet mild pace. Fortunately thus far

Throughout high school and my first year of college, my only goal was to get a degree with minimal effort. My first year at SUNY Potsdam was dreadful at best. Not only was I miserable taking courses I didn’t enjoy, but my GPA suffered for it. The semester I took Calculus 1 was when everything turned around for me. Starting that semester my GPA stayed consistently above a 3.7. I was finally enjoying learning and doing well in college. It didn’t take much pushing from my professors to major in mathematics

As if my first semester of college wasn’t bad enough the second semester was even worse. One day I woke up to a string of events would shape my life forever in a way that I never saw coming. It was my first year of college, a dream come true to be out of my mom’s house and in the mix of over thirty-six thousand people. Unfortunately, I forgot in a school of such large numbers you are just a single person. This means you yourself aren’t exactly a priority or concern of a university of such large

Senior year in high school, I thought I had everything figured out. At the time, I was in a program called PSEO where I was able to go to college while I was in high school. Being a first-generation college student I didn’t know how serious this first year of college would affect the rest of my college career. I should have taken that first year seriously. I thought that I would graduate high school and attend a 4-year university and graduate to go to optometry school. As a planning type, I had everything

Imagine that you and your mom are on your way back from picking your little sister up from school; your first year of college starts the next day. Life is good, no worries, no pain. Sitting at a red light, you think of what is for dinner tonight while your sister talks to you about her day. Suddenly, you see a car coming way too fast from the lane perpendicular to you. Before you even have a chance to scream, you close your eyes as the car hits the side of your car. All you can think of is if your

My first college experience was at 18 years old, a young 18 I turned 18 in May and moved out of state to attend a small private college in Indiana in August that same year. Went I graduated college I thought I was prepared and had all the tools I would need to succeed in college. In high school I did everything (or so I though) I took advanced placement classes, I had a after school job, I was dedicated and serious about my classroom. My first week of classes, I felt great, I thought I’ve got this

First Year College 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

Upon entering the course I really didn’t know what to expect. This is my first year as a college student, so I was hoping for a smooth first semester. I planned out this semester thoroughly as well as for the following two years. I was skeptical about the course at the beginning, because a few of the individuals that I’ve met mentioned that either the assignments took up too much of their time or their professors wasn’t giving them the right amount of information to work with in the course.
