School is a topic I have never really cared for. Being at school has always been boring to
me. I will say being a college student
has been better than when I was in elementary, middle, and high school. I completely despise the idea of having to
sit in a chair and listen to lectures 5 days a week for 7 hours each day. Now that I’m in college I have 1-2 classes a
day Monday through Thursday. Being able
to choose the classes I want to take and for how long each day has been the
part I have liked the most out of the semester.
College isn’t perfect though. I have noticed that the individual work is tougher
in college instead of high school. For
example, English class. I’m not used to
writing so many essays consecutively. In
high school, we would write about 4 to 5 essays in an entire school year. Now we’re on our fourth essay and it’s not
even November. I like the challenge but I
can honestly say I didn’t prepare for it.
Another thing that I don’t really like is that I don’t get to see all
the friends I made back in high school.
Now that everyone’s on a different path, I only see a handful of my
friends because they go to one of the community colleges in Ventura County.
The thing that motivates me to graduate from college is
the future. I want to be able to say
that I made it at the end of all this. I
want to have a good career with a family of my own. I want to be able to take care of my parents
and grandma after everything they’ve done for me. If I can do all of those things then putting
up with school for all these years will be worth it.
I didn't expect college to be this way either so I completely agree with you on that. It's good that you are looking toward your future at the end of college.
ReplyDeleteCollege is never what you think it is and it will make you grow. Keeping on working hard and I will see you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe same experience is for me, it's not the same but we have to keep going. Hope you do great and achieve the future you want.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel about your friends from high school. Now that everyone is doing their own thing and working towards their own goals at different places it is not as easy to stay in contact with friends as it was in high school.
ReplyDeletePicking my classes and making my schedule was something I really liked about college too. I like your motivation. I too want to give back to my family when I'm done with school and in a stable job.
ReplyDeleteYes you do lose alot of friends after highschool but the ones that matter will make the effort. Don't let it bug you though just keep pushing foward an accomplish your goals.
ReplyDeleteHaving the ability to chose my classes and the days and hours I attend is definitely great.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it definitely is great to pick our own schedule. I am also not use to writing so many essays but I’m sure we will all do well if we put in a lot of effort.
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect college to be that way either. But in the end, you will know it's definately worth it.
