Game Changer

Coming into college was a huge game changer, I find assignments here more challenging and critical thinking, I’m not use to a change of this magnitude. I find it’s easy to lose focus on what’s important and realize rather quickly the level of attention need was going to be different than high school. My first week of college was overwhelming I felt like I was on a bullet train holding on for dear life! The level of thinking here is extremely fast pace and I learned that I’ll be better suited for class if my preparation is in order. My first month here I was worried about two classes because I struggle with reading. My professors have high standards,  which is not a bad thing it motivates me to push myself to my full potential.  At first it was difficult keeping up but with talking to my professors and studying more, it's not that bad. To make sure I'm prepare for class I look over my notes every time I can, making sure I understand the material if I have a problem with something I'll just contact them. I hope my professors realize that I am hard-working and I don’t give up easily, I’m going to do my best to successfully pass this course holding myself up to their standards.

One thing I notice about being in college it’s not as bad as people say, you just have to apply yourself and stay focused on what’s important. For instants if you know there’s a quiz on Wednesday you might not want to just glance over your notes that night, you should study as often as possible home or anywhere. I came here for a reason, no one forced me to come so there’s no reason I should be lacking in my classes. So far all learn if I want to be successful, I have to put in the time- Just recently I had to take my first ever exam and I Wasn’t quite prepared I noticed five to ten minutes into the exam Some of my classmates were already done. On what I felt was just handed to me, I knew the material but I felt I could have been more prepared. So it wasn’t such as a bad experience, now I know how to prepare for my next one. I learned don’t follow what others are doing stay true to yourself, and stay focused everyone has there own reasons why there here, but it’s up to me to remember why I’m here.  

Overall I really enjoy college it’s a pain sometimes but I feel this is a great experience, for me I’m learning new things each day. The people here are amazing, I’ve made a couple of friends already, also there a lot of smart and beautiful girls here that I would like to get to know. This is a place that I like I’m moving forward in life with and making a name for myself in the world. The only thing I have to do now is stay focused on the task at hand and the rest will fall into place.
