The College Life by Ryan Garrison

Coming into college i had very high expectations for myself. if you remember you first day of high school you can relate to this. you are on your own, for the most part you do not have too many friends at the moment. you walk into class not know who to sit next to or if they will even want to talk to you. you have to take the chance. you came to college prettty much starting over. people don’t know you or your past so they can not judge you on that. if you came to college and you live on your own this is most likely your first time away from your parents for more than a week. do you go crazy? you cant. you have to buckle down and tell yourself that you have priorities. you are becoming more independent and this is why the first semester of your college career is the hardest. you dont know what to do with so much time on your hands and then its gone like that. you dont do your homework and all you want to do is drink, stay up late, or hang out with your friends. you have to put things into perspective and become the person you now you can be. crack down and don’t mes things up because this could be your only chance.

    I thought this was an interesting topic to write about. Being a first-semester freshman has it’s pro’s and con’s. Some pro’s could be finally having that independence you longed for and making decisions for yourself. Some con’s could be the dreaded amount of work of college courses and even the “freshman 15″. Being on your own can be very exciting, but nerving at the same time. You want to have fun, be social, and live your life the way you want, but you want to keep up with your school work and maintain good grades. It all comes down to time management and balancing your schooling with your social life.
