Thinking about college had always been scary. Throughout junior year and the start of my senior year my classmates and friends were starting to apply and get accepted to colleges. I started to feel a ton of pressure and felt as though I was so far behind and was lost. I soon started to visit colleges and found that UW Green Bay was the one. I was expecting to come to college and have to spend lots of my time studying and working on homework 24/7. Literally, every one of my high school teachers told us it was a completely new level of work. Not to mention I was very afraid I was going to have a hard time meeting new people since I am on the quite side most times.
Once arriving at college, I got all settled in and started to meet more and more people. Looking back, I am very proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and pushing myself to talk to new people. It definitely helped that everyone else was looking to meet new friends as well. Schooling wise, getting my schoolwork done so far has been fairly easy for me. I have gotten all my work done on time and have got good grades on all of my exams so far. Outside of school, I joined an intramural team with some of the friends I have made, it surprised me how fun it actually is. I have had a great first month of college and I hope everyone else has too.
