Coming to UWGB was not something I honestly had in mind. During my junior year I was told by my counselor that I had all the credits that I needed to graduate so I thought why not just graduate early. As a result then came the hard decision where I had to decide where to go for a college/university. However, since I already knew what I wanted to major in, I just had to look for the right college/university to go to. Although my family didn’t want me to be far from home, I decided to go to UWGB. As it’s always for starters going to a university scared me and I was somewhat afraid of what the professors, facilities, classes, social life and the campus itself was going to be like.
Nonetheless, being close to school starting I had the opportunity to join a 2 week program called GPS where they cover everything you might need help with. Because I had the opportunity to participate in this program, I was no longer as scared as I was in high school, but I was still a bit scared about how the overall courses will turn out since during my high school I was taught that “College/university won’t be like high school, and you won’t get as much help as you did in high school”, which made me even more scared. Additionally, after 3 weeks of taking classes, I felt like I received a lot of help, more than I ever received in high school. Proving my theory wrong, I realized that life in college doesn’t always go as you thought it would. I started to really appreciate the help that my professors were giving me and the campus itself, although I still can’t say the same about my social life. In conclusion, things don’t always go as you have in mind so always stay open minded about things because they won’t always be as you think.
