College is a new experience and a big jump for anyone. My college experience has been unlike anything else before in my life. I rate my overall college experience a 9 out of 10. It has been far from perfect, but I think that’s what makes it so memorable looking back and seeing how much I’ve grown over these past several months of college, and all the memories I’ve made. The thing I’m most proud of is the friends I’ve made so far in college. In high school I never really had the best group of friends and even now I don’t keep in touch with anyone from my high school, but my friends I’ve made in college definitely make up for that.
My biggest challenge so far would for sure be my classes. I struggled with classes even in high school, but I like the challenge of my classes and school in general because it makes me appreciate the free time I get to spend with my friends. My favorite part so far has for sure been the freedom I get to do whatever I like. With this new freedom I’ve obviously had to learn how to balance my time. Another big challenge for me is waking up for my classes. In college you stay out way later than you do in high school, and you pay the price for it the next morning when you’re struggling to wake up before noon.
I think college is a great experience for anyone lucky enough to experience it. All the bad times made the good times that much better. I’m very grateful for my college experience.
