There have been a lot of positive parts of college already. For instance, I have this new found independence. I used to not be able to go anywhere by myself and not be able to eat anywhere by myself, but now it feels like that’s all I do. I also have my own schedule that I work around. Being able to do what I want or need without asking a parent for permission has been very nice. One of the biggest positives this semester has been not having to go to an 8 a.m. class and my earliest class being at 9:30 a.m. This extra time to sleep in is one of the best things about my college experience. I also enjoy all the time I have to work on homework since I only have two classes each day. This has been one of the biggest changes I’ve gone through ,but has been one of the best too.
Not only have there been positive parts of college, but also there have been negative parts. One of my biggest struggles is only seeing my family once a month at most. My sisters and I are very close in age, so we are used to hanging out every day. But now that I’m living four hours away, I’m not able to spend time with them. Another part of college I’ve struggled with the most is the workload. The workload in high school is very different from the workload in college. For instance, high school teachers would give me somewhere between 2-3 weeks on projects and essays while in college I get at most a week to complete those same tasks. Also in high school there was more homework in classes while in college there are more exams and projects. These are all my personal positive and negative parts of college so far. And hopefully I have more positive parts than negative parts.
