Coming into college as a freshman, I had some expectations for college. One thing I expected was homework. I cut down my hours at my job from 30 hours a week to 12 hours a week. I expected that college would have a lot more homework than it actually does. I also expected Professors to be stricter than they actually are. Most professors don’t care what students do since they are spending money to be here. It is up to them how they do in a class. One thing I didn’t expect was to have a lot of free time. I expected that I was going to always be doing homework and always at my job.
While I had expectations for college, The reality is much better. In reality, college is not as bad as I thought it would be. I don’t have too much homework, meaning I don’t stay up until like 2 in the morning doing homework like I thought I would. In reality, I also have a lot of free time to fill with things I want to do outside of college like spending time with my friends and family, going to work, joining school clubs etc. Also In reality the professors are really kind for the most part and understanding. Overall my reality doesn’t really match my expectations. College is kind of the opposite of what I expected it to be like. But that is a good thing since my expectations were not good.
