Cas. “101 Graduation Hashtags.” Get Your Holiday On, 4 May 2022, www.getyourholidayon.com/high-school-graduation-hashtags/
Just graduating last year, sometimes I still feel like I’m in high school even though I am in a completely different town, with a SMALLER room, and attending a bigger school. I have a set of new teachers and only a few times a month do I see a small group of people I walked the halls with not so long ago. It is crazy to me how time flies but how much can stay the same. Not much has changed for me academically. I wasn’t in a ton of AP classes in high school but there hasn’t been too much of a challenge yet and if anything my classes have all been very laid back like a general high school class. The only thing that is different between the two is that a lot more responsibility falls on me to get everything done which can be hard when burnt out. It is no longer the teacher pushing you to turn assignments in and get to class. Everything you do is in your hands.
Being away from home has also been a challenge. It was a lot easier to get through school when I had support waiting for me at home. But here I feel alone and more isolated from my family which can be hard and get in the way of my academics. I have to take advantage of my visits otherwise I don’t feel recharged and ready to go back. Besides that, the environment and the social culture have just been the biggest adaption with being away from home and exploring college life and all it has to offer. But overall, there have been a few obstacles in this transition (as expected) but nothing I can’t handle. I’ve made friends through classes, I go to events on campus, my roommate is nice, and I like my professors. Overall, it’s not too bad and I think I will be okay.
