Life As a College Freshman

Life as a College Freshman
Becoming a college freshman definitely wasn’t easy, but then again I wasn’t expecting it to be. Before coming to the university, I was a proud student at GuamaniPrivate School. I had excellent grades, amazing friends and a close relationship with my family. Nevertheless, I was utterly excited to graduate and venture the world as a college freshman.I spent many summer nights thinking about how college would be like. I wondered how it would feel to shift from a tiny high school, where I practically knew everyone, to an enormous college,filled with a variety of people, without a familiar face in sight. Living two hours away from home was something I wasn’t too thrilled about, but it was part of the price I had to pay if comingto this university was what I really wanted to do. Still, I was excited, and no one could take that away from me. I was ready to walk up to my classrooms, pay very close attention in class,make new friends and enjoy a new stage in my life, or so I thought. My first day in college ready wasn’t what I expected it to be; it didn’t even come close. I never expected to feel so lost,so alone, but I did. I dreaded having to walk around the campus, scared someone would realize I was a freshman and use it against me. Thankfully I knew a couple of people, and they helped meget around and get adjusted. My professors were, to my surprise, rather nice. They didn’t seem like the kind of people you usually hear of, I mean of those who torture their students and maketheir lives miserable. Still, I could be mistaken; it was only my first day. Today I feel pretty much the same way. Making friends hasn’t been a pleasure and getting well-adjusted to living onmy own is still a bit rough, but I’ll manage. No one said going off to college would be a breeze, in fact, I always hear the opposite, but I must admit it’s one heck of an experience.
