Well, I've been going to college for over 3 weeks now which seems pretty strange.
I like it enough. It's better then high school. I have way more freedom to do what I want and study what I want. I'm not babied, which I LOVE. I'm not told what to do, when to breathe..love the less strict rules. The workload isn't unexpected. I knew it was gonna be rough, but I am doing pretty well for myself. I got an 86 on a math quiz, which is something I am proud of 'cause I SUCK at math and as a BIO major that's gonna be a big hurdle for me. I also got an A on a history quiz. I am ahead of all my class-mates in work, as I have a sister to help me organize myself. She's been beyond helpful and I cannot thank her enough.
I knew what this was going to be like, Junior Year of high school, where I had to work my tail-end off and I broke down at least once a month, literally asked my mom if I could drop out...well you get it. Stuff I am embarrassed about now. The other night I was up till 2:30 AM reading and writing stuff for my World Civ class and I began wondering if it really was worth it. 36 pages of reading later..I realized I know people who I DON'T want to end up like in my life, I realized my goals are realistic but only with that degree. I just need to take it day by day.
As for making new friends, I can't really say that's happened yet. I talk to people I don't know that well but I wouldn't say we're friends. I know I need to get more involved, which is alot more difficult because I'm in Community College. But I do plan on doing it...right now I want to work on my grades first.
