I think I’m a person who’s looking for the college experience that is hyped up by the students of years ahead of us. At the same time I’m looking to make sure that I stay focused on my studies and get good grades. So in essence I’m someone who is trying to find a balance between the social aspect of college and the educational portion. I think my first year of college will change me in that it will force me to be somewhat more independent in making my own decisions and it will make me more open minded towards exploring new opportunities. Three concerns that I have about my freshman year are that I will not find the balance that I’m looking for between friends and school, that I won’t find the college experience that is hyped up, and that I won’t join a club or sport that I’m interested in.
