I’m a person who’s a firm believer in going after what your heart wants, not what your brain wants, because life is seriously too short for that. To many I’m an acquaintance. To few am I a friend. To fewer still am I a brother, although not in a literal sense of blood brothers. I think that I am a person who has just entered an entirely different world. That world is college. I’m a college freshman who’s looking to fit in to a whole new life. The fixed days of life are gone, because we are all now adults. What we do from now on is our own choosing. Professors don’t check homework, and sometimes showing up for class isn’t even mandatory. I think that this first year of college will bring about great change in me. Although I think myself to be pretty mature for my age, I realize now that I’m naïve about things. Life’s not easy, and we almost never get what we truly want. I’m hoping for college to teach me the lessons I need in life. I sense that by the end of my first year in college, I will be a totally different person. How different? I don’t know and I won’t until it’s all said and done. However, there are some changes that I want. I want to become a more outgoing person then I am now. When placed in a new environment, it’s hard for me to begin to connect with people unless it’s sort of like a small group conversation. I’m not the loudest person, nor am I a person people remember for something specific. I need that to change. I also want to develop a new hobby or a skill by the time this year is done, something totally novel to me. I do have a few concerns for this year. My first concern, as with many is my GPA. However, I don’t think it is placed as high on my priority list as it is with others. I do want a high GPA, preferably enough to get into honor society, but if I don’t then it won’t be that big of a deal to me. I feel like my concerns with my grades aren’t as high on my priority list as it would be with others, but everyone’s different. My second concern is not related to school, although it does relate to freshman year. When the summer was over, my closest friends all left for college. We vowed to each other that we wouldn’t forget each other, a pact that I am hoping to be honored. My last concern with freshman year is passing my sociology class!! Hope everyone who reads this enjoyed it.
