So…who am i? Its not something im so sure about…but the basics-Im Japanese/American, im 20 in December, I moved to America when i was 9 after living in Ecuador for 4 years. I dont speak spanish anymore but people always think i can. Character wise- Im pretty quiet just cause i have nothing to say but ill go crazy when i want to, especially with friends. I love to laugh, just have fun and not care. Adventure is always awesome, i love trying new things, just to know i did it and didnt miss out. I hate sitting down in front of a computer, i would rather be outside doing anything active!
My concerns…well lets just say i hope i dont drop out by the end of this semester. Being here and paying for tuition, i obviously dont wanna fail but i also dont care much about any of the subjects im learning about. I guess thats a concern, whether or not i find enough motivation to do the work required in all my classes. Then theres finding a good group of friends before my junior friends graduate…this freshman block is full of people that came fresh out of highschool and for me that was 2 years ago, so i cant really relate (and i feel stupid next to them). But i shouldnt rule it out i have friends that are younger than me…sometimes… Anyways thats basically it…I also hate that we have to buy textbooks but thats not so much of a concern cause i can deal with it. Yeah so….
College is bigger! Well my highschool sucked, it was a joke really. Because of this block thing a lot of times i feel like im with high schoolers-the same people in all of your classes. Its a little annoying cause i was looking forward to diversity! Wheres the black people? Theres too many Asians! Ok sorry i had to let that out…ummm…The professors are different for sure. They make me be in charge now, teachers dont really care they just grade you. Its more independent, and time consuming cause you cant BS every class like high school. Now i actually have to make an effort to get A’s! Other than that our campus sucks…Oh except our gym! I love that we have a gym and i can work out anytime i want. HS definitely didnt have that.
Im not sure college will change me but i know its gonnna challenge my limitations. Its going to make me push myself even when i might not want to be pushed and itll be interesting to see whether or not ill be able to. Itll be a big step towards what i decide for my future. Hopefully ill have a better idea of what i want out of life, my job and stuff. Other than that i dont think college will change me much, i already changed in the two years i wasnt in college. Its just a necessary step im gonna have to take…ok thats all i got hope i didnt bore too much
