Who do I think I am
by michelle k
I don’t know who I am. I have been questioning myself that very question throughout my teenage but still haven’t got the answer. Since it’s not philosophy class, I don’t want to go too far and deep but I’d say I’m on my journey to find who I am and I believe I will learn a lot about myself in my college years.
My top 3 concerns are simple; making new friends, getting a job and adequate GPA – 3.3 or above. For right now GPA goal seems to be most challenging but I’ll try my best to work it out. …easy to say it, isn’t it. But honestly I really doubt if I can live out until senior year. Some of my close friends already noticed that I almost sing a song how badly I want to drop a school. I felt that I’m the only one who can’t adapt to the college life. I still have hard times getting up early in the morning, taking one hour to get school(my high school was just four blocks away from my house. can you imagine how huge difference that is), and dealing with bunch of assignments. Maybe I stumble more than others because I had so laid-back senior year in my high school. High school was so much easier than the college. I pretended I am a hard working student in my freshman through junior years and I think I was good at it since my GPA was relatively better than my friends’. But when it came to senior year, shortly after I applied for college, I started skipping school whenever I want; skipped for vacation on sunny day, skipped for sickness(or not-feeling-like-going-to-school) on rainny day. I was so depressed when I learned that I can’t do that anymore in college. What kind of fun else can I have if I can’t cut the school. And one more great thing about being a senior in high school was that nobody really wakes you up in the class and bothers with homework. Seniors don’t do anything. That was a statement every kid agrees and I loved it. I went to school only if I wanted to see my friends and participated in class only when I was bored. That was how my senior year like and maybe that’s why I felt that college life is so stressful. But, oh, I got to say that I’m so glad I met you guys! You made it easy for me to achieve the first goal.
