Monologue.

I am a freshman at Baruch College. My name is Julia and I turned eighteen this past summer. All throughout summer, I imagined how college would be like. The city, the lectures and the people. As of right now, it meets my expectations. However I’m constantly having trouble getting up in the morning. In high school, I started at eleven o’clock and it took only ten minutes to walk to school, so I definitely was not ready for this. Waking up before the sun is even visible and the almost two hour transportation is still ridiculous to me today. But the activities during school make up for most of it. Exploring the city during the club hours, interesting classes and the clubs are balancing out the pros and the cons. I found that during my hardships, my family and friends have helped me thought it. They were kindly listening to my problems and giving me advices and encouragements to help me through. However even with all these shoulders to lean on, the future scares me. I’m worried my future won’t be what I imagined it to be. But this keeps me motivated not to slack off and do well. Since college is one step closer to reality and being on my own, I should wake up and do what I need to do to keep my dream and meet my expectations.
