Little me in a big pond (monologue)

Elaine Choo

Who am I? Well I’m:

* A college student

*A daughter

*A sister

*An aunt

*A best friend, a friend

*A girlfriend

*A young adult but a child at the same time

I am me.

All these words cannot really sum up who I am.

I’m only 18, I know hard to believe, and I can’t help it if I look the way I do!

I’m in the second phase of my life- college.

Attending class 5 days a week is nothing out of the ordinary, feels like high school

High school for me was

* Small classes

*Having close friends but knowing everyone in my grade, it was always HEY!

*Reasonable teachers

*The small amount of responsibilities we used to have

*And easy homework.

College is the same, or so I thought. I have

*Massive lecture halls that make me an even tinier fish than I already am in a sea of 400 other big fishes

*A few new friends and over 400 other strangers that hover over me.

*And instead of loud and comfortable greetings, it’s become those small awkward hand waves and smiles.

*Crazy, uptight and outright absurd teachers that honestly couldn’t care less about whether or not I paid attention or attend class.

*A bottomless pit of responsibilities that is slowly taking over my life.

*A never ending load of homework.

My biggest fears in this phase of my life are not passing the class or tests.

My biggest fears are time management and procrastination, the culprits of

My poor test grades and class work in my high school days.

My biggest rival in college? Not you, or you or you, or any of the several thousand students in this school.

It’s me.

I have to surpass myself,

No more procrastination

Or excuses.

I need to take charge, and I will succeed
