I wasn’t sure what to talk to you about so I figured I pick something we can all relate to. The transition from high school to college. It’s not so bad, but I think it’s quite different. For example, it seems that college requires you to do some actual work. I’m not sure how fond of this I am so hopefully by my junior or senior year I’d have figured out how to slide by the work.
On another note, I don’t know if I have yet figured out the best part about college. Come to think about it, I don’t know the worst part about it either. Everything for the most part just seems “OK,” as in I’m doing everything because they have to get done. One of the “less ok” things might be having certain classes and/or teachers. The most obvious example would be our English class, where we have done more work so far than my entire high school career. It’s whatever though, you can’t win them all. The fact that quite a few of our other teachers are a little more laid back helps it balance out. Bottom line, it is what it is, everything is temporary.
Speaking of temporary, I’m a little sad that our learning community only lasts the semester. At first I was a little reluctant to sign up for LC because honestly it sounded some what cheesy, but it was much better than that. Now, I can’t imagine what it would be like without an LC. It just made everything easier. The learning community makes college kind of feel like a team effort because we’re always helping each other out with work, and it’s easy to relate to one another and talk about what’s stressing us out because we’re going through it together. As I say this out loud I kind of see why it may seem cheesy, but it isn’t.
My worries are pretty limited this year. Pretty much just need to focus on major tests coming up. There’s no getting around it, it is what it is. Other than that, I don’t see any major problems. Something I’d have to think about though is my major. I’m not too sure what I want to do. I was always good with computers so initially I thought about computer science or computer information systems, but I heard threes a ton of math work involved. I should get on track and figure it out though because the days are passing by so quickly. Soon we’d be out in the ‘real world’ where we’d have to take care of ourselves and generate money in what they call this concrete jungle. It seems like it’s a real fast paced world inNew York. Although people from other parts of the country might give NY a bad rep, I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I grew up in this fast paced city and I’m not sure if I’d be able to settle down somewhere else.
I’m not sure how I got to this train of thought but yeah. Bottom line is the world will always move quickly and it won’t wait for anyone. You have to focus on what you’re doing to be as successful as possible. There’s a lot of wealth out there, you just have to get your piece.
