Since college experience is so much more different from high school experience and since you don’t know what to expect, it is only natural to develop concerns and worry.
In this new environment where you are surrounded by strangers you can’t help but miss your friends from high school and miss the moments spent with them, so my primary concern is making friends. I fear that I won’t be able to make new friends in college the same way in high school because, in high school one can hang out with friends after class however in college all the classes are mixed up and most people work after school and therefore it is difficult to build a strong relationship with friends.
My second worry is since the quality and quantity of work received is so much more different from high school I feel like if I slack off I might do bad in class. With all the reading assignments and work that the professors give I cant help but feel nervous as to how I am going to survive. Since I suffer from severe procrastination I fear that all the reading assignments and homework that I didn’t do to the last minute will come to haunt me later in life in the form of a test paper. But I cant also help but feel excitement because of all the knowledge that I will be receiving and all the new things I will be able to do.
Finally my last, but certainly not the least, but most likely the greatest worry that I have, is writing papers. Every time a professor tells me to write a writing assignment (which will be often) I start to break out in cold sweat, my heart starts to beat faster, and I can feel my blood pressure rising significantly. Well i might have over-exaggerated just a little bit, however that lurking fear of writing a paper is no exaggeration. However, I hope that I’ll keep working hard to overcome my fear of writing a paper.
Even though I have many worries and concerns I will try my best to overcome them and make the most out of my college life.

College life is very different in many ways from high school, whereas in high school the teaches would tell you how you are doing academically speaking and would scold you if you are doing bad in class. So with all these responsibilities that college brings it’s no surprise that the first year of college will help better ones responsibilities and maturity level. Therefore I hope that college will help be more responsible, by making sure that i take care of all my work before doing anything else and finishing assignments that the professors’ give on time.
Well, college life just start, we still have enough time to make friends, and build bond…
Don’t worry~
Let’s fight for college life together, and make it as good as high school,ok?
I have the same concern about friendships as you do. I agree it’s harder to hang out. But I feel like college will be a lot more adventurous than HS. I hope you’ll feel the same way as time progresses. Your a good writer yourself. You’ll do fine in all your papers. I suffer from procrastination too. I wish there was a cure!
Keep on doing what your doing. I guess sometimes we have to put our worries aside. Just stay happy and you’ll see that you made it.
