College Life For Youn Kim
College. People say that it is a great step into a brighter future but I think it stands for MORE WORK. I have always thought college would be all about meeting new people and having fun, but that hasn’t been my case so far. All I have been doing is going to class then coming home to find myself either fooling around or studying. I continue to tell myself to join a club or to get out more, but I’m becoming lazier and lazier. This month, I even took off from work because of midterms and essays. Last month, this sounded like a great idea, but now I regret it. Having more time to me just means eating more and staying home.
As a college student maintaining an outstanding or even a decent GPA is very important. From day one, I have found myself slacking. During the summer, I knew I was capable of keeping an A average but I think I am stuck with a B right now. There’s always that one class that gets to me. I feel that no matter how hard I try, I will be an average student in that class and get lucky once in a while. For the better GPA, I have to try my best in all the other classes.
Time. It’s my main concern. Without work or clubs, one would expect me to be a top student. My response, “Yeah right!” In my life, laziness conquers everything, but that’s my fault. When I come home from school, I take a shower then eat. As I eat I am most likely online watching videos or dramas. This is how I spend my time; getting that much closer to Freshman Fifteen. If I learn to spend my time wisely, I would have finished my essay or even this monologue last week. Thanks to procrastination, I’m here writing it all out two nights before it’s due. I have to be more hard working and learn to manage my time.
When college first started, I was afraid that I would be a loner and that the days would just drag on. I’m terribly shy around new people and it’s difficult for me to talk to them. There are some people that I feel comfortable around from the beginning. For others I hear myself saying, “Errr…” Soon I made new friends and realized it isn’t going to be all that bad. Even though I don’t know a lot about them, as the days go by, I am getting closer to them. As we walk from class to class, we talk about random things and sometimes there’s the awkward silence. Still, without them I would have probably stayed quieter than now. I’m very glad to have friends like Shirley and Tiffany. 🙂
While writing this, I realized I need to get my act together before it’s too late. After the weather clears up, I’ll call up my boss and go back to work. Even if it might seem difficult, I am going to make things right and study. Next semester, things are bound to change. My goals: becoming more outgoing and organized.
Always keeping a smile on my face. That’s me! 😀
