Everyone tells you about the fun you’ll have when you go to college. But they forget to tell you about the stress you’ll get from teachers, tests and even making friends. When I was going to my first class, I was so nervous, I didn’t know what to expect. Everything was so different, I knew no one in my class and I wasn’t sure how everyone would act towards each other. I was afraid that my professors would be hard on me or wouldn’t like me. However, once I got to my first class everything felt so much better. I was no longer nervous, I actually felt excited. Going to college was a big deal, and I felt like I was growing up. I remember having a sweet 16, and that’s when everyone said I was a “woman” but honestly, I didn’t feel like an adult until I walked into the doors of Baruch. Everyone and everything looked to different to me, but I was eager to explore the campus. Now that I’m getting into the hang of everything, I realize that it’s not all that bad. I admit, it’s stressful at times, but I know I can handle it. One thing I learned is to not be lazy, which is the hardest thing for me to do.

I like this monologue because she personally confesses a lot of the thoughts that she had about college and is having, in a way this is very personable to her, but it also is something that everyone can relate to. The monologue is very specific to her, but also universal in a sense, which has a nice effect.
Personal but can be easily related to. Nothing special, I really don’t quite remember your monologue. One thing that stood out to me though… was that typo at “everything looked to different to me.” Meant to be “so different” not “to different” right? Hopefully?
I couldn’t express these feelings better myself. Being an experience we have all shared, this monologue is very accessible. However it gives us the unique view from Devanie, which gives the opportunity for connection between speaker and audience.
I like that Devanie expressed her thoughts about college. This monologue gave me the opportunity to get to know Devanie better. I think all of us are able to relate to this.
