Saying that college has changed me would be a bit of an understatement. It helped me improve my character and grow as a person. It allowed me to meet so many great people and gave me opportunities to work on my future career. But what’s even more amazing is that this is only the beginning, and I couldn’t be happier to see what’s ahead of me.

When I was little I saw college simply as the means in getting a good job. Which is true, but now that I’m here I realise that there is so much more to it. College, above all, helps you improve your mind. College students are the thinkers, the ones who lead revolutions all around the world. In the past few months I was able to learn much more than I ever anticipated. I hated learning in high school, but now I realise maybe I just hated the system.

But in a way, college broke me. A visit in a coffee shop twice a week became a daily habit. My wallet suffered, and so did my mental health. But in the end, I would not change a single thing. Even the terrible sleeping habits don’t seem so terrible after four months. In a way, I started to enjoy going to sleep late – at least when I don’t have an English essay to write.

So I conclude my last LC07 blog post with a screenshot of a glitch I’ve encountered when I first played Assassin’s Creed Unity (I had to go to the midnight release to even get the game within 48h… Thanks college!). In a sense, it reflects how I feel right now – broken but I’m still having fun. Some days I will feel a little down, but I know that the next day of classes will find a way to cheer me up.
