I see myself similar to a message in a bottle. Just as a message in a bottle floating on the ocean does not have a fixed route or destination, I similarly do not know which path I am taking. I have yet attempted to steer myself toward a specific goal. As of now and as of who knows when, I indifferently left myself vulnerable to go along with the waves, hoping that maybe this prolonged arbitrariness will get me somewhere.
I thought, coming to college, I would finally be able to decide what I wanted to do with my future. It didn’t. College did not help me narrow down my “What to Do in My Future” list, it just added to my growing list. This added a great deal of concern regarding my future. The possibility that college will just strengthen my indecisiveness, overload my brain with the new ideas, and ultimately serve as discouragement for me to stay motivated to do my required college work.
I believe that independence will make my college experience completely different from my high school experience. Easily put, everything will be on me. I would have to approach new people and befriend them, get over senioritis to complete and hand in my work , and to just get along with life.
I am quite sure that my first year in college will improve myself to be more responsible and independent. Besides this aspect, I am hesitant to further answer how college will change me. It makes me feel as if I am creating limitations to all the possibilities and setting self-expectations that may not be fulfilled.
