I’m writing this at 1:30 AM, of the day its due, while at the same time writing a ten page paper due tomorrow, or today depending on how you look at it. Yup, this is college, and this is my monologue. I remember the stereotypes of junior high, freshmen fridays? Didnt happen. High school, the bunch of stuff that it was to be? Didnt happen. Instead both of these were much more different then I thought. College? Energy drinks, pizza, all nighters, long ass papers, 100 pages of reading, part time job, busy? Yup all true, and its tough, oh so tough, time management’s become such a hassle. Where’s my video games? My gym time? My social life? Its ok, such is life.

So, my freshmen seminar teacher tells me, she doesnt see my blog, alright thats ok, maybe its because I set it to private. So here I am the day before I have the class going to my blog, about to set it to private, and I see it’s deleted… cool.

Who do I think I am? I think I’m a pretty cool guy. Give a chance to know me, and youll see why. I’m very nice, as I live by the quote do unto others as you would have others do unto you. no I’m not very religious but I follow that to my very core. Fun facts, I’m also excellent at fighting games. Another being I used to be a chubby kid, lost it though as you can probably tell. But thats what makes me kind of a big health guy. Never have a taken any kind of drugs, and until the foreseeable future, I think itll remain that way.

Top three concerns in no particular order would be my grades, my social life, and how I will change. The grades is obvious as to why. My social life is an interesting one, for every school Ive been in, it has changed that aspect dramatically. Good or bad though, I dont know. The last one being change is because change is a big thing, its not something I’m scared of, but it certainly is something I am concerned about.

Plenty of things make college different from high school. For one the teachers arent really pushing me, and I have to do ALOT more reading then I did in high school. Along with everything feels laid back, yet there is a heavy weight behind all of it, can’t explain why. The concept of studying is a rather foreign one to me, as I havent really ever studied previously. Already I see why that is needed, and the fact that you must be on top of all you must do. College creates a much more busy life then high school, and I now know why its stereotyped that way.

As afore mentioned, I’m honestly not sure at all as to how my first year of college will change me. I will probably become a lot more time efficient, as it seems to demand it. But that’s all I really see. I’m guessing the answer to that question will really lie within who the people are that I hang out with and what I do, as they truly do impact who you are.
