My First Year in College
My First Year College My first year in college was probably the most exciting and, at the same time, scariest days of my life. In my mind, I had an idea how’s college life going to be but it’s my first year so I couldn’t help it. I imagined longer class hours, hard classes, people that wouldn’t like me or I wouldn’t like, and more fast foods/ restaurant foods. My first day in college was nerve wrecking.

We spent our first day walking around the university and familiarize ourselves. I was overwhelmed on my first month in college. I was still adjusting on my new schedule, developing my study habits to keep up with my subjects and making time for extra curricular activities. I made new friends inside and outside my classroom. They helped me get through my problems. We studied together and made our assignments together. We were having fun and, at the same time, learning. I can still remember my whole first year college experience. It was a life changing experience. My workload was more intense and heavier. I needed longer hours to study and sacrificed my sleeping hours to read. I had so much writing and shorter deadlines.

It was challenging and it was a wonderful journey for me. I met new people and experienced a lot of things. It helped me became independent at some point. It
