I cannot really complain much. I like college, much better than high school. I mean I would much rather not go to school at all. It is not really the learning that gets to me and stuff, it is the fact that I have to get up early 3 days out of the week and drive here.. to learn. That drives me crazy. I was actually pretty nervous about it coming in on the first day, mainly because I had absolutely no idea where I was going. I can deal with not knowing people and not talking to them and getting weird stares because frankly I don’t really care because half the time I’m still half asleep. And the more I thought about it, it really sucked I was not going to know anyone. I mean I went to the same school for the past 12 years of my life and I grew up with the same kids, for the last 12 years of my life. I may not have liked them all but it was still bittersweet leaving it behind. I am thankful that I am getting a head start though so next year when they are all complaining and sad I can be like listen, it’s going to be the best time of your life. Right now no one believes me, they are terrified that it is going to be so hard and they are going to have so much work. Well you do, but you have plenty of time to do it. I like my classes too. I think what I like most about college is that I will be taking classes over what I like to learn about, not what I have to learn about. Besides this year though because I have to take all these gen. eds. I do like most of the classes though so it is not too bad. But, that is kind of my overall view of college as of now, we’ll see if that changes.
I totally agree with how you feel about school. I live in Sidney which is about 30 mins away and have to drive 3 times a week. It's a drag. I have to get up so early and am there for about 9 hours out of the day on tues & thurs. It's so blah sometimes. I too think college is much better than high school. I truly hated high school. I had to get rid of a lot of my friends because of the stuff they were getting involved with so I pretty much had no friends my freshman and sophomore year. It was hard and I was ready to get out of there Ha! I understand how you feel but in the end all the waking up early and driving will be so worth it. I guess thats just what I have to think about to get my through the day. The times are going to get tough but just stay strong and know you're doing all of this for a great purpose in your life. It's good you're liking a lot of your classes. I am too. I hope you continue to enjoy your college experience and good luck with whatever life has in store for you and your career (:
ReplyDeleteI agree that I like college, but also I feel like I am missing out on the senior year stuff that is suppose to be "oh so fun", don't you? The worst part for me is the drive to Rhodes State 4 times a week, it gets SO boring. After exactly one week of school, I had already driven 700 miles, talk about racking up some mileage, by the end my car will be in pieces! Honestly I'm glad I am not the only one from our school doing post-secondary classes at Rhodes State considering I ask you questions every night about this one class, I would be so lost and fallen behind. My mom gave me the idea of taking post-secondary classes and kind of pushed me towards it, but I think the main reason I agreed to do it was knowing that you were taking the classes to and that I would not be an outcast of some sort. I think that this experience has opened me up to meeting new people and to be not as shy as in the past without my buddy (Brendon). I would say that college has its pros and cons as along with high school. If I had to choose right now I would say that I would pick college over high school just because of the fact that I don't have class on Friday's and I can make fun of everyone back at the high school for having to go to school when I don't!
