Welcome to the World of Higher Education.

To some random person off of the street, college could mean a higher education and a chance for a better job. Other people see it as a time to make changes in their life and develop a greater level of thinking. For me though, college is a combination of these two things. I consider it a time to make changes in my life, acquire a higher education along with developing a greater level of thinking. College is a time to somewhat, reinvent yourself. You have the freedom to make your own choices and now all of your choice’s consequences fall solely upon you. Going to college allows you to accomplish many different things; you could pursue a career in a certain field, brush up on a subject you’ve enjoyed or had trouble with, or just take classes on subjects you’ve shown interest in.  This is a reason why you see a variety of students of different age groups on campus each day.  Being a college student, a freshman, means that it’s finally my time to take responsibility for myself. I can now take classes that will help me land my dream job in the future and classes that actually hold my attention.  My expectations were set pretty high for my classes, especially in the workload that I would be receiving from each class. Socially, I’d like to try and be so much more outgoing than I was in high school. I think it took me from 8^th grade until my senior year to finally get to know everyone. The personal aspect is one that I’d like to focus on the most. There is a lot about myself that I’d like to understand, such as whom I am and what I believe in. I would always be the one who rarely had an opinion on anything because I didn’t care or I didn’t feel like causing a debate. I feel that college is a time to discover who you really are as a person and set those things in place. College is like an entire world full of experiences that are vital to have.
