Coping with change.

College is different from high school on many levels. First off, there is much more freedom involved in college, the choice is now yours. Nobody’s telling you that if you don’t go to class you’re going to be in big trouble and nobody tells you to go to the office and get a tardy slip to be admitted into class if you are late. If you aren’t living at home you won’t have anyone screaming at you to wake up and go to class, so you actually have to talk yourself out of bed. Deciding if you actually want to drag yourself out of bed or push the snooze button and not worry about it becomes a daily major decision. Another big change is that you actually have to try to pass the class. In high school it was easy to just squeeze by in class if you did an okay job on all of your assignments. In college some of the professor’s don’t even give homework, they lecture, you listen and take tests. It’s a completely different environment. You don’t have a teacher standing in the front of the class constantly reminding you when you have something due, in college you hear it once or twice and after that you’d better just know it yourself or pray that someone around you knows. The biggest transition into college is deciding what’s important to you, whether its friends, work, parties, sports or homework.

Intro.

Well first off, I really don't like describing myself to people. I never know what to say so I always feel stupid! I like hanging out with friends, listening to music, texting, going out to parties, baseball and reading. I'm a really easy-going person with a big forgiving heart. Anything else you want to know I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself. =]
