College is a life style - Entry#2

College. College. College. Where do I start? College is one of the most confusing challenges I've took on. I'm going on to my third week and so far I've walked into the wrong class room four times, I've missed deadlines because I'm equivalent to a cave man when it comes to computers, and I've spent $300 to relearn things I was taught in the seventh grade. College is not just school, it has to become a life style. You have to be able to balance work, a social life, sleep, and any where from 5-11 assignments for each class all due on the same day. But who can sleep knowing they have all this work due?!

Regardless of all the home work, I can not begin to explain how happy I am to be back in school. Although I graduated in may and started again in August it felt much longer. School is tough but I love challenges. The best thing about school is that beside course work school teaches many lessons. I'm learning to become independent, I can no longer just copy off someone in the class the morning the paper is due, I can no longer use my phone to google the answers, I can't depend on someone driving me to and from school every day. I'm learning to pay my own bills and have to figure out a solution to my own problems. Professors also play a huge role in these lessons. Each teacher teaches you something new, about a topic and even yourself. Because they all expose certain sides of you.

I hope that every week as I share my personal experience with growing and learning while in college someone that hasn't yet entered college will read this and use it as a guide. I hope someone will be able to surpass the "college struggle" with this blog.  If I can help even one person then I've achieved.
