Clubing, drinking, and hanging out all night is what I thought of collge; however once I arrived it was very different. College is a dramatic change it consists of adapting, meeting, and managing.
I never thought that once I left my home I would miss it. I went from baths to showers, queen size bed to twin, and from knowing that I am surrounded by love to like, maybe. Not only that, mom is no longer there to wake me up for school, or even cook my breakfast and dinner. She cannot fuse at me for not cleaning my room or the kitchen. I even miss the argurments and fights between my sisters and brother. Sitting on the porch watching the cars and people walk and drive by. Where as in college I have to remind myself to do these things. Sitting on the porch would only be a memory that I wish could happen again before my adulthood begins. I feel as though a reniassance has took place.
Because I am a friendly person it is very easy for me to meet new people. A big nice smile and a great personality is my technique. So far everyone that I have communicated with was just excited as I was, even just to speak. It is good to be around people who like to do the same things as me because it makes it easier for us to start a conversation. Where as if I were at home I might stare at them in silence. Since I have been in college my fears for speaking out loud has changed, I am not afraid to make new friends. The GEWW Crew knows just what to do in order to bring people out and show them many new things with good clean fun. Although they have their own name I still consider them the Southern's spirits.
Time management is damage. It is so mch to do and experience in one day. I am in the process of leaning how to mangage my time and fit everything I want to do into one schedule. Not only is time hard to handle but MONEY is a major problem. After walking into the bookstore I seen many things that I wanted, but I realized that I cannot afford it, because the money I have has to last me for the rest of the week. I cannot go out toeat as much, so I eat on campus because that was already prepaid for. Now I park my car and walk around campus which saves me about forty dollars a week. Less driving, less gas, equal lesser money spent. I was getting use to someone else buying me the things that I wanted and needed. However, I have to do these things all for me.
Without even realizing it, I am becoming an adult because I am teaching myself how to go about change and management.
