How College Changes Me
This is the last blog that we are going to make in this class. I feel as though we all have changed in some way. I’m not saying just because of this class, but more, the fact that we all went through another quarter so fast, it’s nostalgic.
I’m a freshman in college, and in another quarter, I’m going to be a sophomore. College went by so fast. There were so many hurdles and obstacles that came by each of our ways. For some people, it may have been easier for them to overcome these obstacles; however, for others, it may have been a struggle. For me, I had to adjust to a completely different environment that I am used to. I came from a place where the dropout rate was close to 50%, and here I am. Like others, I had to adjust and learn to cope with the rigor and time management problems that came my way. Going to UCLA, I have so much more freedom, but with that, I have so much more responsibilities. At first, I didn’t know that going off to college would be so difficult. I guess I had to learn from experience that situations will turn out this way. XP I sound like I’m already graduating. Don’t get me wrong, we all still have a lot to grow from. From here on out, it is our responsibility to do something about it.
Here we are finals week. I’ve seen people stressing out about how they are going to do. I’ve also seen people not even worried about finals. There’s a mixture of different people in this world; by going to UCLA, it made me realize to the extent of how diverse the world really is. I even feel stressed at finals, and doing this blog is a quick break. It feels as though doing regular blogs that just express your feelings helps calms people’s feelings.
It may be because I’m overwhelmed that I’m saying this, but looking back to where I started, I realized how much I’ve matured and adjusted. Yes, I was busy back when I was still living with my parents, but the fact that I’m not living with them and the fact that I’m going to school to study and have a social life, I find it hard to manage my time. There are so much things I want to do that I was never able to do because of my parents. However, now that I am able to do the things I want, I feel like I can’t multitask as much as I want to. College has changed me so much that I can’t compare to other people.
… I guess this is a little rant… it’s just things that have been on my mind. XP
