The best of the worst.

Every incoming freshman wonders what it will be like coming college. Such a new experience, will I like it? Will I adjust well? Will I ever be homesick? It’s natural to have feelings like this. When I came to school I had a list of pros and cons running through my head about how I would feel about college. But I would never know until I got here. So now, being asked this question after experiencing a whole semester in college I can honestly answer. One think I absolutely hate about college is being away from home. I know I am nineteen years old but who cares, I miss my mommy. Without getting out all the gory details of my life, my mom and I have been though a lot together. And sometimes being away from her breaks my heart a little. The other thing that I could not possibly hate more at college is (and I know people will gasp at first but let me get through it) is the lack of homework we get here. Homework was always the thing I could rely on to get my grades back up. I’m a horrific test taker, there’s nothing else to it. I need those homework points. Alright, well now since I’ve complained enough about the things I don’t like about college I may as well get to the things I do like. As much as I miss my family and my mom, I do not miss the curfew that came with that. Like seriously? Over winter break I still had to be home by one AM? Ridonc. I also like how much independence you get here. It’s not that I didn’t tell my family what my grades were, but they had to ask me. In college you are an adult, and here you are treated as one.
