Freshman year of college is scary but, you also have the time of your life. You meet new people, you don't have your parents up your butt all the time and you find yourself really or at least I did. It is a big learning experiencing that is for sure.
1. You Have To Actually Study
It is way harder from high school I promise. You have to study and you have to be serious about school. You can not just study every once in awhile and expect to do well in college.
2. Living Away From Home Is Hard
I only lived away from home for a semester but, it was really hard I was homesick a lot. It did get better though. Once you start getting out more and focusing on school you really don't think about home as much. So it does get better.
3. Living In A Community Dorm Is Nice
Living in a community styled dorm is nice because you really can meet a lot of people in your dorm.
4. Living In A Community Dorm Also Sucks
Sharing showers and toilets with 20 plus girls sucks so much. It is literally disgusting. Which that's just my opinion. Also, living with just all girls can get annoying. Not too mention with the bathroom thing, sometimes you have to wait on a shower or a toilet and that really sucks when you are in a rush to get to class.
5. You Can Actually Go Awhile Without Washing Clothes
Washing clothes was something new I had to learn when I went off to school. I wasn't used to having to do my own laundry. But I went like over two weeks without washing clothes its no biggie.
6. Living On Campus Is Great
You literally can wake up like 10 minutes before class and still make it on time. I got to enjoy that luxury for a semester and it was great. I lived off campus when I came back home and would have to wake up an hour earlier just so I could find a parking spot and get to class on time.
7. Parking At Any Campus Really Sucks
When I went to Winthrop University I seriously had to park all the way across campus from my dorm. It Sucked so bad! Even at Lander I have to walk forever it seems.
8. Professors Really Are Not As Bad As They Are Made Out To Be
I really have only had one bad experience with a professor. All of my other professors have truly cared about how I did in a class. Really all of them have been nice as well.
9. College Is The Time Of Your Life But Also The Hardest
College is so much fun but it is also really hard. In my freshman year of college I really have found myself. It has been so much fun. It also has not been easy though. It has been hard to stay focused and hard to keep up my grades. But you learn how to balance it.
