In only a few months I will be starting my freshman year of college. College is something I have thought about since I was little, t always seemed like such an exciting thing but at the same time very scary. These are five things that I want to get out of my four years of college.
Put Myself Out There And Try New Things
I've always heard that college is a time where you get to learn a lot about yourself and what kind of person you are. When I start college, I want to do new things that will put me out of my comfort zone. I want to join as many groups and organizations as I can so I can be exposed to new people and learn things I couldn't think of otherwise.
Meet New People And Make Friendships That Will Last a Life Time
Throughout High School, I always had the same friends and never pushed myself to meet new people and to be social. I was often perceived as a very shy person, and in college, I want to change that. I want to be outgoing and push myself to meet as many new people as I can. I want to expose myself to new cultures and diversity.
Have No Regrets
When I start my freshman year, I want to make sure I participate in everything. I don't want to get out of college and regret not taking that class that seemed interesting, or joining a group that may seem intimidating at first. It's better to try something new and hate it afterward because if you at least try, you still get something out of it.
Finiding Something I really Enjoy
I want to find something to be passionate about, whether it's from a group, volunteering, or an activity. I think it's essential to be a part of something that encourages and motivates you to be a better person.
Grow As A Person
College is all about growing as a person and discovering what you want to do in your life. There are a lot of ways I can grow as a person. I want to challenge myself to be more responsible and independent. I want to be able to take care of myself without the help of my parents and learn how to solve problems on my own.
