My Expectations Of College

Maybe they're the same as yours now or what they were before you went to college.

My Expectations Of College
Jessica Boozel

I will start attending Shippensburg University in six months and so far I have towels, a comforter, and a big group chat full of friends also going there. I love the people that I have already met and I cannot wait to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Netflix dates with them! I also cannot wait to meet so many more people. I'm sort of awkward when it comes to meeting people for the first time, but if we both set off good vibes with each other I can be very outgoing.

As a single girl going to college I have to admit, I hope to find the person that I am going to love for the rest of my life. It's not a must on my expectations list but I do hope that it happens. The truth is most high school relationships do not work and either don't even make it to prom or end a little after graduation. I hope for a college relationship that is mature, understanding, and equal when it comes to giving each other the same amount of attention and compassion.

Another expectation is to go on more adventures. Not necessarily travel the world, but to go to different places with new people. Considering I don't go very far away from my hometown now it would be very out of my comfort zone to go on adventures more often.

Maybe this expectation isn't obvious but I know I'm not the only one that hopes to go to college and find what their career will be. I know my major and I know what I like to do in that major but I don't know what I would like to do most and what to make a career out of. That is part of the reason why I chose Ship. It has so many opportunities and I know I will come out of my four years knowing where and who I should be.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
