College is quite a transition from high school. While college is a great new step towards discovering what you want to do with your life, sometimes we might miss the ease of being in high school. Here are a few things that you might be missing about your alma mater.
1. Short Classes
In high school, most people had over 8 classes a day, and since the school day is only so long, the classes themselves were always short. But in college, people can get stuck in three hour classes, which feels like forever!
2. Seeing Your Friends Every Day
In college, classes and work can get in your way so you might not see your friends as much. But in high school, you got to see them every day.
3. Playing Sports
In high school, there was always such a diversity of sports to join, and you didn't have to be the best to get on the team. Sports were a fun way to be active while competing with other schools. But in college, most only join a sport if they are highly skilled and want to pursue it further, since it requires extensive practice time and a strict schedule.
4. School Clubs
While both college and high school have school clubs, high school clubs were more immersive with categories from Spanish, sports, art, and even cooking. Since clubs were a break from classes, they were more enjoyable, while for college, you have to go out of your way to attend meetings.
5. Less Homework
If there was one thing from high school that I wish could be the same for college, it would be the homework load. Since you met for a class every day in high school, homework was minimal to none, but for college, that's far from the truth.
6. Less Studying
Classes took less time and effort once the school day was over since they met every day, and since most classes were the whole year, not by semesters.
