College in a Nutshell

 

College is a place where teenagers enter the world of adulthood. It is the time when they must no longer depend on their mothers to wake them up in the morning or to pack them a lunch to make sure they eat. They are now in control of managing their individual time. College students are provided with more freedom then they could have imagined, and with all that comes responsibility. Some students will make the right choices while others will fall through the cracks. There will be many times throughout our college experience where we will be given a choice and some might or might not make the right decision. I believe this is what going to college accomplishes. We as students learn how to be responsible on our own, and how to manage our time. I also believe that going to college helps us become individuals. This is the place where we choose who we want to be and this decision will affect us for the rest of our lives.

                In college I believe everyone accomplishes different goals. Whether they are academically or socially, we all accomplish something. Some students break out of their shell and become more engaged in activities while some will set their goals high and continue on to graduate school. We all set different goals and whether we choose to accomplish them is our own decision. A goal I have set for myself is to become active in many activities here. I have always been seen as the quiet shy girl (I am anything but shy) and I want that to change. My goal is to still maintain a high gpa and to get good grades but to also break free of my quit personality I put out. I always set my goals high so if I reach them I know I accomplished that and more.  Along with social goals, I also want to accomplish academic goals. My goal for this semester is to maintain all my grades for my classes in the B to A+ range. From my first impression of my college classes last Wednesday I saw that I am going to have to manage my time better and once I do that and have time to do my homework then I can accomplish my academic goals.
