A Big Step Up From High School

I am going to write a few blogs about college, it is not in any particular order, just some of my thoughts. Do you remember the time in elementary school, when we were about to move up, they said middle school is going to be a big step, they also said something similar in the end of middle school, before entering high school. Why didn’t they say that about college? I felt like I took a huge leap from high school. I didn’t feel the difference till second semester. The first semester eased me into the idea of college, in the second semester I felt like I had too much on my plate. Its totally different from high school, small classes, the teacher knows you, they have quizzes and tests, separate from the midterms and final, they also have set due dates for assignments. Something that I miss is teachers telling you that you have to get this much done for the project by this day, and at the end of it all you finished the whole project. Life was much more simple, each day was similar, except for gym or lab. In college you can have a three-hour class, then an hour class then a four-hour break before your last class at 6:50, then the next day could be totally different. The best thing to do is get your self a planner and stick to it, and set deadlines and goals for yourself.
