My First Experience of College

My family would always ask my what are you going to do after High School, and every single time, I would say ‘College, I guess”. I had always been a bit nervous about graduating from middle school to high school because it was a completely new experience for me, and being a pretty small kid, I was always a bit shy of the other kids in the higher grades. As I progressed through high school, though, it was pretty easy to make new friends and get familiar with my classes, and I seemed to make more friends easily. My attitude has changed though, as I graduated from high school, I was really excited to attending my first college. My first time stepping onto the campus the first time was during the Student Orientation back in June, so being the complete scrub I was, I had a confident face people would have thought, ‘Dang, that kid looks like he knows what he’s doing’, but also could have thought why there was some elementary school kid wandering around a college campus. The only difference between high school and college, I would have to say is the classes, because there is more free time in between some classes, and it’s pretty cool taking a two hour break between two classes, but it gets awkward when you do not have anyone else you know that’s out the same time as you. Overall, I’ve felt more comfortable attending school now then I was back then, and plan to expand my range of friends not just from Patterson, but from others across the area. Now the only thing I have to worry about is getting my own car to drive all the way from Patterson.
