High school and college are very
different in not only way but in many ways. For starters a couple things that
are pretty obvious like you are living on campus of the school (for most
students), Mom and Dad aren’t here, and you are sharing almost everything with
someone else and sometimes multiple people, and many more.
Living
on campus means that you are the boss of what happens in your day, for some
people that is a good thing and for others it’s not. That means it’s your job
to make sure that you are out of bed at 7 am, if you need an hour to get really
for that 8 am class that you convinced yourself was a smart idea to take. You
may have an awesome roommate or suitemate that has to be out of the door at the
same time that will help you get that kick start to get there on time or even
early. Or that could mean that you have to know how much sleep you have to have
so you will not be a grumpy old man (or woman) in the morning.
Mom
and Dad are not there, some of us are jumping for joy at that thought. (I know
I am!! (Sorry Mom!)) It’s not that we don’t love them, but independence is
something that everyone has to learn so we are not living at home forever
(which my Mom would love). I am sure
that for other it is harder for other being so far away (or just away from
home).
Sharing;
for some that’s an easy thing but for others that’s the one thing that wasn’t something
that was learned in kindergarten. Like they would rather cut off their right
hand before they would willing share. Hey that’s cool, everyone is different.
And I will agree that there is a line on what should be shared and what should
not be shared! Like for me don’t touch my tea and we will be great friends. The
thing that I have found to be most helpful when it came to sharing is just be
straight forward with the people your living with. Because face it if you can not be straight forward or truthful with those people then the next year or semester is going to more difficult than it will need be.
