The expected and unexpected

College isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I knew it would late nights, long classes and meeting new people. There were a lot of things that I wasn't expecting either. With what I was expecting and what I wasn't expecting, college is definably a whole new world for me.

With the long nights filled with homework, studying and trying to get thing in some kind of order so it’s a little bit easier to sleep at night. I am the kind of person that needs things into some kind of order so I know what is happening and how much time I have to do each thing. If things are all kinds of crazy in my world I don’t sleep well. Then at the same time I have eight am classes every day, so my sleep cycle isn’t the best. I feel like the classes in college are longer than they were in high school, I like that we don’t have the same class every day. With a certain class every other day, I feel like that we as student get a little extra time to do the homework that was assigned. I know that I have lots of homework that gets assigned, so if I have a little over a day to do it I feel a little less over whelmed about everything that was assigned. I enjoy meeting new people; I am not the best at it though. I am a very shy person at first, but get to know me I will talk to you all day. I wish I was better at making new friends.

When I thought of college when I was in high school I wasn't ready for really being so far away from home. I talk to my mom every day so I don’t feel so homesick. It also helps that my parents come up to see me every now and then. I wasn't expecting that my days would be as long as they are. I feel like my whole day is consumed of things that have to get done. I understand that it’s probably that my day is filled with things to do rather than having time when I am sitting around doing nothing.

College has things that I was aware of and things that I wasn't aware of. I think that’s a good thing because if I knew exactly what it was like then I wouldn't have to grow as much as a person. And its healthy when you have to grow.
