My Wonderful College Life
I still vividly remember my first day in college. I was so excited in meeting new people. College felt like a liberation for me since I was far away from my family. It was my first time to be separated from them.

It was a bit difficult at first to be with people I never knew. I didn't know how I should behave just to fit in. But eventually, everything went smoothly. I met wonderful friends whom are still my best buddies even until now. Every time we would meet up, we will never fail to recall how we were back in college; how we were molded to what we are now. College is a dry run of the rest of our lives. It's a training ground on how to be successful and become good people.

College life is WAY different from secondary school life! The environment, especially at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, is cool and amazing. The people here from all over the world with their different sense of fashion and style has made this campus special to me. But like most of the people during their first week, i was alone. The whole week of orientation was enlightening but i am still without a new friend. When the second week arrived, our lectures started and i met some classmates. They are friendly. The Taylor's University Freshies N Newbies Club (FnN) did help to break the ice. The gathering we had was very fun and laughter was in the air most of the time. When the third week arrived, i went away to Spain for 17 days and when i came back it is Hari Raya holidays. Well, i hope i can catch up with what i have missed in class and i really hope i will have some very good and close friends here and have a fruitful 2.5 years throughout this Diploma course. College life has been complicating for me so far but I'm going to enjoy or at least TRY to enjoy each and every moment of my college life.

    College is the first step into adult hood. You are no longer forced to listen to instructions and do homework. But of course not doing so, can result to consequences. These years for me were like a roller coaster. The highs, lows and standstills made me learning responsibility, because I had no one to blame, everything that went wrong was all on me. Despite the challenges I made the best of every situation and pushed forward. With my college challengges I can relate to Cox, Green and Bellafante on serval levels.…

    Coming to college was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only has it matured me but it has also taught me things about myself that I never knew. Not only is it a new experience, but an entirely different atmosphere from the high school life. My first semester here at North Carolina Central University was overwhelming. I found myself being busier than I’ve ever been. But, it was all for the good. I learned how to be productive and manage my time more effectively.…

    : As a first year college student I think that adjusting to college would be one of the hardest things for me to do. Making the transition into a new environment and new relationships with new people is not the easiest thing to do when you have adapted to certain people almost all your life. I will be expected to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, adjust to different living arrangements, and develop new relationships. Living with roommates may be the first ‘test’ of my freshmen experience. I will have to face the challenge of adjusting to roommates who may have very different boundaries and individual needs than family and friends from home. My roommates and I may or may not develop close friendships, but communication and compromise can build a smoother transition. College brings a unique opportunity to interact and live with people from various backgrounds and cultures. Expanding my worldview by learning about each other’s differences and similarities will likely enhance my college…

    I am ready for the challenge. I know with every obstacle that I face I will have an opportunity to learn from it. I have found that failure is the beginning of success and building character. In college, I will learn the importance of time management, work ethic, and responsibility. These are all disciplines that I will use for the rest of my life. In addition, I look forward to networking. I believe in the old saying “it’s not about what you know, but who you know”. A campus full of aspiring young adults is the perfect place to make connections and acquire diverse knowledge from others. Being in college will help me develop skills and friendship that will last a…

    I am currently in my freshman year at college, and I have found the experience a very rewarding and exciting one. This year has been a year of "firsts" in my life. I have experienced my first call home to truly say "hi," my first all-night study session, and my first time on my own and in my own space. Since the first year is a changing experience, I was glad to live with about two hundred other people experiencing the same feelings I was because it made it so much easier to make the transition from our former high school lives to our new college lives together.…

    Through my short 7 weeks here at St. Olaf I have had many different experiences. First, when I arrived for football camp on August 12th. Initially I felt uncomfortable, out of place in somewhere new where I really didn’t know anyone. On the other hand it was intriguing, such a beautiful place on a hill, where you feel on top of the world. Then, it was time to say bye to my parents for the first time in 18 years. That made everything more uncomfortable and made me feel more confused, which I am sure every freshman felt. Starting to meet the rest of the freshman and make friends was easier then I thought, because all of us were new here, and looking for people to talk to. Throughout a long-lasting two and a half weeks of camp friendships started…

We immediately started a conversation with him, and we have been good friends ever since.…

    To me College is like your first steps into reality. We have so much more freedom. However, at the same time we also have a lot more responsibilities as well. I feel like going to college is allowing me to see what life is like without my mom and dad holding my hand all the time. It puts living on my own in little bite-sized capsules to slowly but surely associate myself into living somewhat by myself. Not only is college allowing me to grow in academia but also as a young man, maturing even further into adulthood.…
