Nudity and Alpha Phi Omega
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.
Just like this guy in the pic… the symbol of the University of the Philippines - the Oblation. He is naked for truth. Arms wide-spread in accepting knowledge. And looking up seeking guidance from the One above. Oh yeah, a fraternity in my university also mimics (legally) the 'nakedness' of our symbol. Every 16 December, the anniversary of Alpha Phi Omega fraternity, they hold oblation runs. I don't want to put links here, so you better go ahead and discover what oblation run is about. Please search at your own risk.

The Next Step by Alvin John ~AJ~

After spending around 7 months of my life without education, here i am moving from secondary school life to college life. Honestly, I'm still not used to college life. I really miss my crazy buddies from my hometown and all the fun-filled adventures we used to do together. Now that all of us have gone our separate ways, it is really difficult to have a 'get-together'. The only way is to carry on and let the times we had together be memories.
I'm from the city of Johor Bahru and i was all set to study, just across the causeway, at the island country of Singapore when my dad suddenly said "Let's go and check out Taylor's University since they are having their Open Day." But few days before the Open Day, unfortunately, i got into a motorcycle

    In high school there are people we know because we either know them personally or have been attending the same school district together for years. This causes friendships to form and becoming close with one another. Friendships make humans feel happy and have a sense of belonging. However, when most people go off to college they feel alone at first. The reason being is because they are in a different environment with people they haven’t meet before. It’s even more difficult if you aren’t a sociable person. Also another difference is in high school you have to take the required courses in order to graduate.…

    : 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…

    One day, while I was laying peacefully on my bed, my mother came in with a letter from Florida A&M University. I didn't really want to speculate anything because a few days before I received a letter from another college saying that I wasn't accepted. Nevertheless I was still excited when I opened it and even more so when I read that I had been accepted. So without much hesitation I packed up and headed to Tallahassee. When I arrived my mother and I took care of registration and a plethora of things you have to manage as a new student. After all the hassles of college registration were completed my mother departed for home and I was left by myself to attend college. What a great feeling! Little did I know what I had on store for the next day, my first in college.…

    College really matures everyone. Sure, there are super crazy parties and extreme activities, but students become much more mature. Of course there are always people who make not-so-smart decisions, but there isn’t really bullying like there was in high school and elementary school. People don’t seem to judge other people based on where they come from, their interests, hobbies, etc. When most people around you are more mature, then everyone stops trying to impress everyone. In high school, most people wasted their time trying to impress people who would never actually like them for who they are. It is said that in college, you find yourself as an individual. You learn so much about yourself when away from home. By a college student’s senior year, they are a different person than when they walked onto the campus as a freshman. College helped them grow and develop as more responsible and mature adults.…
