Time goes by quickly, too fast sometimes and with it
Time goes by quickly, too fast sometimes and with it comes changes. I am very much the type of person that struggles through having to do things differently. It is not because I like to do the same old things, but because changes interfere with my plans. Two changes I have gone through were my life in high school and my life in college. Since I started college everything seems unclear to me. I still cannot get used to the idea that I have grown. I have problems readapting from one place to the other, especially if the place is completely new to me. These two places are pretty much alike; but they are also different.

For instance, they are both founded with the same purpose of educating young adults. They are both educational places. High school prepares you to move on to college. College prepares you to get a career. High school teaches us the skills to become good readers, good listeners and good note takers. College does the same but it also teaches us how to apply it to our lives. When I attended high school I did all the things I now do in college, but on a different level. Now as before I have to get up, get ready and listen to my teachers. I have to be attentive, cooperative and dedicated. I might have to do many of the same things but college is much more harder.

When I attended high school I learned a lot of things. Computers, math, English, science, history, it was a full schedule. School opened at 8:00 a.m. and closed at 2:00 p.m. After school I always found time to go out with friends and then do my homework. I liked going to high school. When I missed one day of school I was confused for that entire day. In high school the work was easy. We had simple quizzes, undemanding homework and caring teachers. I found many sweet, responsible teachers that took from their own lunchtime to help me with any question I had. My high school teachers did not have offices where we could go and talk to them. When we really needed them, they took their lunch hours or

    Once I am out of the house, living on my own and experiencing new thing; I know that I will have to make some changes to my daily life if I was to juggle the tasks presented. I know I will have to improve my time management and organizational skills but I believe those things will be very doable. Since my freshmen year, I know I have changed in many different ways. I am able to handle a greater work load, defiantly less shy, and have a better idea of what’s on in both the school and around the world. Now comparing my junior year self to my senior year self, I see few yet significate changes. Last year, I was focused but at a different level that I am this year. A majority of my focus senior year has been spent trying to get into colleges, complete scholarships, and try not to completely stress out! Last year, my focus was more on my schoolwork and less on my life outside of high school. Although, senior year I still have been focused on schoolwork a majority of it has been on my online college…

    One major difference I found in college and school life is freedom of students. School have a lot of rules to be obeyed, example hair should be tied up neatly, students have to wear particular school uniform, and shoes should be white. In the case of college there is only fewer rules to be obeyed. We don't have to wear uniform to attend lecture and classes. On another hand school life has lot of fun and happiness. We got lot of innocent friends and free of tension, burden. College life is not very much cherished, because there is always a pressure on you to go for employment from the moment you…

    Going into freshman year, I thought high school seemed like the coolest thing to have ever happened. I walked the hallways with students who were practically a head taller than I was. Sports became a big deal, and school spirit became an essential part of life. As a freshman student, although part of the high school student body, I was still…

    Starting high school was a terrifying idea to me. Different teachers, class times, lockers, drama! I remember that I always looked up to my older sister while she was in high school. She had tons of friends, played sports, participated in student government, and went out for the school play. I wanted to be just like her when I started high school. In middle school, I lined myself up for this, I played soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter. I helped out in the school plays, and I joined the student government. I had a group of great friends, and thought nothing bad was going to happen.…

    High school classes might have seemed better in the past compared to college. You might feel more comfortable in smaller classes than you would heading off to university, but that is simply from the comfort of your surroundings. You are familiar with your teachers and your closest friends are always by your side. This might create a friendlier environment, but branching away from the only things you have ever known will help you grow as an individual. Leaving home to start your life as an adult can be tough; however, learning every day responsibilities and making new relationships are two things that will benefit anyone who is getting ready to enter the “real world.” Students benefit more from college classes over high school classes because they learn responsibilities and create new relationships which help them to gain independence.…

    I remember my first days of high school were the worst. Everything that awaited me was circling in my head. The smell of old textbook, strict teachers, and loud crowds gave me a headache. I wanted out as soon as possible. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fun person, very talkative, but at school I’m truly shy and simply miserable. I felt extremely overwhelmed to say the least.…

    I see high school as deeper work, more responsibility, and more homework. The teachers are a lot harder on you. In high school, you get more freedom than in middle school because you’re older. There is harder work because the standards are higher. There is more responsibility because the teachers think you can do it and you have to keep up with more books and stuff.…

    Middle school and high school has been a very interesting experience for me. It has definitely been one exciting, yet scary, roller coaster. Overall, I feel like I have been equipped for not only college, but also life as a whole. School has taught me many things, both academically and emotionally. It has revealed my true colors, both good and bad, and as a result, has molded me into who I am today.…

    I experienced new circumstances that I never had to deal with. On the first day, I heard people talking about the drugs they were going to do after school at the local gas station. Those conversations were not rare. High school opened up to experiences to me. I walked in not knowing a single soul. All my lifelong friends went to the local private high schools. Because of my family’s situation, I had to go to the public school in town. This school is one of the largest in the area. My graduating class had around seven hundred students. I went from a tiny middle school where I knew everyone, to this giant high school where I didn’t know a single person. I was forced to grow up. I had to come out of my shell and make new friends. Suddenly being on my own made me realize I was not a child anymore. I took this information and made the best of it. I learned how to be a leader in my community. I was no longer naïve to the world. These new surroundings opened my eyes to the real…
