Class Prompt #1

I found out quickly that college life was not quite what I had expected. No, it was in fact a much different experience. I was told that college would be one of two ways, either studying all the time, or partying all the time. The true life of a college student does of course include the occasional 'accidental' hitting of the snooze button and forgetting to set your alarm at night, staying up late into the night, or even morning for some. However, most students keep at least a little balance in their chaotic schedules. Homework is almost always done in time to hand in, even if its done right before class, the syllabus is usually followed quite closely. Friends will actually pass up hanging out in order to study for an upcoming test. Then there are the professors. I was told that professors could care less about a students success. This was far from the truth. Most teachers are very personable, interesting, and helpful. They are available after class if extra help is needed. Overall, college has turned out to be much better than I had expected.

  1. You are quite right I didn't know what to really expect by coming to college but I'm glad I finally made it.
