College man. College is honestly a scary place. As soon as you go to college you are responsible for yourself. They treat you like an adult which is a pretty scary concept when you are use to teachers talking to you like you are 5. If you don't turn in assignments the professors don't care because you are the one paying for it. That brings to an even BIGGER reason why college is not a good thing. I swear that place has one goal and one goal only: TO TAKE OUR MONEY. <--- Good reason not to go to college. Just Kidding. Everyone should go to college (just maybe not at WNCC unless your foreign then knock yourself out). Foreign people seem to love this college. Maybe it's because they aren't from here. I know a ton of people up there. I spend most of my time avoiding them. I didn't talk to them in high school and I don't want to talk to them now.
College is seriously not that bad. I just like to over exaggerate. I've learned a huge amount and met a ton of people in just the 1st semester. I've also already changed my major once. The worst class that a person will ever take is intro to information technology. If you are a technical person then take that class. If you are not a technical person like yours truly... It is a waste of time and money but yet somehow I managed to pull a B+ in that class so I guess that is pretty nifty. The best class I took this semester was psychology and I learned so much from my instructor. I decided ,through the course of his class, that I want to get a doctorate in Public health and another in Cross-Culture psychology.
I was honestly not prepared for college at all. I procrastinated a lot which often kept me up until 2-3 in the morning. I got really good at writing papers in a short amount of time. I one time had to do a WHOLE experiment and write a 5 page paper about it in 2 hours. I am not proud of it :( But I did manage to pull off a 90. Now... that 90... is something I am proud of. The grading system is something I forgot about quite frequently. I was use to 100-94 being an A and so on. In college they do this really cool thing where 100-90 is an A. How is that not the coolest thing ever? They give you 4 more points to get an A. Right on College makers. Right on.
No first semester of college is complete without a few mental break-downs. If you tell me that you went the first semester of college without:
1) the thought of dropping out
2) crying because you don't understand something or you are overwhelmed
3) wanting to pull your hair out
4) wanting to toss your computer out of the nearest window
I would tell you that you are lying. My friend ,Kesleigh, had an emotional break down every week for like a good six weeks. She one time even decided not to go to school at all for a week (can't say I blame her).
I really did make friends I didn't just sit at home, do homework, and cry about my life. I also got in trouble a lot. I got into a lot of fights with my mom. I even got grounded once... Like I'm a college student and my mom grounded me. Do you understand how uncool that makes me sound? " Hi. I'm Morgan Haberman. I'm a 19 year old college student and I'm grounded for a week." Smh! Don't be mean to your parents even if you are fed up with school... They can still ground you :( Since my mom will probably read this: Mom, I have better behaved and I totally understand why you did that :)
One thing to look forward in college... Basketball Players! Since it is Scottsbluff, we maybe have one or two hot players but other teams... Man the hot guys on other teams is ridiculous!!!
Well that is about of into this topic I am going to get considering it is break and Ain't nobody got time to talk about school. NOBODY!! Well Everyone reading this (all 2 and a half people. ) Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
