Me and The University

College is another chapter in my life.  The idea of college has taught me that I am no longer a kid.  I now live on my own and have to make my own decisions.  My parents are no longer here to tell me what is right and what is wrong.  I have to make those choices on my own.  Academically I am  going to have to put in a lot of time if i want to do well.  Senior year I gave about 75% in my classes, and did pretty well.  If I give 75%  in college I will do awful.

A lot of students at this university come from big towns and have multiple friends here at Southern. I come from a small town in the northwest corner of Connecticut. So there are not a lot of people from my school at Southern.  So I am pretty much starting without knowing anybody.  Because of this I am looking forward to going to class.  It is a good environment to meet new people and make new friends.  

I have always set my goals very high.  I hate failing because I feel like I am not only letting myself down, but I am letting other down.  So by setting my goals higher it cause me to put in more effort and try my hardest.  The only thing I can ask for out of myself, is that I try my hardest.  If I do not do well then I guess college is not right for me.  However I do not believe this will be the case.  I know if I put my mind to it i can accomplish anything.
