    For many High School graduates, applying to college is a daunting adventure where new opportunities, relationships, and knowledge are ready to be explored. As a new freshman, I was not ready to succumb to the possibility of becoming a poltroon in this new and exciting world. I was ready to thrust myself into college with the adherence and prowess that most students lacked when they finished high school.…

    In high school, I always considered myself a good student. I payed attention in class, took notes, and genuinely took interest in my education. As a college student, I have tried to do the same thing. Of course, college is not quite the same as high school, and I have not always gotten the near-perfect results I used to expect. While I am working on my perfectionism as a separate issue, I am glad to take this opportunity to learn more about how to succeed in college. Three strategies I learned in this chapter include how to better prepare before class, how to review after class, and how to improve my note-taking strategies.…

    After my first quarter I had completed all of my high school graduation requirements, so the classes I took were very impactful and out of the STEM field that I am usually in. It also made me more thankful for my education, since I was opting for those classes and professors. Moving forward, I plan on continuing school past a 4 year degree, so that I can go after my prefered career (doing research in behavioral neuroscience), I trust that when that time comes I will be ready, and I am glad to have that outlook on my life.…

    Throughout every college experience there are two sides to every story. The text made me realize, through vivid examples that I remember learning when I was younger, such as the gods and the giants, something that I have been told since I was young. That I have to always think twice before I think say or do anything.…

    Back in 2012 I was accepted into Early college academy at south-ridge (ECAS). This school is particularly special because it allows high school students to take dual credit courses in a community college. Obtaining high grades in my classes while also being required to do my best was something I always had trouble with. I was the the type of person who didn't mind a 70 when it came to report cards, until I found out colleges didn't like students with low grades or at least with low performance like me. My freshman year I made the decision to improve my grades and become a better student.…

    It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house, going to school with the same kids, and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the United States, in reality the only world I’ve ever known is the same one I have spent my whole life in. I have loved growing up in Northwest Oklahoma City with the friends that have helped shaped me into who I am today, however I relished the opportunity…

    This class has been an experience to which I am thankful for. I believe this class should continue to be a must for all incoming freshman here at Concordia. By taking this class I learned so many things about how to successfully adapt from high school classes to college courses. Every day in your class was a new day for me to learn about how to prepare and plan for success for not only the next four years, but also for the rest of my life. The great thing about transitions though, is that I was about to meet so many great new people in my life. With all the interacting done between people in the class, I was able to talk and have conversations with everybody…

    Starting your freshman year of college is a really, really terrifying moment. You go from being in a place where you are totally comfortable to being in a new place full of new people you have yet to get to know. And for every single freshman, it’s especially harder for any number of personal reasons. When I first got to Williams I often wondered if I really belonged here at all—was I smart enough, talented enough, educated enough? As I got closer to my JAs and my entrymates, I began to overcome my insecurity and learned that I could and did belong at Williams. I want to be a JA because I want to give a group of freshman the same support and confidence that my JAs instilled in me. I want to be able to work with a group of my peers and my…

    Last year during fall I become an incoming freshman at Austin Community College. I remember how excited and nervous I was to finally start college. I wasn't sure what to expect. For one thing, I was excited to meet new people and to make new friends. But for the other part I was nervous because I was going to start my first semester taking developmental classes. In a way I got discouraged I didn't want anyone thinking that I was dumb. Development classes are there to help us improve our performance on exams, to refresh and better understand the material we learned in high school. But i didn't see it like that, I saw it more as a bad thing.…

    My first year at York University was a very difficult one due to circumstances that significantly hurt my ability to perform in school. During this time I could not work to the best of my ability because of problems at home that involved both of my parents. My parents would argue almost every single day and this affected me emotionally and mentally. These issues slowly began when I was in the twelfth grade, and then progressed rapidly throughout my first year at York University which affected all the courses that I attended that year. I also left many extracurricular activities such as coaching and tutoring because of these problems at home. I was under an immense amount of stress, and most importantly I was scared during these times. It was…
