Personal Narrative: My Learning Experience At Community College

However, not everything was always peaches and cream. The good does come with the bad. Although I immensely relished learning psychology, I can say without a doubt what I least liked about my learning experience was all the stress that I felt. College is supposed to be no cakewalk, I know, but the stress certainly took me by surprise. I didn’t expect to have so much due in such a small period of time. For example, I recall near the end of the 3rd semester at community college I had three major papers due all within a few days of each other. Although I had completed most of the work for each paper, it still didn’t feel like I would complete them in time. It just didn’t feel like there were enough hours in the day to do everything that needed
to be done. I have to make sure I do this and do that, that needs to be revised and that needs to be sent in by 11:59 pm. Stress is important to make sure you are doing what you have to do, but when it becomes slightly detrimental where you feel like your whole life is on a temporary time crunch. This didn’t fully detract from my learning experience at college, believe me, but that is what I least enjoy about it.

Overall, I take the good with the bad for my learning experience. I can honestly say I learned a lot during my time at school, especially about my major. I have immense knowledge about psychology and its application to the real world. I also discovered that I like sociology as well, something I never knew about myself. Even though I didn’t enjoy all the stress that accompanied my learning experience, I still wouldn’t trade in my experiences, positive and negative, for anything in the world.
