I allowed myself three snoozes before I opened my eyes to see the peak of the sun still rising. I shot a glance at my light blue uniform that rested on my dresser in despair when I realized‚ yet again‚ it was one of those Saturdays. Just like I had done the past Saturday morning‚ and like I would end up doing next Saturday morning‚ I would be dragging myself to another one of those soccer games today. I took a shower‚ got dressed in my outfit‚ and headed out of the house with a scowl on my face.

Going to college‚ and being successful while in college are two completely different things. As many may already know‚ college can be extremely difficult to excel in‚ while also being easy to mess up in.

During my senior year of high school I had the opportunity to shadow a cardiothoracic surgeon. He told me he would bring me into the operating room with him and I was excited to say the least. I spent the night before online searching for excerpts from other students who had chronicled their shadowing experiences‚ and I woke up the next morning ready to be out the door by 6am. With all my excitement I had forgotten to eat breakfast‚ and‚ as a result‚ 3 hours into a 6-hour long procedure the decreased

Running Experience The first question that was raised towards me went like this: “Why did you choose running?” The question proposed a lot of sense since there is a lot of PE options present in this university. My answer then holds until now. I answered that I wanted to be a bit sporty and to get way from fatness and near to fitness‚ and also to ditch laziness. I wanted a sport because I never did almost my entire life. And so I ventured running. Initially‚ I thought that it was going to be easy

The Unusual Experience It was the same bus I got onto every morning‚ but today‚ I fell asleep in the bus. When I woke up‚ I sensed something was unusual. The bus took me to a strange place that I had not seen before. Before I managed to ask the bus driver‚ it vanished. Wandering around aimlessly looking for anybody‚ the place seemed weird.
