That First week

As we leave high school we are expected to move on to a new school, with new people, and new teachers.  Life as a college student is a completely different life then life as a high school student.  You are given freedom and don’t have to follow as much rules as you do as when you are in high school.  When you come here though you are going for the same reason you have always gone to school, to further your education hoping that it will pay off for you and get you a job you will love.  Now as a student though you are here to be a college student and enjoy the experience as a student.  It’s your first time being on your own and  you can choose what to do and when to do it, you’re more responsible and it’s up to you to make the right choices.  Just some of the goals I want to accomplish as a student here at Southern is to become involved in the campus and go out of my comfort zone which is one of the things they told us to do at orientation.   I hope that I have a great experience here at Southern and I can only get the best education by doing my best work in all classes and work my butt off at everything I do.  Not only do I want to focus on school, but I want to have fun and enjoy the campus life as a resident here.  Join clubs and do as many activities that would be fun and interesting to me.  I cannot wait for this college experience to start.
