When people ask me "So how do you like college so far?" my first reaction is almost always to say something along the lines of "Pretty good." and then follow up with a comment about the difference in school populations.
I'm really happy with the independence of college life, but, quite frankly, I'm disappointed with college itself. So far it just seems like an overly glorified high school. Maybe it's just first semester/year so I don't get to take the courses I'm really interested in... maybe I'm just kinda pissed that UGS courses are now required and I feel like it's a complete waste of my time. Yeah. I took 2 semesters of college English and wrote 1 paper every 1 to 2 weeks thank you very much. I also made a 97 average in that class. So why do I have to prove myself all over again? ugh, I feel rather disgruntled/pissed/really unexcited about my UGS class. and then there's Latin.
Maybe I'm just not cut out for college. I think I could do well in my classes, and I feel that if I don't finish at least 4 years I will be rather disappointed in myself. I'm not sure if I'll like it though. They never teach you anymore that maybe there are options besides going to college.
I think what I'm feeling right now is just a combination of home sickness and disappointment in what I've gotten out of my classes so far. I'm optimistic that it will get better... I just don't really see so far what all of my teachers were making such a big deal about. I'm getting stressed out and I don't like it. epiphany- I haven't experienced an un-stressful part of college yet. From starting the application process on. My test schedules are unclear as is what the tested material might be. I suppose that is to be expected though... I just haven't gotten used to it yet. I'm just not INTERESTED.
I'm still feeling optimistic that once I get the hang of things it will get better. I'm pretty good at waiting.
