Some dread it, while others have been looking forward to it for
years. Some have had their lives in order and major picked out for years, while
others are unsure of their path and have changed their major two or three
times. For some, it’s the beginning of a chapter and their first step into the
next four years. For others, it’s their first step into finishing their final
chapter. College can be a different experience for many students. Some students
spend their time partying and focusing on their social life while some are
finishing up their final few semesters, and are getting ready to embark on the
next chapter in their lives.
“Right now college seems really fun. I’ve been partying a lot, and
have been going out with friends. So far it’s been great,” Beth Luder, freshman
at Avila University, said.
While parts of college can be fun, many parts of it can also bring
many sleepless nights, stress, and anxiety. It may just be tests and grades,
but it’s what determines your future. The pressure and strain that can come
along with it can sometimes be overbearing. Trying to balance sleep, grades,
and a social life is never easy.
“I’m only a sophomore but I’m already stressing out. I’m a nursing
major, and I do love it, but it’s also a lot of hard work and it’s a huge
commitment,” Blaire Collins, sophomore at the University of Missouri, said.
Someday, the sleepless nights and endless studying will be more than
worth it. And no matter what it may bring, college accounts for many
unforgettable memories. With the 2014 Fall semester starting, many memories are
waiting to be made. Whether they’re negative or positive, they’ll stick with us
for the rest of our lives.
