When I first started college, I was nervous but also excited about this new chapter of my life. On my first day of classes, I was happy to meet so many friendly students. We introduced ourselves and talked about where we were from and what we wanted to study. Over the next few weeks, I adjusted to my schedule of classes and activities. I enjoyed living in the dorms because there was always something social going on and I made many new friends. My classes were interesting too. The professors were engaging and passionate about their subjects. Though the workload was challenging at times, I learned so much from lectures, discussions, and assignments. Outside class, I joined a college soccer team and took part in campus events. I will never forget the feeling of independence and personal growth I experienced in that first year of college. Though difficult at times, it was a period of discovery finding my own way in the world.
