Why My Freshman Year of College Changed The Type Of Person I am

The amazing professors make a point to talk to you. And then there are thoseprofessors, the ones that see something in you and make sure they get to speak to you about it. These are indeed a rare breed and, not including my Honors profs, I have only had one of them. But let me tell you, he was amazing.

People don’t usually go to class in pajamas. Contrary to popular belief, students really don’t just show up for classes in pajamas and junk. I know, and I was just as disappointed as you are now. Most actually dress up somewhat nice. Then there are those like me who really don’t care how we look; never can go wrong with shorts and a t-shirt.

You will pull an all-nighter and you will regret it. You will probably end up staying awake all night to finish some unexpected report or complete a project that you have procrastinated on. And when you finally finish it, you’ll be ecstatic. You’ll feel like you can conquer the world. Until you start getting ready for your next class; that’s when you get so so sleepy. You’re nodding your head every 5 minutes in class. You can’t remember the last thing the prof said to you. But hey, at least that report is done.

If people pity you, you could get free stuff. My first week of college, I decided not to bring an umbrella or even a rain jacket. So like second day of class it’s flooding. I have no choice but to run out in the rain and hope for the best. As I’m walking to the library where my class was, a faculty member saw me and offered her umbrella to me. She said she got it from the lost-and-found and didn’t need it anymore. I still have that umbrella.
