High school seemed like yesterday, which would really be the case. It had been weeks since your first day in college, still looking at your selfies with your new friends. You always looked forward to it, a ritual that went back to your sophomore year (in high school). You may have adjusted to collegiate life, but it didn't take you long to find out that there would be similarities between high school and college. The long hours of paper writing should be one (of those things), which made you isolated at times. If you could have extra time for other things. And you dread the succession of assignments after the (Thanksgiving) holiday. You had high hopes for your first year in college, as this was supposed to be THE time of your life. However, you scaled down after you figured out that you wouldn't meet the expectations. Did you overlook something? Did you fall short in a particular field? Did you realize it too late? Let's look at the questions closely. Sleep would be your priority until someone invited you to a party. Making new friends in minutes was so much fun, but you wondered about the morning lecture the following day (or the day after next). You joined a group, even wishing that the members could stay in one house. A headache, which could be traced to late-night studying and lack of sleep, reminded you of why you wanted to go to college. It seemed like you aren't getting your priorities straight, which won't be a good sign at this early stage of the term. You won't be dreading it, which would be another matter. How about spending some time alone? No books and computer to distract you. Think of what you look forward to the school year. Why You Must Love the Collegiate Life
