What College is to me

What is college? College is described as an institution of higher education created to educate and grant degrees.Is that really all college is? No, I believe college is a new beginning, a new chapter in your life and one of the most important. It’s a new place where you create your future. A place where you meet new people and friends you’ll have forever. Yes, college consists of a lot of work and time management skills but it’s to better yourself and become the person you want to be. It’s to reach and achieve the goals you’ve had for yourself. Now’s the time these can be done. Getting an education so you can become what you’ve dreamed of.

There are fun things about college as well; getting involved with the community, going to sport events, going out on weekends, parties etc. If you commute to school like I do you can spend time at your friends dorms, and experience the other part of college life. College is being able to come out of your shell and to be yourself. You are starting off just like everyone else, not knowing to many people. Don’t be nervous about being yourself, people will accept whoever you are.

What I want to get out of Southern is a great education. I want to become a nurse, my dream sense I was little. Also I want to have a great experience with new people, and to have an amazing social life. Even though I commute I believe I can get involved at Southern and have the same experience as students who live on campus.
