Going so far away and staying focused...most definately!! Cuz i'm going to Hampton (i think) next year and i live on the west coast, so i'm going to be really far from home (however, my uncle lives in MD and i have a cousin at Howard) Also, i go to an almost all white and asian shool (you can count the black seniors on your hands), so it's gonna be a big change. Anyone have any advice on how to make the transition easier cuz i have to maintain a 3.3 & is anyone going to Hampton
i just hope that i dont' get distracted from my work cause i got to keep my grades up... i know that college is goin to be crazy with the parties, the club and all the other stuff that i'm tryin to get in...i just hope i stay focused cause i'm tryin to get a scholarship and if i do i hope i keep it...but i know i will have fun and get my work done...hopefully
My three biggest concerns would be dorm life because I don't know what to expect and I hope I get along well with my roommate. I am use to having my own room, but I will adjust fine with sharing a room. Money will be an issue, but I know everything will work out. Time management is a concern for me because with high school I'm use to doing my work or studying for a test at the last minute and getting As and Bs. I know I will have to have a good schedule for doing my work when I need to and getting it done ahead of time.
From the poll Iguess my biggest concern would be... makin friends. I am a friendly person. I am that person that has to make the cashier smile. But i have my ways. :? When I get around a lot of people I get kinda quiet sumtimes. :?: :?: I dunno. I dont wanna be a fool and cpome off looking carzy...ya know :?:
Being distracted by all of the commotion and hype that comes along with College life...parties, people, friends, sororities, fraternities etc., everything except for school work :!: Basically forgetting the real and true reason I am there....
Most def. except on the school work i'm known for waiting until the last minute but i'm trying to grt out of that :wink:
mane, i would have to say the academic pressure and being able to handle all the work given to me. it might be a lil tough to adjust and focus..but i'm sure the majority of freshmen go through their first year adjusting to everything so i guess its expected.
Ima have to say its a tie between livin on my own away from home and makin new friends..I mean Im ji goofy but at the same time Im very shy around certain folks ya know..and then the thing wit livin away from home..its jus me and my mom and Im used to always bein round her..its goin be hard but Ima get over it 8)
I'll say my biggest concern is making new friends because I'm a shy person and I've always had my twin to talk to, and I've never been away from her for more than a day, and we're going to separate colleges so that's going to be a problem.
I am that person that has to make the cashier smile.
