You are done with high school and are now in college or university as a freshman. What do you do? Will life be chill throughout your years in this new place? Will you have 3 classrooms of friends? Will campus life be fantastically memorable? Will everything fall into place like a perfect puzzle? Well at least that’s what all of us hope for. But the truth is, if you do not play your cards right, things may backfire and your college or university life may very well be your worst nightmare.
First, I want to have a great campus life, I have to start by interacting with people. Introduce myself to my classmates during my Economics class. Be approachable by swapping e-mail addresses and hand phone numbers. It’s simple. Always remember that all my classmates are around the same age as me. However, be very alert of people who want to be friends with me. There are many characters out there who want to mix with me for their personal advantage.
A guaranteed way to meet people of similar interests is to register myself with a club. Every college has popular clubs. Joining the Performing Arts Club in my university could be ideal way for me to continue me obsession with public speaking, meet dozens of people who share me passion.
The golden principle of sustaining a good campus life is to be myself. Noting is more evident to other that when someone who is putting on a show trying to impress others or be someone he or she isn’t. Having said all of the above, campus life can be a foreboding time if me cards right. The task of making friends in this new daunting environment can be quite challenging. To make it worse, our parents always remind us to focus on our grades and worry about our social life later. But truth is, as important as our academic achievements are, college is also about experiencing our independence and being the person me really want to be.
In conclusion, being a freshman is no time to stay indoors. Of course, it does not mean that I must neglect my studies.
