Something Great about Being a College Student…

If you have to ask me what is something great being a college student. I would say one of the greatest things about being a college student is to be able to select my own schedule for classes. In high school, the schedule is always given to you. It is the regular five school days from eight in the morning to three tenths in the afternoon. In college, the schedule is choosen by students based on their time and convenience. College has more freedom than high school, but always keep in mind to manage time wisely.


  In my fall semester freshmen year, my schedule is mostly in the afternoon and late in the morning because I am not a morning person. I get to choose classes that are not in the early morning. That way I don’t have to worry that I will be late to class. Also, I choose four days classes from Monday to Thursday. On Thursday afternoon, I can go back home to spend the three days with my parents. Being able to choose my own schedule allows me to live in a lifestyle that I want.
 
The second greatest thing about being a college student is the connection to build huge network. In college, I have many awful opportunities to meet new people from different backgrounds. This will broaden my mindset and allow me to mix with people whom I would not have encountered in my high school. That being said, I have to step out my comfort zone and be friend with others whom may seem strange and too different from me. I have the opportunity to view from their perspective side. This might helps me to figure out in a way to improve myself. One of the ways to meet new friends is to join clubs and organizations either in college or around the community. There are over four hundreds student organizations at SJSU. In the next semester, I will consider to join a business related organization because I am in business major. I want to explore more on the subject. Making new friends can hold a last long connection in college and also in the rest of my life.
     
On the way of exploration in college, I have many chances to experience much more great things about being a college student. It’s just the matter of trying.
