So this being my first blog I thought what better to blog about than starting a new chapter in my life. Coming out of high school and going to college I feel like I lost part of myself, but gaining something new! Being put in the scary situation of learning a new school all over again is terrifying. Not to mention going into this experience alone does not make the situation any better.
The feelings of being scared can also be replaced with excitement of starting something new. When going to school the only change I had was going from elementary school to junior high and the to high school. These twelve years of being in the same building can begin to get boring. Not to mention having the same classmates can get old, not being able to meet new people. So the positive experience is stepping out into a new building and meeting new people. With this new experience I hope I learn to love this school as much as my other school and meet friends along the way!
Overall having mixed feelings about replacing the old with the new is hard, but I feel like this will turn into great new memories! Looking back on my old memories will be great, but being able to have the experience of starting new ones in a new place with other people is great too. Ways I hope to make new memories is by having new teacher, new classmates, and other things that may come into my life. I hope others feel the same about getting rid of the old and bringing in the new!
I know how you feel. I am a post-secondary student and the fact that I was not going to go to high school at all my senior year worried me a little bit. The kids I went to school with the past 12 years are not going to be there for me to laugh with and be comfortable around. Even though I am a pretty easy-going, talkative person I still worry about not making friends. It is hard going into a place where you know no one. But on the other hand I loved the fact that I was not going to know many people and they did not know me or my past. It is a fresh start and it is nice. I love that no one is worried about your past or what you are doing. Everyone in college seems to be more worried about themselves because they actually have things to do. In high school it seemed like no one had anything to do besides be in your business. College is going to be an experience I think I am going to enjoy quite a bit. It is nice to be one step closer to what you want to do for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteI also had mixed feelings about starting college! I am definitely a home-town kind of person, I don't like what I am not used to. Yes I agree that being in the same building for so long began to be rather boring for me, but I did not want to leave the circle of friends I had grown up with. I spent everyday learning, laughing, and being around them every single day for years. Now I realize that just because I am not around them in class, I still get to see them! I also realize that I am making new friends that are just as enjoyable to be around. I am really enjoying this new daily grind of mine. "Out With the Old, in With the New" is a perfect title!
