So I am almost don't with my first real week of college classes. Everything has kind of been a blur since I've gotten here. 

In high school I was in a class of no more than 20, and now my classes are held in stadium seating theaters with upwards of 200 people.  I now see how, if not properly prepared by parents and high school experiences, one could easily get behind on schoolwork.  It's all up to me now.  No due dates, no weekly notebook checks, no study guides, just papers and exams.

For the first week, I've made sure to stay up with the reading and go to all my classes, but, unfortunately, I worry about my ability to keep it up.  The classes are hard just by themselves, but, unlike high school, I have to worry about class while at the same time adjusting to life on my own and making new friends.

Luckily, from what I've heard from my high school buddies, they're going through the same thing.  I guess it's a right of passage in the college life.  Until next time…
