Recommended: Easy on transitioning from high school into college

Although I am a freshman, UGA is not that foreign to me. My sister just recently graduated in May of 2015. Because of this, it has allowed me to have a personal mentor in getting familiar with the campus and different activities being held on campus. So far I have loved my time here at UGA, with its beautiful campus, unlimited admission to dining halls, and variety of activities to get involved with. College has exceeded what my expectations were coming from high school. However, the process of becoming a Bulldog was not as smooth as I was hoping it would have been. High school, for me, was a time where I began to discover who I am. I became more invested in my studies and started to realize my interests. As a result, I began to contemplate possible careers. Biology was a subject that I enjoyed immensely in high school, therefore I decided to major in Cellular Biology. I also have a passion to help people, and I would love to become a doctor one day. The plan seemed simple enough, however, when the time came to transition to a college student, I …show more content…

Since my orientation was so early, I dreaded waiting two whole months before I became an official UGA Bulldog. I spent a majority of the summer thinking about everything UGA had to offer. Whether it was UGA football games or all the different clubs, the thought of all this proceeded to increase my excitement, but the 11th seemed forever away. Finally after what seemed to be a long two months, the 11th came and I was absolutely ready to start my journey here at UGA. Now that I am an official Bulldog, I have been loving every second of it. UGA has so much to offer to me as a student, and I cannot wait to see where this amazing university will leads me. High school was an important time of my life, but I have a feeling I am going to join those who say “college is the best time of your

    My first two weeks on campus were great. When I first walked on to the campus, it felt very foreign like I was in another country. I didn’t feel connected yet and still felt like a visitor. Most of the time I didn’t know exactly where I was going and of course, I didn’t want to look like a freshman. Eventually, I did find where I was going, after going to Cajun connection.

  • UNCW Personal Statement

    224 Words  | 1 Pages

    The main component I look for in college is their commitment to further my studies. I feel this college will provide an ingenious culture within the science field, therefore rendering myself with the building blocks necessary to later pursue the medical field. Not only does UNCW devote itself towards their student’s undergraduate years, but also by providing Professional pathways such as Pre-Medicine, students such as myself can go into Professional schools better prepared. In addition to my interest in the academics the school has to offer, I also marvel at the amount of extracurricular activities available to the student body. One student organization in particular is the Greek Life. When my mother attended this school, she was an avid member

    It has been a great year. I can truthfully say this is my favorite year of college. And you all made that possible. 9B is the best floor.

  • The Loss of Innocence- Personal Narrative

    At the outset of college, orientation, I was not so thrilled. Number one because Mason likes most everyone else was my second choice. I had hope to get into UVA but I knew my grade point average went to *censored* my senior year and it wasn't going to happen. So here I am sitting I the theater in the basement of Johnson Center listening to some old guy, whose brown suede jacket and bright pink shirt are making me dizzy, go on and on about the honor code. Don't cheat, gees that's a new concept. The night finished up with some cheesy get to know you class dance and sleeping in the dorms at Wilson. Ah the smell of stagnant air that had not been circulated in four months. Combine that with a super soft sinking mattress and one can image the kind of sleep I got. It made staying home and working at Wal-Mart looking more and more like a wise career move.

    I have to admit that I will not look fondly on my high school career. I spent most of my study time going out with my friends. I felt that I was paying my dues with the eight hours of boredom that began most of my days. Until now there were only a few classes that I enjoyed. In retrospect, I believe that it was my inability to choose the classes I took which resulted in my lack of enthusiasm on the ride to school each morning.

  • Choosing UNF: A Pathway to Criminal Justice

    787 Words  | 2 Pages

    The second I stepped onto the campus, I knew that it was where I wanted to be and I felt like I was at home. The atmosphere felt friendly and family-like, the campus and the surrounding area was beautiful, academics are amazing, and the athletics and their facilities are great. The most appealing of these factors to me was the outstanding criminal justice program. This really caught my eye because my long-term goal after college is to work in the criminal justice field as a criminal investigator or a crime scene investigator. Not only does UNF have a great criminal justice program with outstanding professors that were, at one point, in the criminal justice field, but they also have great ties with the FBI and Jacksonville Sheriffs Office,

    I have had several friends who graduated from UNCW and they have all said great things about the college. I am a local to brunswick county and so I am very familiar with UNCW and it is very convenient for me to take classes here. I love the atmosphere at the college. I think that the college has such a great reputation for being a family and I would love to be a part of that. One of the major reasons I have decided to pursue this college is because I have had help with a million questions of mine since the first time I emailed Dr. Hengameh Kermani. She knew that I was not yet a student here but nevertheless she has not stopped helping me. She has given me many tips and links to where I can find the answers to my questions. Knowing that she is a busy lady but she has been taking the time to help me, makes me see that she truly cares about people and loves the program. I absolutely love dedicated teachers like her, which is the reason why I have chosen this profession and major.

    So throughout this semester I have learned more than I thought about myself. I have learned about my skills, values, strengths, weaknesses and goals for the future. I have learned about what motivates me to be in college and what keeps me here now that I am here. I have learned what it takes to keep myself healthy and prepared to what is to come while also preparing myself for what I want to do in the future. I have also learned without all the great people here at Ohio University that I would never have the opportunity to be as happy as I am today. I am seriously proud to be a bobcat and I would have it no other way.
