I've been in college for a week now. Right off the back, here's what I noticed in the differences between high school & college!
•In High School, you don't pay!
•In College, you pay for Everything! (Books, lab supplies, school supplies, online access codes)
•In High School, you have friends that you've known for a long time,
•In College, you are pretty much forced to make new friends. (I legit have no desire to make new friends but that's probably just me)
•In High School, the food is the same, often repeated meals.
•In College, the food is really good (idk maybe it's just me!?)
•In High School, school spirit can be lame.
•In College, school spirit is Everything.
•In High School, your parents do everything.
•In College, you're on your own! (Idk I like doing my own laundry...)
•In High School, you have 7 classes a day!
•In College, you choose your classes!
•In High School, classes start at 7/8 a.m.
•In College, classes start the latest depending on what you want! (Hallelujah!)
•In High School, you have classes with people your age.
•In College, you have classes with and meet people that are older & younger!
In public high schools, it's free for students (ehh taxes) & it's so easy to take that education for granted. High school was an amazing experience (though at times stressful bc of classes), and I'm thankful to have graduated from a great high school.
In college, you pay thousands of dollars but you also get access to better food, gyms, events, sports, and you can meet so much more people! You try to get your money's worth in the classes you take!
This first week of college has been a blast with professors giving mostly introductory information & I really really don't want to actually start learning really intense stuff in my classes yet...
11:10 ;)
