[nabs-l] College classes Vs. High School classes

[Kirt Manwaring]

Homberto,
  College is so much better than High School.  Especially if you live
on campus/close to campus and not at home.  People are so much
more...friendly than they were in high school.  Not that high
schoolers are usually mean...but I felt like in high school lots of
people were lots more worried about their image and how they looked to
other people than they are in college.  So...lots of parties, lots of
fun, lots of nice people.  At least in my experience.  Student life,
especially for me here in the dorms, is fantastic.  I've been in the
dorms ever since this school year started...and I've not had this much
fun before.  Ever.
  A word of caution though.  Social life's funner, work's a lot
harder.  Don't do what I did and treat your first semester like high
school.  Work is a lot more tense, professors are generally a l9ot
less leniant than high school teachers.  And noone's there making you
go to class, so it's all on you.  In high school, I pretty much just
coasted through, did a little bit of studying and ended up with a 3.6.
 You can't do that in college- the work is a lot more rigorous, takes
longer, and...if you don't study, you'll probably have a lot harder
time passing tests than you would've if you blew off homework in high
school.  Do your work (even when it takes really really long and you
want to go to that party that sounds so fun), do it well...get a
system down for the hard things that aren't as accessible, and keep in
touch with your campus disability services center.  If you do all
those things, you're gonna be fine.  And you can have a hell of a time
while you're at it.
  Good luck,
Kirt
