College Life

I have always been excited to come to the US since I was in high school. I thought that if I would live by my own and be independent, it would be fun and easy. However, it wasn’t easy. In fact, it was very hard, and I would feel home sick sometimes. I have learned a lot being in college. For example, you can really know who your real friends are from situations like are they there for you when you needed to go to the hospital in the middle of the night, be there when you’re sad and try to cheer you up or be happy for you for some great achievement you did. Unfortunately, I didn’t get lucky at all with friends when I first got into college. Most of them where filled with jealousy and hypocrisy. They would talk behind your back. Luckily, when I came to Dayton, I have met such a lovely group and they are my close friends now. You can also learn from college life that you have to sometimes keep it together when your semester doesn’t go well and think positive and do your best. College life have taught me how to be responsible and how to take care of myself. College life have taught me to finish my homework and try to sleep early. Because if I didn’t get enough sleep, I won’t be able to concentrate the next day. College life have taught me how to think out of the box. I know 10 years from now, I would miss college, remember all the fun things I did with my friends, and wish that I could go back in time and feel young. However, all I think about right now is my graduation and going back home to my family.
