I started my journey at Auburn University just 2 months ago. I remember all through high school being told that what I was doing in my high school years would prepare me for what I would face in college. However, I am here to tell you that although some seemed to be true, there was still so much I didn't know!
Here is my list of 10 reasons why I believe college is different than high school!
1. High school courses do not prepare you for the critical thinking skills you will need in a college course.
2. It's not a myth: If you don't watch yourself, you WILL gain the Freshman 15.
3. You can reinvent yourself.
4. Classes will get cancelled.
5. You will miss how easy it was for you to get from class to class.
6. Go to class as much as you can; some of them will be optional and you will fail if you don't go.
7. The food at college is a 100x better than high school lunch.
8. Professors will not hand out your homework; it is now on you completely to read and study every night.
9. In college, if you want to have a social life, you have to be actively social (going out of your way to be social).
10. There are so many more opportunities to get involved in college; make sure to take advantage of that, but don't spread yourself to thin.
