Attending a community college is one of the best options a student fresh out of high school can make. It allows you to save money and have an easier transition to the next step of your life as your guidance counselor has probably told you 100 times over. But one of the down falls is when it comes time to transfer. Only being a transfer student for almost a week I've learned a few of them already..
1. It's hard to make friends
Coming into a new school as a Junior is hard. I'm not going to lie I thought this would be so easy. I had so many friends at my old school so I thought this would be a breeze. But turns out its a lot harder than one would expect. The people your age have been with their group of friends for two years already, it's hard to just easily transition into a part of that. And then the new kids are all freshman and taking on college for the first time so they wanna drink and stay up till 3/4 in the morning when they have a 9 am the next day. Let's be real I'm too much of a grandma for that.
2. Finding your classes is a challenge
Just give yourself an extra 30 minutes when leaving for class in the morning so you can figure out where the hell Faculty Center is.
3. You'll spend a lot of time on Facetime with your old friends
I JUST MISS YOU, OKAY?
4. It's okay to eat alone
You'd be surprised how many other people eat alone too. Plus maybe you'll even meet a friend that way.
5. You'll feel old watching all underclassmen
Did I actually act like that when I was a freshman?
6. Sweatshirts every day is completely acceptable
Save your nice clothes for the bars..
7. You're one step closer to your goal
Stay focused the end is near. Only 4 more semesters!!
