The summer has ended and now it is time to come back to school, and get back into the swing of things. For some, they might wish it could still be summer so they could still be relaxing without any stress or worries. However, if you are in college like me, you might be extremely excited to come back! There is just something about being back at college. I remember I dreaded going back when I was still in high school, but college is different. In high school, every little thing was scheduled to a tee, but in college my autonomy is magnified and I feel free. You get to be on your own and independent. Unlike high school, you actually get to take classes that interest you. There are so many activities and clubs to be involved in while in college. Not to mention the friends you make that truly care about you and will be there after you graduate.

Going back to college may be stressful, but they are the best years of your life. Sitting in class and studying for hours may not be the most fun, but getting that great education is so worth it. You truly find yourself while in college, meet amazing people, and major in what you want to do for the rest of your life.

College is a time to learn new things. Not just inside of the classroom, either. You learn new things about yourself, about others, and you learn things about the world. Make the most of these years because they will go by fast. I know from experience. I feel like I was just a freshman, and now with the blink of and eye I am a junior. Enjoy each day, work hard and most importantly make memories!
