My Expectations Of College

Maybe they're the same as yours now or what they were before you went to college.

My Expectations Of College
Jessica Boozel

I will start attending Shippensburg University in six months and so far I have towels, a comforter, and a big group chat full of friends also going there. I love the people that I have already met and I cannot wait to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Netflix dates with them! I also cannot wait to meet so many more people. I'm sort of awkward when it comes to meeting people for the first time, but if we both set off good vibes with each other I can be very outgoing.

As a single girl going to college I have to admit, I hope to find the person that I am going to love for the rest of my life. It's not a must on my expectations list but I do hope that it happens. The truth is most high school relationships do not work and either don't even make it to prom or end a little after graduation. I hope for a college relationship that is mature, understanding, and equal when it comes to giving each other the same amount of attention and compassion.

Another expectation is to go on more adventures. Not necessarily travel the world, but to go to different places with new people. Considering I don't go very far away from my hometown now it would be very out of my comfort zone to go on adventures more often.

Maybe this expectation isn't obvious but I know I'm not the only one that hopes to go to college and find what their career will be. I know my major and I know what I like to do in that major but I don't know what I would like to do most and what to make a career out of. That is part of the reason why I chose Ship. It has so many opportunities and I know I will come out of my four years knowing where and who I should be.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
