This will be college in a nutshell for you.

1. You're only one person.

Realize that there is only you doing all this work because you want to be successful and get your degree, but remember it won't be all that easy.

2. 2 very long research papers to write.

They are both research papers meaning they will require more time, but you will probably start them the last minute because you didn't feel like doing it.

3. 3 exams all in the same week.

This is typical especially if you're only going to campus three days a week so you should expect this although you don't want to, why? Because then you question which exam to even study for first.

4. 4 friends

I only have about four close friends that I can talk to when I'm having a meltdown during the semester about the work load.

5. 5 classes

At my college we have to in five classes to receive the credits we need each semester in order to go into the next year and graduate on time.

My point being college isn't always fun because of the work, but in order to succeed you have to put in the work, effort, and time to achieve life goals although friends make the experience pretty great!
