The Importance Of Being An Eager High School Student

Eager high school student ready to go out into the world and be on her own. On August 13th 2016 I moved into Moore-Strong residence hall. I am a first year college student and was so hyped up about the “college life”. Before I came to The University of North Carolina Greensboro I was an excited high school senior ready to graduate and leave from home. I 've come to realize shortly after that college is not what I expected. It let me down on the inside and I was a little disappointed.

I will continue making that statement true throughout my 4 years here getting my Bachelor’s degree.
I also will be exploring how it feels to live in an apartment and to have a room of my own. I 've always had to share a room with my twin sister and now in college i 'm sharing a room again. Im very excited about living in an apartment next year. Also the traditional “dorm style” housing is not for me. I 'm not a fan of all the loud noise and music that goes on in the dorm hallway.
