“College is the reward for surviving high school” (Judd Apatow). My first day in college accurately resembled any preconceived expectations I initially had. As soon as I entered my first class I knew I was going to enjoy it a lot more than high school, but I realized almost instantaneously what I was getting into. Exceptionally long nights, abnormal scheduling, and a greater sense of personal accountability were the first things that came to my mind. It has been a rightful and rewarding change nonetheless.

It just would not make sense for a college to basically hand you a valuable higher education that would allow you to earn high paying job. It already makes sense for colleges to let you earn money towards your tuition from your personal achievement and consistent work ethic. The reason for your specific tuition is to let you know that the college you’re attending is worth it. I do realize that tuition can get a little steep considering the other aspects of college you have to pay for on top of tuition, but eventually with continued effort you should be able to
