Lets face it everyone, college means one thing to us all:
freedom. We make the decision in high school of where to go based on price
range, major, and how far away we can get from our parents. I thought the same
thing when applying to colleges. My name is Alyson Battista and I am a freshman
at Southern Connecticut State University.
When I
first came to SCSU I was nervous. I didn’t know anyone and had no idea what my
future held. After living here for a week I am proud to say that I learned a
lot about who I am. I think this is something we all go through. Moments of
pure terror make us think of who we want to be. This doesn’t mean we are
preparing for our future; this simply means that as we are going through these
tough choices we are figuring out whom we really are. Decisions like joining
the party crowd, clubs, leaders, or simply stay to yourself will dictate the
rest of our lives. I learned this within the first two days of school. I found
Max and Jared, two boys that instantly became my brothers. Together we get
distracted, mad, and have had the funniest moments. We always save time for
work we actually need though. Something I didn’t plan on needing to find.
It is the
factor of responsibility that lingers over all of our heads. It is something
that we all need though. Responsibility to know when to stay in or go out, to
take a nap or go to class, to manage our budgets and know what we really need. I
expect that this responsibility will grow as we continue on the journey we are
taking.
