In blog number seven I am going to write about how difficult the transition from high school to college is. You always hear “college are your glory years”, “college will be so much fun”, or “college will be the best time of your life”. In my honest opinion I have not experienced any of those things thus far. High School was the best time of my life. I was friends everyone, I played every sport, I did UIL, FFA and anything else you could imagine. I had high school made for me. I had the best group of friends that are still my best friends. We were doing stuff together every single weekend.  I always had plans whether it was school related or not. I loved all of my teachers and had very close relationships with most of my teachers. I did not have to work although one summer I did chose to work to have extra money. Since I have moved to College I work a full time job and am a full time student. I have no free time for hardly anything. I barely even have time to eat. I have a couple of friends up here but it is definitely not the same as my high school friends. I am stressed out with school and money 24/7. I miss my family so much and while working so much and always having so much homework I can hardly ever find a weekend to make that 3 ½ hour drive home. I honestly did not think college was going to be this miserable for me. I thought I was going to come to college and have the best time of my life but I do not feel like that at all so far. I feel like it is difficult to enjoy myself up here when there is always some sort of homework I could be doing. I get through it though because as hard as college may be, life will be even harder for me without a college degree. Nobody in high school warns you about all of the difficult things which is super annoying. I am getting adjusted but it still is not a very good adjustment. I have had a very hard time transitioning. I think next year might be a little better for me though because my best friend of 12 years from back home will be moving up here so it might be a little better with her up here. I honestly wouldn’t have made it this far without prayer, and that’s how I’ll continue to get through it until next year.
