Probably the biggest thing that excites me about college is the idea of taking liberal arts courses. In the past, there have a been a few liberal arts course offered at my school but to the extent of the teacher and how much the state was willing to pay for them. These course require dedicated teachers and money that for the most part, the board of education is incapable of offering to a community where most students wouldn’t be able to handle such opportunities; but I digress.
The idea itself entices me as the work load provides real satisfaction when one looks back at the wonders they have accomplished. AP courses for the most part introduce students to this new way of thinking but it’s only when you get into college that you really get the chance to whiteness what it means to work hard and understand why you are working so hard.
Although I have never been in college (by age, not by choice), I can say from the stories I have heard from students currently in college, that college is literally a whole new way of life. That everything you do requires a lot more work and a lot more commitment. Contrary to high school, doing the bare minimum doesn’t really cut it anymore. Everything you do needs to be your best because there’s no one there holding your hand; it’s now you who decides where you want to go in life.
