During the time leading up to my first week of college, I was constantly redeveloping my idea of what the college experience might feel like. Before graduating high school I had built up the mentality that it would be just like going back but to a building that was much larger and filled with more people. Obviously, I wasn’t thrilled about college being the same as high school, but the familiar thought seemed to provide me with a peace of mind. When I actually began my first week, things were as I had expected, very vast and quite intense. I didn’t make friends immediately, most of my classes seemed reiterating, and through-out it all it felt as if I couldn’t ever get a good grip of things because of how nervous I was. Over sometime, though, I began to just settle into the new environment. In doing this I was able to start appreciating what my program had to offer, as well as meet new people, and explore and learn about other career possibilities. Now in my second semester of college, writing this blog entry for my Telling Stories in Digital Media class, I’m starting to feel that same sense of familiarity high school used to give me. Only this time my ideas appear a lot clearer to me, and in starting this blog I can now express my thoughts and interests in a more modern, interactive way. And although things will never be the same, I guess we all learn to accept what we’re given eventually.
