I have found that college life to be an experience all of its own. It is stressful and kind of confusing at some points. But, I do love the freedom that I have never had before. Living with my parents I had some freedoms, but nothing like this. I think that the college life will help me prepare for my future, in the way of my independence. Living in this a shitty dorm room makes me realize that I need to be successful to assure that I won’t live like this all my life.
Moving in I was very overwhelmed but after a few hours I started to relax and got comfortable. Then classes began and I started to freak out. There was so much thrown at me, I thought I was in the MLB. It was hard to manage everything that I had to do with all my classes. By far the worst part was trying to get very thing I need for the online homework. I don’t know if I was the only one that had problems with it, but I feel for everyone that went through that pain and suffering. Sometimes I just wonder, “what happened to the pen and paper?”
The first week is over now and I am think I am starting to relax for good now. I have taken in everything thrown, and I thing that I can final handle the rest of the obstacles without stressing over them. I believe that I will come to love the college life and everything that comes with it.
"What happened to pen and paper?" is a question that many students (and some professors) ask. It is surprising to some how much of composition class happens on the computer now. In fact, when you move on to ENG 104 you'll experiment even more with digital composing, using video, audio, images and music. It reflects how writing has been "remediated," meaning that new media tools change what it means to write.
