Transitioning from a four month long summer into college was tough. But now that I’m out of the transitional phase, living 6 hours away from home isn’t as daunting as I imagined. I thought I would be homesick by the second week, but I was wrong. Week 4 is approaching and I can confidently say…
Although it sounds cliché, college is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.

My first week in Sonoma State University was really good but at the same time I felt that I didn’t belong to the school because it is totally different from high school. Sonoma State is enormous compared to my high school, and I got lost the first week of school. The good thing was that…

It is completely different from the bay. The weather has fluctuated from extremely hot, to rainy, hot, and humid, to clear…
My first few weeks of school were amazing; it was nothing like high school. I met a lot of people. They even had events where we can interact with other students. I did not realize how independent you are supposed to be until I actually started school. It’s like you really have to do things…
My first few weeks of school have been nothing short of an exciting experience. I had expected countless hours of studying and meeting great new people, but my encounters here have definitely exceeded those expectations. When signing up for courses, I had assumed that they wouldn’t be much different than high school; going to class…
I was very excited to attend UC Berkeley for the Fall 2012, since it was the school I dreamed on attending. My experience began with move in day, an exciting and difficult day because I had never left my house before; it was the first time I was separating myself from my loved ones. My…
