My first few weeks at Linfield College have been some of the most intense, yet rewarding weeks I have ever experienced. Being on a college campus is so different than living at home and going to school, especially in a different state. I am constantly surrounded by peers and friends and we are always together.…
Before I even started attending Contra Costa College’s Culinary Program, I was already very excited about being able to study and gain experience in the Culinary Arts and Hospitality field. We’ve already been in school for 5 weeks and I still haven’t lost my interest or excitement towards the program, I don’t think I will…
I was usually the kid to know all the answers in class and the kid who had no shame in raising his hand to give the answer. That changed, drastically. The classes here were harder to keep up with, the academic rigor from Kennedy high school and Chico State were not at all the same.…
My first semester in San Francisco State was intense and a life-changing experience. Because of it, I have a different view about college and life. This semester I faced adversity, but I never gave up because I knew that if I did, I would not make it through college. Calculus was a challenging subject; there…
I knew that I had not been challenged enough in high school and that transitioning into college would be hard. Classes at the university level require much more time, effort, and tutoring.

Being the first in my family to attend a four year university was a challenge not only academically, but also mentally and emotionally. Something that I enjoyed about my first semester in Sonoma State University was meeting new people. I am a very outgoing and outspoken person so getting to know a lot of people…
My first few months’ part of the long journey I will have of my college life was unimaginably easy actually. I didn’t think it was going to be anything like that, I was very lucky though. I know it will get harder for my next semester because I took the easy way out for my…
I liked the community UC Santa Cruz has. It’s not just one big campus; it’s split into lots of colleges. For example, I had a lecture with my whole college and it’s pretty cool doing homework with your building and going to class with your new friends. I loved how it was really hot the…
My first quarter at Cal Poly was more difficult than I have imagined. Giving adequate time for every class was a challenge. Sometimes when I focus on a specific class too much, I paid less attention to other classes. I also realized that some classes needed more attention than others. The biggest cause for this…
Finishing first quarter of college was quite an eye-opener and difficult but it was also very exciting. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, being a small university, makes it very easy for me to move from one destination to the other. For example, I can stay up late at night doing my homework at the library.…
