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.…
After finishing my first quarter at UCLA, the first word that comes to mind if relief. I’m so relieved I’ve survived the most intense 10 weeks where I was incredibly busy getting lost on campus, reading hundreds of pages for my classes (procrastinating the readings a little too), making new friends and adjusting to being…

This first semester in college has honestly passed quicker than I thought. I remember thinking I was going to have such a hard time adjusting to living in a new state so far from my family, but surprisingly I had an amazing time. I love my college because it is small and I feel like…
Reminiscing on my first semester of college, I’m very thankful for having the right to pursue a higher education. The semester allowed me to not just grow academically but also socially. One of the many experiences that I enjoyed this semester in college is living on campus. Living on campus not only exposed me much…
As soon as I entered UC Santa Cruz I realized that I was going to have a new life not only academically but in any aspect. I don’t know if I was or I am still fully prepared for the “college life” however, I know I will soon get there. Being the first in my…
First semester went by pretty slow, probably because I didn’t do very much. All I did was go to class, go back to the dorms; same thing everyday. I wanted to join some clubs but it’s hard to find a balance between schoolwork and other activities. Going to class in college is similar to going…
