College Student

I remember back to my first day at ARCC. I was pretty nervous, my palms were sweaty and my heart was ready to burst from my chest. I had no clue what to expect. What would my professors be like? Who would be in my classes? Would I know anyone? Those were just a few of the questions racing through my mind. It didn't help I had no idea where my classes were. However, thankfully for a map, and help from the information desk I was able to make my way to class. When I first walked through the door of my first class, I was so relieved to see some familiar faces. I didn't have to worry about being surrounded by complete strangers anymore. As the class started and progressed, I became more relaxed. I was comfortable sitting by those I knew, and those I didn't seemed alright with me. It surprised me on how the class was run though. Coming from high school, things were more hands on, but this college class was purely lecture. I tried my best to keep up with the professor, scribbling away furiously in my notebook to every single word. By the end of class, I had pages of unreadable chicken scratch. My efforts were in vain. The four hour class seemed to slip by so fast. After everything was packed up, I was done for the day. That was a great enjoy. Gone were the days of seven hours worth of class blocks. Gone were the days of 7 a.m. bus rides to school. Finally, gone were the days of high school drama. I was a college student now.
