Attending College in the Fall

Memphis, Tennessee

Hi everyone, I'm new to myLot. So far it seems to be a great community and I'm excited to learn more about everyone. A thing that's been on my mind lately is college. I'm attending college in the Fall as a freshman. I feel both prepared and not prepared at all. I just wanted to know what everyone's perspective on college is. How was your experience if you went. And if you have any advice you want to give me, I'll be grateful. Thank you.

Welcome to myLot. Wow, college...those were the days. I loved my college experience, but I have to say that for the first couple of months I was REALLY homesick. My roommate was not very friendly and had a best friend that she always hung around with and it took me a while to make friends. Once I did, I was fine. I think college is a wonderful experience because it gives a young person a chance to get out and experience life away from their childhood home and family, but they still have a home to go back to for breaks and holidays. College is a really great transition experience. Good luck. Where are you going to college and how far away from home is it for you?

@domdavis Ha ha, yes I guess you wouldn't have to worry about that. I have been to Memphis one time in my life. The person I was with didn't care much for Elvia so we never went to Graceland, but I did stop at a gift shop outside the gate and bought some postcards. Good luck in college.

I'm going to the University of Memphis. I'm actually staying in my hometown for college, so I'm not too worried about homesickness.

Enjoyment and studies should be there, no fun only concentrating on studies..both are important.

@domdavis First of all Welcome to My Lot. Your post was very interesting. I loved College. It was some best years for me and I had a group of friends that I would party with. I got my first degree. Towards the end I got into this program where I could build my classes around my internship and loved it. Just relax and enjoy your time and hope it will be a happy one for you and try and remind people that are higher up than you if they are not nice tell them you were new once and try and remember that and be nicer to the ones coming in.

hi welcome to mylot, hope you like being here. for me college is not that hard or scary as it seems tho. Just attend every classes you have don't skip it unless you're sick or have something important and do all the tasks they give you. make a lot of friend to know all the information around but don't too close. That's what i feel like about college. wah that's quiet long sentences that i wrote haha
