College Experience

The best experience that I felt, was the feeling of independence. Although I do not live on campus and still live with my parents, I feel that I am being more responsible for my live that before. In high school, it was very simple; all you had to do was follow a set of classes complete them and then graduate. But college is different. This most noticeable one, is that you pay for your education. Last week, I dropped $2,500 to pay for summer and fall semester classes. I also need to buy books which might cost an extra $500. In total that would be $3,000, and to me that is about 5-6 months pay for me. I felt so mature, when I paid for my classes out of my own pocket. I definitely feel that I would be able to support myself in the future. And college has helped me realize that I can fend for myself. I don't feel like a child or teen anymore, but as an adult.
