Is college right for you?

Well i really didnt plan to go to college. I wacthed my cousin got to college and she would talk abut the endless thing i could do when i graduate. So i went to college and i will graduate in january 2010 and she was right i have an endless amount of things i can do with my degrees.

Yes, I'm going to college. I start February 22nd!! I'm getting nervous and excited. I plan on attending a school where I can study skin and nail care. My friend is attending the skin care course with me, after she graduates high school this year. I know I have to go to college to start my own spa business, and that's been my dream for a while now.

I started university this past September and overall it has been a good experience for me. Moving away from home and being given the chance to live independently has been a great opportunity that I would recommend to anybody. I have made so many wonderful friends and personally, I feel I am broadening my horizons, giving myself the best chances of a successful future. Towards the end of secondary school and especially throughout sixth form, I rebelled. I challenged authority. I became complacent and didn't concentrate on my studies. I was never one for conforming or abiding by the rules and in many ways a strict institution was not a positive environment for me. University gives me the freedom to take responsibility for my decisions instead of enforcing them upon me and this is what motivates me and drives me to succeed. I am there because I want to be and not because I am told to be and if I'm not the consequences fall on my shoulders. University may not be so much academic for me as a step in the right direction to take control of my life and move into the big wide world, learning lessons which no professor can teach, about the way the world works. In many ways, however, being a student means I still have things very easy. If I was to be honest with you then I would say I probably wasn't maximising my potential at university and I have skipped seminars and passed deadlines on assignments; that is part of growing up and having fun and needless to say I will settle down in my own time. It is important for me personally to remember how difficult it was for me to get into university after not faring so well in my A-levels and that this is something I should seriously focus on and strive to make the most of. What inspires me the most is something my parents always told me but which I always used to hate hearing when I was a child. When they were my age, they never had the chance to do what I am doing. To study what they wanted. To really fulfil their dreams or realise their ambitions. It seems to me a waste to throw away education which could prove so vital to me in my later years. Whether university is about qualifications or the life lessons you learn along the way and the process of maturation and a more profound spiritual development, I wouldn't hesitate to say that I do not for one moment regret going to university.

yes, it is right for me, you can learn more when you are in college, but it is the most important for you to learn the study way not others.
