My biggest fear is probably whether or no I fill "fit in". I can make friends pretty easily but this is a whole different world it seems like. I'm also worried about if I'll be able to do good in my classes. I'm kind of scared that I'm under-prepared for college classes. Colfax is a good school, don't get me wrong, but considered to some schools, I wish we had more advanced classes in our school and they weren't through Youth Options. Well that's about all I'm worried about I think. I think I'll do well in college and won't have a problem with anything, but a person still worries right? :)
I am worried about having fun and balancing school with working and all of that stuff. I am also worried about just where I will go to school! I'm scared that I won't like the school I start going to and then I am going to have to deal with transferring and all of that stuff. I am also nervous about how competitive it is going to be compared with what I am used to. I really hope college is fun and that I meet lots of people like me and start out a whole new life!
I'm worried I'll not be able to handle the homework. I'm not the best at managing my time...I'm also nervous about meeting people at first because I feel like I'm not very good at that either. I also don't really like the idea of living in a dorm...I prefer my own room. I guess I'm a little apprehensive about everything, but I'm sure I'll get over it. College should be fun and I'm looking forward to it!
I am worried about balancing xc/track with school and with evertything else that goes along with college. I will be traveling a lot, so I will have to miss some classes, and that worries me a little. I'm not too worried about the actual homework, because I know I will adjust. I'm looking forward to running against some great competition and meeting tons of new people! I'm also looking forward to being on my own, although I really hope I like my roommate.
I am worried about using my time wisely to get school work done. I am going to have to balance my time between classes and practice. I deffinitly think that will be my biggest problem. I can't get lazy in college! I am not that worried about not fitting in, I think I will make friends easily. I'm more worried about the distancce, I am positive that it is going to be extremely tough for me the first couple of months, but i'm hoping that one basketball starts I will settle in and get used to and like being far away from home! :)
I’m mostly worried about finding the balance between doing college work and just doing what I want to do (clubs, musicals, choirs, job(s), etc.). I know that in order to succeed in college you have to put a lot of time and effort into your work, which should be done anyway. But I want to also want to have the time to enjoy college and extracurricular activities. It’ll be really hard to find that balancing point at first, but I am sure I’ll get the hang of things eventually. Another thing that I fear about going to college is fitting in. I know I will be able to make some friends in college, but it’s a little daunting being thrown in a different world with over a thousand people roaming about.
I guess I’m pretty glad for having one year left of High School when I’m getting back to Sweden, because right now I have no clue what I want to do with my life. But when it’s time for me to go to college, I guess I will do it somewhere else than in Sweden, I really like it here and I have been thinking a lot of attending college here in the states. Sweden is a small country and after 18 years you kind of know everything. Even if I like High School and have no clue about what I want to read at college, I can’t deny that it sounds really exciting when everybody talks about it. /Jennifer
My biggest fear of going to college is probably just trying to figure what I want to go to college for. I would hate to waste all that time and money for nothing and as of right now, I have no idea what I want to do. I'm also worried about managing my time with homework and working. The homework and studying part scares me a little also. I have gotten a taste of college this semester by taking Anatomy and Physiology and Principles of Microeconomics. I definitely have to study for them. Yikes. I’m not nervous about meeting people though! That’s going to be fun! :)
My biggest fear is I do not know how I am going to do all this homework they say there is. I know when I set my mind to things I can get them done, but everyone makes it sound so terrible. I want to be successful, and I think I will be, but it still scares me I guess. I am excited to try something new though! I want to meet knew people and go to new places. I probably will live somewhere around here when I am older, but I now is the time to go somewhere else. It makes me nervous to think about it!
I am excited for school next year. It is going to be a huge change from going from colfax to milwaukee. It will be good though. I guess the thing I am most worried about is how the change will go. Even though the college is small, it so much bigger than school is here. There is going to a lot more classes and a ton more homework. I get to take calc 1-3 freshman year. That will be interesting. There is going to be a lot to get used to but it will be neat to be able to experience something new.
I guess i am a little worried about the fact that college will be really hard, if I do not know what i'm doing. I hope I have taken the appropriate classes for the majors I will be taking. I know it will be allot of responsibility, but once I have that all squared away, I will be having a great time living on my own and seeing what it is like to be on your own pace to accomplish tasks and do them well.
Instead of worrying about college, I'm worrying about the Air Force BMT. Soon after graduation, I'm going to Texas for three months. I have to cut my hair, shower with everyone else, get yelled at for everything, clean, and do a ton of exercise...not to mention that I won't have contact with anyone from home (except when I get to make a short phone call on Sundays). Am I nervous? Heck yes. But I'm nervous for the unknown. I'm okay with the idea of yelling and the intensity. I'm afraid that I'm going to do something wrong on accident or get lost, because that's something I'd totally do. I'm also nervous for cutting my hair to put my hair in a bun. I can't do my own hair, so I have to learn how before I leave.
My only concern about college right now is "what school/degree do I want to attempt?" because I have nothing that stands out that I would want to do.
i'm not really worried at all. i mean yeah i'm scared of being away from sarah for so long, but i'm excited more than anything. I can't wait to get away from my parents and be in control. I want to meat new people with the same interests as me. i really just can't wait. Being in colfax has been great but i just want to leave now
I'm worried about quite a few things. I think I can handle the homework, but I will need to be organized. The one thing that I don't like about Madison is the food plan. All of their food is things like burgers and fries, which is great every once in a while, but I don't always want to eat like that. Time management will be huge, but I'm sure I'll get it after a few weeks.
