Switching Worlds

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending"

I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Information Technology. At first this isn’t the course I really want. In fact, I’m so interested in Tourism, like what I said in my profile I’m an adventurous person and I loved seeing beautiful places. But apparently my parents can’t support financially so I decided to change my mind and grab this course. I’m not saying that I’m bitter because I have accepted the reality. And that’s the great lesson I learned. “Healing starts in accepting” and “life must go on and on and on”

My life is now different from where I got from. Switching the world of high school to college where professionals are produced is a big transition. Yes, I find a hard time now that I’m a college student. First in the list is the schedule. New set of classmates, new set of friends. Age gap between me and our classmates is one where I find time hard. Their interests are very far from what I wanted such as they like more “gimmicks” which is very aloof from my personality. But I think that’s a factor to test me if I can go find time to be close with them. Next thing, in high school, when the tic tac of the clock is in 5pm I’m already in our home but now that's the time when our classes will start. Big difference, right? Switching modes like this can teach me how to be more flexible and how can I handle my time responsibly or maturely. Lastly it's totally different when it comes to the subjects we're tackling. You must be always prepared every time you go into your class and if you miss the class for that day, you also missed lots of lessons and it's hard to cope up. Compared to high school even you were absent for a couple of days still it's easy for you to deal with the lessons. Meaning to say now I understand why many college students though they're sick they still go to class.
