The first thing I thought to myself when I first stepped into class was “Damn it’s so quiet in this class I’m not going to talk to anyone”. Based on how college looks like in movies, I thought everyone was going to stick to their selves, keep their mouths shut and be respectful to others. The first few minutes in class of my first day of college were very awkward. The professor hadn’t got to class yet and everyone in class was quietly waiting for him/her for about 30 minutes. When the professor finally got to class, it immediately knew I was going to have a great time here. I started to feel comfortable around the students and the mass media professor especially of his hilarious comments. As my comfort zone rose day by day I broke out of my shell and realized I got to be more talkative and cooperative. So I did, and successfully became friendly and intellectual with most of the students. Specifically in this class ENG 103 in comparison with the others, I learned way more and conversed more in this class. The thing about Eng 103 is that Dr. Luke gives us students assignments which help us interact with each other. Even though I have to admit it was annoying at the beginning I started to realize the point of the assignments and it actually did help the students interact with one another.
As for the essay assignments where we have to do in class, that really got annoying and stressful at times. Although it did help me mentally and help me talk more to students. For instance when I’m having a little trouble on a essay assignment I ask other classmates to help and in fact they do. It might not always be verbally but they always find a way to help me, for example when I get stuck on assignments I read and study how other students wrote their assignments and I sort of in a way take their techniques and use it for my essays. As funny as it sounds it helped me go through hard assignments.
My younger friends sometimes ask me all these types of questions about college such as “is college hard? Is it fun? Is it a lot of work? And I came down to a decision that college is comparable to high school only difference is more work
