The title is irrelevant but I had to
think of something that would make you read this. To all of you out there who
are going to be freshman next year at good ole Springfield College I have one
word of advice for you… RELAX! There is no need to stress out, yes college is a
new thing for you but stressing out never helps the situation. All stress ever
does is upset your stomach and make you use the bathroom. The food here is
going to make you do that anyway so no need for more stress. The first week you
are going to be nervous which is normal. After a week or two of being in classes
you’ll adjust to your schedule. For those who are not the best writers, like
me, don’t worry. The College Writing course you are going to take first
semester helps you a lot if your writing skills are a little rusty. You get the
opportunity to write a range of different styles of writing ranging from a
memoir to a research paper. You also go through a process of peer-review before
handing in your paper each time which helps you obtain advice from your
classmates that you might not have thought about yourself. For the rhetorical
analysis and research papers you learn how to use the library services on the
school website which is a big help! You can find many articles all relating to
whatever topic you are looking for. The library services are also a great way
to find scholarly articles which are very reliable sources to use in your
research papers. You will face challenges not only in College Writing, but in
your other classes. Simply the workload will be challenging. That is why you
shouldn’t procrastinate. Soon after getting the assignment you should start
working on it. There is nothing more annoying in college then having to stay up
all night working on homework assignments/ projects that are due the next day. Take
advantage of the time you have and use it wisely. Other than that, you are
going to enjoy college a lot. You have a lot of freedom and time to do what you
want when you aren’t in class. Plus, no more having to ask the teacher to use
the bathroom!
Good
Luck,
