There are many different important things I have learned in college. The one that I chose is responsibility. It is hard being on your own and college is so much different from high school. You don't realize it until you are actually on your own. Waking up on my own, relying on myself to eat, doing my own laundry, having to do my homework without being told to, these are all examples of the responsibility I have learned. .
The hardest thing for me was waking up on my own. Not having to rely on my mom to get me up to go to school. Now I set my alarm an hour before class to shower, eat and do whatever else I need to do before class. I still have a problem going to sleep early enough so I"m not tired in the morning. I know that it has only been a few months and it is only the first semester and I will have more time to catch on. .
The second hardest thing for me is having to do the things that I need the most to survive and not relying on my mom to be there. I have to fend for myself for everything now and it is a hard thing to do. I have to make sure I eat because now there isn't a home cooked meal waiting for me at home. I"m not use to doing my own laundry either. My mom was the one to always do my laundry along with my brother and sisters to. .
