Setting the Tone for This Semester

College is just another step to a brighter future to further your education which is seen as a bigger step to a sucesful life with a good job that pays you well.  Going to college not only lands you a better job in most cases but also educates you more because your learning more in depth the studies that you are going for. Colege opens up a whole new world and career that you most likely will stay for the rest of your life. You get to experience careers that will interest you and define you for the rest of your life. Being a college student academically put more pressure on you than high school did in each one of your classes because grades is what gets you a job or even a program that you want. My major is nursing and i know i have to do good academically to even be considered in the nursing program. I have met alot of people being in college that are completly different than me in each class but teach me new things tht will help me in the future. You open up to people very easily here in college because we are all here for the same reason which is to graduate and get the job that we want.  Personally college made me really grow up because once we step into class it all has to do on us and our independence brings more responsibility. In orientation they took back all the nursing students and right whn we got in the room they said this is a competetive program, most of our sudents last year that got in had atleast a 3.6. Already i was nervous and knew i had to change my way of studying and really focussing on school and being more responsible. I want to be able to be positive that i am going to be in the nursing program and be garenteed a spot because of my gap. Once i get into the program i want to graduate and fulfill my dream of being a nurse. My number one goal is just to try my hardest in every class. Freshman year is very important and i want to start it right. I am very excited for the upcoming years here at SCSU!
