Journal About My College Transition


            My expectations for college was a decent work load, including baseball, homework, and social life. I was excited about meeting new people, living on my own, and playing baseball in college. I saw myself as a decent college student but needs to get better work ethic or organization. I felt like I was prepared pretty well with my curriculum in high school.  But, I wasn’t prepared is my time management and work ethic.
            Fast forwarding to now college is going better than expected. A couple of surprises I received better grades first semester then I thought. Also, I didn’t intend to play a lot in baseball because of I’m a freshman but I have second most innings pitched out of all the freshman. One low point is that I slacked on my grades the beginning of 2nd semester. I have worked harder and set time in my schedule for school work.
            My goals I have for next year is have a GPA over 3.3 and pitch more than I did this year in baseball. Also, I’ve learned that grades are the most important it will help with scholarship and internships.

Scares of Living on Campus

   When you first hear of living on your own as a high school senior. This idea sounds amazing, having your own space, don't have to deal with your parents etc. Then as the summer goes on you gather stuff you need to live on your own. This is when scares start to kick in. I have to do my own laundry , I have to make my own food, or I have to manage my meal card money so I don't run out. Let me tell you this is just the beginning. Just around two weeks before you move in it kicks in a little more. What if I don't get along with my roommate, what if I run out of money, what if I get locked out of my room, what if I forget something how am I going to be able to get it.

Dear Aunt Kim,  This is a letter that I will be telling you how in college writing 1 I learned and perfected my critical thinking, reading, and writing and composing in electronic environments. College Writing 1 I came not knowing what to expect. High school writing course were kind of a joke. They assigned papers to keep us busy, we couldn’t pick the topic, or length etc. I didn’t put much effort in these papers I thought if I write three pages on a random topic I don’t give a crap about I might get a B and I’ll be happy with that. I didn’t revise, or draft. If the papers are due on Monday, Sunday night I’m starting it. College Writing 1 has taught me to write early and often. Also, really dig deep into analysis and find what each and every word really means.  Critical thinking, reading, & writing. These three steps are key to make a magnificent paper. One smaller key in this category is describe the rhetorical goals and strategies of the writer...
