The Big Transition: The Class and Learning transition.

Highschool Seniors

One of the great things about college is the opportunity to learn so many new things. Yea, you learned a lot in high school and yes your experiences in high school will help you some once you get to the "real world", but college is where you really begin to delve into this "real world". I enjoyed many classes and high school, and didnt enjoy some classes. Whether I enjoyed them or not, I was always frustrated because I felt like so many of my classes would not apply in my future job or career field, whatever they may be. I am sure many of you felt the same way about your high school courses. A common statement made among students at my highschool when we would become frustrated with studying our doing work for a calss would be "Why are we even doing this, I will never use this information ever again:." This is a concern of many high school students, however most of you college freshman should realize by now that all of that changes in college.

Although it was frustrating sometimes, you had to go through those high school, seemingly pointless courses, to prepare you for college courses, which then would prepare you for your future career. The thing I love about college is that there is so much freedom in choosing your classes. You can really explore the curriculum and find out what you like and what you don't like. I highly recommend taking many different types of classes and once you figure out what you really like go with it and you will be amazed at the real world and future career application that you see in your learning. So if you are a highschool senior, don't fret, the learning you are doing has significance and you will see exactly what I mean next year.
