We are never the same people we are now when we first arrived college. Without a doubt, college causes us to mature in ways that high school did not. When we leave school and go to college, we leave behind our adolescent years and a comfortable home environment to enter the stage that leads to our life ambitions. We constantly tell people that college is the only time in our lives where we can have fun while learning from our mistakes, and now is the time to take advantage of the opportunity you've always desired.
There are major differences between high school and college life. The awareness of real life. To predict how life will treat you. College is where you learn how to manage your work and meet deadlines, as well as where you get the majority of the information that will help you reach your goals. Aside from your comfort level, there is no ceiling to keep you from understanding the world. Being a college student entails exploring as many areas as possible because here is the place to make decisions from your mistakes.
Now that the future must be bright, we have worked hard for years to encounter various subjects, identities, and values, and our plans for the future continue to evolve. This happens just as we discover the perils and rewards of the outside world. "What am I going to do with my life?" becomes a crucial life decision. The dreaminess and ambiguity of school life stand in stark contrast to the realism and urgency of college life.
From the fact that meeting new people in the future leads to a practice that college provides by connecting us with hierarchies of Dean, Professors, Teaching Assistants, and students is the process of making one a true-life candidate. We are more on equal footing with our teachers, and as a result, we play a far more active role in the teaching-learning framework. The rigorous high-school routine of standardized testing is replaced by assignments that allow us to express ourselves and explore more. College is now an opportunity to take new initiatives and offer something novel. By how we exhibit ourselves to the outside world, enables us to define our limitations and experiences.
