most people think that when you are a college student,you can live the life you want.it’s true and  most people like to sing at the evening or do something activity at the night.


i think it’s a pity to build your college life.my viewpoint is that when i get college i can learn everything i want cause when i senior heigh everybooks i read only for the exam 


now i get free it’s the time to search myself 



good luck to you ^^ i’m the freshman also

hello there


that ıs my second year ın college. ı will explain it as i can. I always say that . I don’t have time! NO time for anything.I am studying mechanical engineering it is really hard and taking german language lessons. I have class nearly every day. In the same time I try to read book. one week,one book and ı try to improve myself. Doing some political staffs,helping organizations for poor people and  and children. I try to learn more things  about my mayor. It is not easy to reach everything. I am living with five guy in same home. that means a lot of fun and no sleep:) now the time is 1 am in the morning and i think we are not giong to sleep for a few hours:) By the way ı have exam tomorrow and for all week but ı cant study,ı dont want! ı am bored! sick of studying! we are chatting with my friends hanging on english baby,surfing on the internet:) college is much more diffucult than high school but much more  funny and much more responsibilities. you are building your own life, career and status on society.I try to make my best for myself, for my future and i hope i am a kind of successful about that:) and ı hope you are all will be successfull.


best regards

It’s been a long time for me but that lets me look back at my time in college with hindsight. I wish I had gotten more involved in the school. I studied alot but when I wasn’t studying I left campus. I wish I had attended more sporting events, maybe joined a club that reflected my hobbies, met more people, maybe even tried out for something.


It’s been 28 years and I still have friends from college but we have little connection to our school. I think I should have tried to see more things when school wasn’t in session too. Go visit a friends town and ask them to visit yours. I didn’t do that nearly as much as I could have. You live in a giant country, imagine the variety of life right at your door. And by visiting friends, even if there are four or five of you, you all get to see ways and customs you might never get to see again so casually. No one can be more casual than a college student.   


Sometimes people get to college and go wild. It’s like they want to be like a character in a movie. Too much alcohol, too many wild parties. It never ends well. Moderation is recommended.


Just what I wish I had done. If it sounds like you might be doing what I did, that’s what I think of it now.

Hi, I’m in my second year of college right now studying accouting. What I can say is: be social and get involved in activities and clubs.
Plan your time well and don’t take on too many things at once. A lot of the time people try to do all of everything (study, hangout, party, work, clubs), and as a result of trying to juggle everything, you become very stressed and nothing is as good as it can be.
