Transition

It has been awhile since I have written about my transition from high school to college so I thought I would go ahead and write about it since we are already halfway through the semester!  Like I have said before transitioning from high school to college was not easy for me.  I feel I am constantly doing homework or playing volleyball whenever I am not in class unlike in high school when I had tons of free time.  I do have to say though I think I am getting used to the way college works and the way my Professors do things in the classroom.  With volleyball season almost being over I am sad but I am very much looking forward to being able to have some relaxation time during the day and not always feeling on the go every second of the day. I always hear people saying how much free time they have and how they get to go do all sorts of things. I have absolutely no clue what they are talking about when it comes to free time in college because I haven't had that since August! In some of my classes I have started to learn different techniques for taking notes and for different things we do in class. In high school I only took notes on a simple piece of paper but I have learned that bringing my laptop to class and taking notes is a lot easier for me.  In high school I had a set of friends that I used to hang out with everyday that I was very close to.  Before college I worried about making friends and I was sad knowing I wasn't going to have my best friends with me everyday.  But when college started I became very close with my teammates and today I have even met lots of friends outside the volleyball life.  One thing I have to say is new to me in college is the large amount of communication I have with my Professors.  In high school I never had to tell my teachers when I had a game because usually they would always know because of an announcement that was made or because my coach told them, but in college I am constantly emailing my teachers letting them know that I will be gone and getting the work that I will have missed.  The Professors here at TLU really do a great job at being understanding on when we have to miss and I am so thankful that my professors have helped me so much this semester so far.   Although it is tough switching from high school to college I do have to say college is absolutely amazing and as much as I loved high school, that is in the past and it's time to focus on my future here at TLU!
