I think a lot of people have the expectation that college will be very challenging compared to high school, and it has been my experience that it is not a whole lot different. Different people definitely have different experience, but I graduate this spring and have barely worked at all the last three years, everything has been pretty easy.

I too am graduating in the Spring and let me be the first to tell you not everything is easy. Freshmen year is a joke, it is a time to play meet new people and yes not really study. I did the same thing and my grades that year are nothing compared to now. With each year you will increase your work load but the positive side is that it is in your major and things you really enjoy. So the hard work doesn't feel as hard. Although it still feels like high school, just wait. With each year you will grow even more as an independent adult and realize that college isn't just about learning inside class but outside as well. Best of luck.

Do I detect a COMM or Elementary Ed major?? ;-)
