"A toast for all the papers that are due!"

First 2 week of college? Done deal. How was it?  Very messy. Why? Because of all the papers due of course! In the transition of becoming a college student, the first weeks are crucial in the college career of any freshman. It’s a learning experience like any other; everything is thrown at you at the same time, a new place, new friends, new teachers, but most importantly lots and lots of papers that need to be completed. Is that the biggest change from high school to college? A change in the amount of workload and homework? From my own personal view, it might just be. From swim team papers sheets that need to be filled out to syllabuses that need to be memorized. The whole thing just overwhelms anyone; notice that I haven’t mentioned the homework that is also a contributing factor of the challenges presented in the first month of college. As I stated before the first few weeks is a very crucial part of college, and though it is annoying and it’s overwhelming, it’s essential for the transition into becoming a full-pledge adult with responsibility. Millions of years ago we had to endure the freezing era by killing a few wolves and ox to warm ourselves and survive. So if we all went through obstacles and changes in our past and endured temperatures far below 0 degrees, what can we learn from them? The best way to overcome all of it is to do what us human do best. Adapt.  That’s just what I’m going to do.
