<p>Generally, I think college is what you make of it. </p>
<p>You will have some classes that just really kick you when you’re down, but also, you’ll have some you can sleep through. If you want an A, you’ll work yourself much harder than you would for a B, and so on. </p>
<p>Also, in college, a lot of hand-holding stops, which is definitely different than high school. Your paper sucks? They’ll tell you. You totally misinterpreted that piece of literature? They’ll let you know. But likewise, you show a lot of promise with your writing? They might let it slip to you. You’re a keen student and you seem to grasp really complicated concepts? They might try and flag you for their major. </p>
<p>College is all about what you want it to be. No one’s going to take you by the hand and guide you along the path that they choose for you. You make your own decisions, make your own strides, and act as your own person. </p>
<p>In a lot of ways, this IS hard, but many have done it. It varies from person-to-person, but it’s still part of growing up, which we all inevitably must do. :)</p>
