Transition from School to Uni - Your feelings?

Well, well, well.....

I went through this transition last year. It was a big thing to me because I graduated with a class of like 45 people, a really small school. And now I'm in the Uni where my class has lie 5000 people. Yeah believe that!

SO it was a really terrifying thing at first. In school, I knew every single person, the students and the staff and the teachers. I would always get the personal feedback from the teachers. I would share my problems with my teachers and counselors.

Then I entered Uni. and a few of the my professors don't know me really well. After all how could they when they are teaching a class of 400 people?

But I figured out a way. I would always go to their office hours. That way they can know me better and I can get the personal feedback at the same time.

I do miss my old friends and a class where I knew every single person. Now when I'm in a class a lot of the faces are new, I don't get to interact with them all the time.

But that's part of life. You get some things and you lose some. There are a lot of opportunities here but then again a bit intimidating too!

One thing I'm very happy about though is that I graduated as a Valedictorian from HS and so far I've made it to the Dean's List in both semesters in Uni. as well! Hoping to continue that.

Great topic, Ghun!
