What is college like ?

Before I entered college, I always ask people that particular question. I didn't get a satisfying answer in return though. 

So right now, here I am, In my second semester of Cambridge A-level course, I think I'm in the position to tell you what it is like to be in college and for memory, in my benefit as well.

College consists of mainly 3 things : Classes, lecturers and friends + social life. 

How to make your college life fun ? 

Have awesome classes, cool lecturers and fantastic friends. 

And I'll tell you that it isn't easy to get that at all.

You need to know what you want to study in order to make awesome classes that suit your interests and passion. No matter how the lecturers are like,  you'll have to let yourself be known to him/ her so that you could ask questions easier and build up a good teacher-student relationship, which in turn makes lecturers cool to be around with. Fantastic friends ? This will be the hardest part, well, at least for me. You couldn't exactly find people that are quite the same as you and you'll never know who is real and who is fake. The trick here is trying to be friends with everybody and stick around with a few that you think you can be comfortable to be around with. Build up friendships from the small group of friends and get to know each other better and avoid making drama and having childish rows and arguments. Solve every conflicts with talks like grown-ups. Generally be a nice person , that'll be quite enough. Social life ? Don't go socialising too much though, college is for studies and that's the main thing. But once in a while will be so much fun, I assure you ! Too much of it becomes a habit and bore you out, everything has its limits. 

A day-to-day life in college :

Woke up in the morning. Go to classes. Hang out with friends between classes and have fun in classes. Study at night and if there're study groups, chatting with friends. Bed time. 

That's what I basically do though. And once in a while, my friends and I will go places by bus and just hang out, talk and have fun :) 

Well, this is my college life and my views on college and how to make it works. Perhaps you would have different opinions and different college life. But all is well :)

Have a good college life, people !
