College

Over this past weekend, I attended Stanfest. Stan fest is a concert that is held on campus. The performers were Mims, Ying Yang twins and T-pain. The tickets were very affordable. For students, tickets were $5 and for non-students it was $25. If you purchased a ticket on the day of, it was $35. Thank you Stan for affordable tickets! I attended the concert with three of my friends. We arrived over 2 hours early. With good company those 2 hours flew by fast. When they finally let us in, my friends and I walked and got front row we were so excited. As the crowd grew, I was getting overwhelmed. There were some people who kept pushing to get closer. Besides the pushing, the concert went very smooth. There was no fights, or arguments everyone left the drama at home. Everyone in the crowd was singing and getting along. This shows a lot about how the atmosphere is at Stan. It ended at around 10 which was a good time. Also, the fact that Stan holds a concert every year for student and non-stude...

The biggest problem I have with college is commuting. During my senior year of high school, I would wake up at 8:30 to get ready for school. I didn’t have a first period. Now, during college I have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning. Ever since I was younger I would always be grumpy if I didn't get a good amount of sleep. Also, another problem that I have with commuting is not knowing whether or not there’s gonna be traffic. On tuesday, I have a 6pm class. That means traffic everywhere. I have to leave over an hour early when it usually only takes me 15 minutes to get into town. Most of the traffic is because people slow down for no reason. There's no accident. Another thing is I don’t like driving back and forth between my breaks so I chose to stay on campus all day so I don't waste gas. That means on mondays and wednesdays i'm on campus for about 12 hours. Although being on campus for so many hours a day get tiring it also has its advantages. The last problem I have ...

There are many reasons why I chose to come to California State University of Stanislaus. First off I applied to many other campuses such as Chico, San Francisco and Sonoma. One of the main reasons why I chose to come to stan was because of my financial issues. It was the cheapest and closest school for me to attend. My parents didn't care what school I went to but I chose to come to this school. I didn't want to depend on my parents to pay for other resources that I needed for school that financial aid couldn't cover if I were to get a dorm. Also I stayed closer to home so I could take care of my family whenever they needed me to. The next reason was because I was not ready to leave my house and be on my own. I think the reason why I was so scared of being on my own was because I’ve never been on my own or separate from my family. Being at Stan has allowed me to somewhat be on my own. The campus is not too far but not too close to my house. I live 20 minutes away. On Monday...

Once I started college, I noticed that everything around me changed. My schedule, study habits and life. Although, i’ve only been in college for 3 weeks I have noticed that I am becoming more of an independent person. The transition from high school to college has drastically changed the person that I am today then I once was. Now, I feel as if I have to be more responsible. Throughout high school there would always be teachers to remind you that there was homework,assignments due, and quizzes/tests. Teachers would always make sure the students had the resources that they needed to complete their assignments. Now, it is the student's responsibility to sign into blackboard and find out whether or not there were assignments or anything that is due. For most professors, they will not accept late work. So if you forget to check if you have assignments then you will not be given credit for your late work. Also, the transition from being on high school grounds to a college campus has ope...
