College Visit Reflective Essay
Several ways that our college visit at UC Berkeley was what i expected was that there were so many college students. Although in my opinion i thought that the school would of have been less diverse, but it was pretty diverse. They all seemed very independent and some looked really driven into their education and very determined. Many students were studying and not just hanging around, they used their time wisely.
When i was first told we were going on a fieldtrip to UC Berkeley. I thought it would be boring. I really did not care about going to college. I thought why go to college when i can just start my singing career and I’m set. After taking a fieldtrip to UC Berkeley. I’ve realized that even if singing is what i want to do there are still many programs or majors that I’m interested in. It doesn’t hurt to have extra knowledge
What really surprised me was that i thought college was exactly like high school, but thats where i was wrong. I asked Berkeley students the difference between high school and college. They clearly said in college there’s more pressure on you, all your work depends on you. There’s nobody pushing you or even constantly reminding you what your priorities or responsibilities are but yourself. That surprised me because I’m used to my teachers telling me ,Jesus do your work,Jesus do it or I’ll call your mom. I’m used to teachers not giving me options and just making me do my work.
Berkeley is really cool because it has many programs to offer. They give you many options to make it work for you. Their lunch program is really cool too but different then high school. You can buy lunch points and every point is unlimited food for that point. The dorm options they have there are amazing they have suites or either you get combined with others and some suites even have kitchens. I’m honestly very driven to go to college now [:
