Collegiate Experiences: Why So Excited?
In fourteen days, I will be going off to college for
the first time. The college that I am
attending has a large campus and a large population. On the small, medium, and large scale, it’s a
large. My university is made up of over
20,000 students ready to get the adult part of their lives started. I will be living in a sixteen story tower and
sharing a room with two girls that I have never met in person before in my
life. It’s exciting to finally be able
to learn more about my career choice, but a little nerve racking at the same
time. Today I saw something on my college
class of 2017’s Facebook page that seemed very realistic and interesting to
me. Amidst everyone expressing how
excited and ready they are to start their college lives, there was one girl
that expressed that she was a little nervous and not completely ready. In response to that, an older member of the
university informed her that she was most likely not the only one feeling that
way. He believed that many of us college
freshman felt that way, but were just hiding those feeling behind those of preparedness
and audaciousness. Everyone has
nervousness when starting something new, especially school, but the thing to
remember for introverts and reserved ones is to not let your nervousness consume
you and keep you from accomplishing simple goals. Another thing to remember is that, although
we are the type of people who are fine without conversing, being to ourselves
and not having many words to say, it’s important not to let nervousness define
you and become your name. Yes, you may
be an introvert or a demure person, but your much more that than. So enjoy life without putting limitations on
things you’ll excel at or enjoy by naming yourself nervous. I’m about to delve deeper into the field of
multimedia (print, broadcast, and online) journalism which is not at all for
one who considers themselves shy or an introvert. The only way I am honestly able to do this is
by acknowledging the gifts that God has given me despite my personality
type. I realize that if God has given me
this gift, than he has also given me the courage to pursue this gift. That’s my opinion, belief, and personal
knowledge, and I know it’s true. Take nervousness
off of your name tag and tell us your real name.

this is my favorite one thus far. for many reasons. I never thought of Towson as a large school but I understand how it could be. and you expanded my vocabulary (audaciousness). AND it was a very cute ending.. "Take nervousness off your name Tag and tell us your real name". I also agree with your beliefs that since God gave you a passion for multimedia journalism then he will give you the courage to do it and do it well.
