With all of the memoir activities we've been doing in class it makes me think more and more each day how much I would like to be a kid again. I know almost every adult I've talked to ALWAYS tells me that high school and/or college will be the best years of my life. While I can see it becoming my favorite time period of my life, right now it's too stressful for me to feel that way. I was so nervous my first day of college classes and some days my nerves never seemed to go away. I know some of my classes aren't even bigger then one of my high school classes, I just get so scared about missing an assignment I didn't see on blackboard, or didn't read an e-mail from one of my professors correctly. All these thoughts run through my head continuously throughout the week. I miss the days where I could just go to school, with my room right across the hall from my mom's classroom, color, cut, and paste and be done. I wouldn't even need a nap because when I was younger, school was my favorite place to be. I got to see my friends all day everyday and I got to play soccer or basketball afterward. Now that I'm in college, I don't get that opportunity. And some days that is depressing for me. I hope for it to get better as I mature but for now, I wish I could go back to elementary school all over again.

Hi Lindsey:
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes I miss my childhood too, but it was also so scary. I was even more worried I would do something wrong--I just didn't understand the world yet and it seemed like something tragic could happen at any moment, but maybe I was a weirdo:) I'm sure I was.
Since you miss your childhood, maybe you could remember back on a particular moment that puts into perspective the home to college life change.
I loved highschool, for the most part, and am really enjoying college so far but I would definately have to agree with you. It's much easier for me to get stressed about the little things in class like missing and assignment or doing it wrong like you said because I know all the work I do now is for my future and if I want to succeed I have to excell. It's also hard not to miss the days we could hang out with our friends everyday and play whatever sport or activity we wanted to without having to worry about a job schedule or the hours of homework it takes to get the good grades you need to get through school.
