The College Life
by Nneka J. Howell
Sunday, July 19, 2009

Rated "PG" by the Author.

       


     My opinions and experiences with the....college life

 

 

There comes a time in life when children must evolve from one stage to the next. Where boys turn into men, and girls into women. A time when our minds may attempt to lead  us astray and we cling on to the things that keep us happy. These are times that our parents must realize that we cannot stay a child forever and that we WILL get older and make our own decisions.

The college life

This is more than a test of if we young adults are responsible. It is a test of self worth, temptations and decision making. A test that we must all prepare for. Read it from my point of view, like when I was a freshman I saw a whole new words. I saw many teens get turned upside down just because there were no rules, no parents to sit us down. They enjoyed the parties, the beer and alocohol. They enjoyed the sex and the drugs, they loved it all. Yet one had easily forgotten about their education, not realizing that this was the key to their future, the obstacle in their life that would make everything go sour. So like a coward most of them hid things from their parents in shame. Money money money, throw down the drain. College is expensive right? Well atleast for most of us...

Well yes, it is expensive for me but I do not, and will not fall into that catergory because I have too much self respect to let myself overdose on self neglect. And yet when the college life throws its fists at me and tempts me to make bad decisions, I will remember who I am and where I'm heading. I refuse to be another statistic, that's against my religion, I will not be my own contradiction....LISTEN.

Young ladies and men do not give in, for this world is filled with too much sin. You don't have to give in to peer pressure, stand your grounds and then watch how others respect you. Being cool doesn't last forever, and all of the haters will not laugh forever. Be clever and make ends meet. Don't crawl on the floor...it's time you

STAND ON YOUR FEET....

What decisions will you make in the heat.....?
