Beginning college is when I had to take everything I had ever learned in school and apply it to college and life. When I began college, I truly didn't know exactly what to expect so from that I learned to have more patience. Also all of my friends had moved away to a four-year university so that was really hard to get use to. But, I have now made many new friends. When I began, college my outlook on school was so different because I knew this was the final most important part of my life before beginning my career choice. My state of mind had also changed from just thinking of the present into planning for my future. The most important thing that I have learned from beginning college is realizing that I have to separate my college life from my personal life.
