College will make you look dumb

College isn't like high school.It isn't a playing ground as you think.It is a place you meet people of different backgrounds, beliefs, and upbringings. College brings out the best in you,it let you grow intellectually and make you learn things you never thought you'd learn but it might ignite an unknown passion. It is important to remember your background, college can change you to whom you don't want to become. No one is expecting you to be perfect,we all know college is hard . Should we talk about the G.P.A ,or to talk about school cultism . 

            College isn't like high school where you do everything carelessly and you'd have countless opportunities to change your ways. 

         College will make you feel dumb, especially when you are in a class of smart set of people, for instance, when you were told to answer a question but then you forgot your lines but someone from behind answered it for you.You will be like Holy Shit! and I know this ,I just forget my lines but the person that answered the question is already feeling on top of the moon ,you'd be bittered knowing fully well that the answer escaped your memory . Also,when one of your friends remind you of how you used to wear the same clothes every semester, your self esteem will drop immediately.

       In college,if you want to succeed,you have to try everyday and ,most importantly, always believe in yourself. Don't let anyone look down on you.It doesn't matter if you feel like you are struggling emotionally, academically or financially because eventually,each and every struggle will pay off and you will be able to boast of yourself,how strong you are and how you are able to overcome all the challenges. We all know college can be hard and challenging but, please always keep your head high and keep pushing through; you will come out strong, remember all that glitters is not gold and nothing tastes sweeter than success.
