I’m writing this post from a computer in the college library. There are hundreds of computers in here and thankfully the internet works great.
Today is my first day of college and I just went to my first class. I must admit, the college experience has already been pretty interesting. There are so many different people here and all of them are here for a different purpose. The people are very interesting and I hope I can get to know some of them better.
There are a lot of differences between high school and college. The teachers are much more laid back, they have designated smoking areas, the library is enormous, they have a cyber cafe, and there’s a lot less gum on the ground.
You know I’m not too excited about college but since I’m here I’m trying to enjoy it. I felt like 90% of high school was a waste but so far my college experience hasn’t been too bad. It’s definitely an improvement from what high school was like!
Update: Oh yeah, they have Firefox on these computers! My high school didn’t have that. Another cool difference is the guys throwing a frisbee in the middle of the school and the giant clock tower.

Sounds a pretty damn good first day! I’ve got just a week until I’m in on the college experiences…

Matt the college guy,
Sounds like you took in a lot on your first day
Just make sure to take at least one philosophy course as they are can be pretty darn interesting (at least it was for me)

Thanks for the advice Brad. I don’t have a philosophy class this semester but I really want to take one next semester.
