BEING A TEENAGER…

Being a teenager is no easy task. You go through a number of changes and a lot of pressure coupled with responsibility kicks in. With raging hormones in our bodies and young blood flowing through our veins, a teenager can be a walking recipe for disaster.

If there is anything more challenging than being a teenager, its being a teenager in college. The transition from high school to college is a big one. All of a sudden, you’re free to make your own decisions and choose whatever path you want. In high school, we had our parents and guardians to guide and monitor us. However, in college, those factors are removed. We move away from our families but we find a new family amidst our friends. Staying together for four years forges a bond that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible.

Friends help us get through hard times and sometimes, we may even find refuge in someone special. Someone who can help you find peace in times of extreme distress. It is impossible to get through college without having people you can count on for help. College can get hectic and tough at times. You face some good days and some bad ones. That’s just how it is; you have to find the things that you love and pursue them.

In short, college is a lot like life. It is not a destination but a journey. The goal is not just to get a degree at the end of your course, it is to grow as a person and to learn as much as possible. We have to make the time we spend in college memorable. Don’t just try to get through college. Take in everything it has to offer and along the way you will realize that you have with yourself lessons that last forever and friends who last forever !
