Setting the Tone for this Sememster


To me being a college student means that there are no acceptable excuses anymore and everything is always my fault.  There’s no where to place the blame except on myself.  At first this scared me to a point I just wanted to cry everyday but once I got on campus and settled in, it excited me.  I know that at SCSU, I will be given the tools I need to succeed in life.  The students as well as most staff was over welcoming and extremely helpful since my first visit to the University.  At orientation, my OA’s were more than willing to answer any question, no matter what the subject matter to the best of their abilities and if they weren’t sure of the answer, they found someone who could answer our question.  To me, these little things are what is key to success.  SCSU is a place where a student has all necessary resources he or she may need to succeed. 
            At Southern I hope not only to gain a degree but also to gain much more than that.  I hope to gain friendships that last a lifetime, memories that last even longer, and an education in as well as out of the classroom that I can continue to pass on during my life.  I know that by living on campus I have an advantage on making friends because I am basically living with these people so I have no choice but to make friends.  However, the friends I have so far, I made at orientation and we still keep in touch every single day and usually eat together at Connecticut Hall.   These goals do seem cliché but they are the honest truth of what I hope to obtain after graduating from Southern. I feel that with the professors, student body, and faith in myself, these goals are extremely reasonable and I cannot wait until the semester is in full force and my goals begin to be accomplished.
