Ever wondered what goes on in the life of a typical freshman in university, who lives in the hall and is active in sports? University life is demanding, challenging and overwhelming. I feel unsure, ineffective and at a loss. To fit into the university culture, I had to leave the familiarity of my old environment and friends, adapt to new social norms and learn new behaviors. University life offers many opportunities for advancement and distraction -- there are so many modules to choose from, things to do and clubs to join. The more the choices, the more likely I end up without a choice. Not knowing what is best for me, not wanting to miss out in any activities, I find myself at the crossroads.
Campus living is an integral part of my holistic educational experience. I chose to stay in a hostel not because I stay very far from school, not because I want freedom, but because I want to experience hall life. This is where I can mingle, interact and take part in hall activities, social functions and cultural activities. It is through hall life where I can develop determintation, confidence and independence. So far, hall life is like a packet of jelly beans, full of colours and vibrancy.
Ever since university started, it stole my sleep, snatched my solitary moments and robbed me off my weekend. I have less time at hand; my lifestyle has to change. This is me, with a spirited university life, stiving for my honours.
