High School vs. College

Just the other day someone had asked me if I liked high school or college better. I had to stop and think a little bit. But in this entry I am going to compare high school life to college life, just because this is the only topic I came up with :)

High school. Every day you are required to go to every one of your classes. You can also rarely leave the building unless you had a pass to do so. The lunch food was gross as well, and it’s not like we had a lot of time to go and eat somewhere. We only had 5 minutes in between classes. Every day was the same. Same class, same hour every day. Also all classes were the same length of time. On the plus side, the homework was a lot easier and there was less of it. Teachers would get on you and remind you about any homework due for the next day. There were bells for the start and end of each Class. And every student was on the same schedule. It seemed like everyone knew everyone in high school, and no matter what hall you walked, it seemed like you would know that person and talk to them. but along with all those people can a whole lot of drama...

College. On the other hand, has a lot of differences. College is optional to you and you do not have to go everyday if you don’t want to. You can come and go as you please, even in the middle of class. Well I have never had a TC lunch but I do have time to go and eat somewhere. There seems to be a lot more time between classes and every day I come I have something different to do. There is a ton more homework now and it’s a lot harder. There is no teacher that “rides” you for not getting it done. No bell to end class, and that was a big change for me. I do not know hardly anyone anymore. It is more responsibility on me.

Personally I like some different aspects of both. And as of right now I cannot make up my mind.

This is a good topic! Your comparisons are right on. We had less freedom in high school,but sometimes I miss having less responsibility. How are you liking your first year here at TC? I am in my 3rd year here (yikes) and I really enjoy it.
