My Problems During College Life

Carrie Shen

      A college student has to face lots of challenges. I have studied in the college for two years. Although I have a great time in the school life, I still face many difficulties and problems. There are two serious difficulties for me to overcome before I can handle my life well and be a mature adult.

     First, I didn’t manage my time well. My life had changed a lot after I lived in the school dormitory. My teachers and parents didn’t nag me like before. I was happy and wanted to do many things, such as doing part-time jobs and playing with my classmates to have fun. However, I ignored studying English. One day, I went to a cram school interview for a job of teaching assistant. After taking several tests, the manager told me that my English ability was weak and asked me to leave. I woke up suddenly and realized that I had no competition at all. I would fail in reality even though my grades were good in the college. As a result, now I separate my time into two parts-- studying and relaxing. Meanwhile, I always keep this shameful experience in mind to remind myself to study hard.

     Second, I wasn’t responsible for myself completely. I fell in love with a boy and relied on him totally when I was a freshman. Unfortunately, we broke up, and I found that I couldn’t do anything without him. At that time, I didn’t know how I could live and was extremely depressed. Now when I look back the past, I always remind myself that I am the only person who must be responsible for my life. I don’t need others to approve my identity. I need to live for myself and be independent.

      Finally, though a college student can experience lots of things, it is not easy to be a successful one. I consider that people won’t grow up until they fail the course of lives. After facing these obstacles, I am much stronger than before. They are just problems I need to face in my life. Eventually, I am ready to embrace any difficulty in life and grow to be a mature woman.
