My College writing

One aspect of my writing that has improved is me not using you as much because in the beginning that’s all I used.  Also something that has change in my writing is I’m being more clear about what I’m writing about and not just saying certain things that have to do with what I’m writing. One aspect of college writing that is challenging is having to word everything in your own way. College writing in the beginning was hard but now I’m getting use to it so it’s not as hard as before but there is still some aspects that are hard. Another aspect of college writing that I enjoy is how I can express myself in a way that no one can because when I’m writing about something it’s going to be something different then someone in the class is writing about.

My first day at city tech

My First day of college at city tech was full of excitement and a little bit of anxiousness .It was cool to walk in to my first class and see a whole bunch of new faces. Before I even started at city tech I went to a class in the summer where I actually met two of my friends. And one of my friends actually has the same classes as me. Also I had a couple of issues with my financial aid because I thought that I handled it my senior year of high school but actually I only put my other schools that I thought I was going to attend but I ended up at city tech, and I didn’t have any financial aid. But it all worked out in the end and I’m very happy about that because I know I wouldn’t want to pay out of pocket for college. My experience so far in city tech has been good and I actually thought that it would be different because when I made the transition from high school to college I thought I would look at everything differently. I really like my professors they teach very well and they make it pretty easy for me to understand as a first year college student. Also I like the freedom that I have because when I was in high school I didn’t have any freedom to go out to eat or doing anything else for that matter. But college has made me more happy in that sense and I like the fact that I can meet a lot of new people and a lot of people may have the same major as me and that can lead to some new friendships.
