First Week of College

Brad Campagna Kathy ORourke College has so cold exceeded my expectations in a huge way. As a new member of the ice ice hockey squad there were many uncertainties and worries, as well as tons of excitements and anticipations. Obviously the biggest part, direct, was nerve wracking and exciting too. In college hockey its very common that players take a few long time off of school previous to attending, to play hockey in junior hockey leagues. This created a bit more nerves and so excitement for the classroom aspect of school since ive only taken 3 college courses since graduating high school, making it a bit harder to get back into the swing of things.Besides acquire back into school routine, being a hockey player in college has made the beginning of school an unbelievable experience for me. On move-in day plot of ground still in the process of getting everything together, my roomie and I met the first player on our police squad. Since my roommate is also on my team it was a hug e relief to meet someone before our parents crimson left. Since then its been smooth sailing and check made number of friends on the team, many which I already know ill be very near friends with in the future. This was probably the biggest relief for me so farthest because I had no idea what to expect.I kept worrying about how the kids, especi every(prenominal)y the new recruits, would be and literally every one is an awesome person. I didnt realize how much being on a sports team would help me put to work friends this fast, which I am extremely grateful for. Weve all had so much period of play already and we are just one week into school. On top of all of that, we are all at least 20 years old and up as freshman. I think this gives us a big advantage of transition for things like college because we are all at least cardinal years more mature then we would have if we had gone right from high school.Now that is not to sound my or any of my friends horns, but I do feel as if t he maturity level is unquestionably higher then it would have been by the overall way we carry and present ourselves as contradictory to being 17 or 18. If the year is going to continue on like this, I undersurface only imagine how much childs play its going to be. This is also all going without mentioning the hockey part. hockey hasnt even started yet which excites me that much more. I think and hope we have a very candid team that can do very well throughout the season. Now obviously college isnt all fun and games.The school aspect of college hasnt really sunk in yet since were not very far into the semester. It definitely concerns me somewhat, but I think I entrust end up doing well. I naturally have a good work ethic through hockey, so I plan on apply that into the classroom. Sure it result be harder sometimes because of practices and games and whatnot, but thats what my teammates and the rest of the accommodations that Potsdam supplies for us are for. Its a good start for me professor wise, since pretty much all of them seem to be very good at what they do.The only thing that has gotten me a little annoyed and anxious about is all the reading. Reading takes up a lot of time and that what most of college is. My time management needs to be very good if Im going to do well this year. I hope my next four years here will just keep getting better and better as I meet new the great unwashed and explore new things. There is still so much I havent done yet and so many experiences I have to look forward too as long as my school works stays up to par.When my career at Potsdam is over I hope I will have accomplished my goal of excelling in every way whether its school, hockey, friends, friendship status and more. Obviously I plan on having my degree whether I continue with my Business major or change to something else. I hope and expect to have good grades throughout the whole experience not just getting by. I also expect to do very well in hockey and hop e to make an immediate impact on the team and carry it out through the whole four years here.I also hope to have my friends that Ive already made be my best friends and friends for the rest of my life. Finally by the time I leave Potsdam I hope to have had a big impact on the overall community. The hockey team stresses a high importance of being active in the community and having a positive attitude in every place in every situation. So far theres been much positivity here and I will be contributing to that as much as possible. If my whole time at Potsdam is going to be how this first week has been, then I evaluate having an extremely good experience here.
