Going off to college

I’m going off to the University of Washington next year (along with what seems like a quarter of the senior class), and I honestly don’t know what to expect. I’ve heard it has a beautiful campus and there are thirty-two thousands students roaming the school grounds, but the size doesn’t worry me yet. I think of it as a couple Punahou campuses put together, and when I think about it like that, it doesn’t feel as big anymore. I’m probably also going to have to get a job there while attending school which would be a first for me since I’ve only really worked in the summer. There is obviously enough time for me to do study and work as long as I don’t waste too much time like watching the television all day or putting things off until they’re due. The one thing I do have an advantage over many people is the fact that I know I can reasonably take care of myself without my parents as they have left my brother and I at home for long periods of time. The only thing is there’s gonna have to be someone to remind me to keep on task, and not procrastinate until I learn how to do that successfully for myself. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to keep me in check. One thing I can’t imagine myself doing though is skipping class. A friend of mine once broke down the tuition of college and we realized every class would practically cost a hundred dollars if the tuition is about fifty thousand. If everyone else knew this, I’m pretty sure a lot less people would be willing to skip class. Hopefully, Washington will be a place where skipping won’t be a problem.
