Setting the Tone for this Semester

Week 1 Blogging Assignment 1: Setting the Tone for this Semester

What is college? This question could be answered many different ways because everyone thinks differently. To me college is all about opportunities. Opportunities to in the end get the dream job that you want. But more importantly opportunities to take advantage of all that college has to offer. For me this means making my parents proud, learning about not only my major, which is nursing, but also about other subjects that seem interesting. Also learning about different people. I want to meet new people that I can learn from. Going to college does not only get you that great job in the end, going to college allows you to learn about different peoples opinions and give you insight to things you never knew existed. Being a college student means that you need to teach as much as you learn. I have heard teachers and professors tell me that they learn from me everyday. When you stop and actually think about that it is true. I learn from everyone I come into contact to because I'm open to different peoples opinions. I keep an open mind at all times so that I am constantly learning. My main goal for my college career is to become well rounded. This means well rounded academically, but also well rounded socially. I want to go to the football games even though I do not even know how football works because I want to learn while I'm there. I want to take the opportunity to go to the different lectures that are on campus to learn from the presenters. This is what college means to me. What does it mean to you?
