I was not prepared for the vast amount of work that awaited me when I came to university. I figured it would be a lot more work than high school, but I had no idea that it would be so all time consuming. I am currently working on a huge research paper that is basically taking up all of my spare time and I feel like I am getting nothing else accomplished.

I should have known when I wrote my application essay that it would not be any easier when I actually got accepted. I thought that the first year of college would be similar to the last year of high school. Boy, was I wrong. I have never had to manage a course load like this before and I took a lot of classes in high school.

I do have to say though, that the one thing I like more about college is that you have the option of doing an online essay rather than printing it out and handing it in to the professor. This way you really can take to the very last minute to get it done before it is due.
