The last weeks of summer I sat back and watched all my friends leave for college. It was sad a depressing, but I did get to look foward to my college experience in the city. I've always pondered between the college experience of dorming, sororities and football games, or having the city as my campus and commuting. I came to to conclusion Columbia was the right choice for me. Going away to college you would think comes with a lot more responsibility and being more independent. I have came to realize that's the case for wherever you choose to go. Even though living at home still, I am just as much independent as any of my friends, and have just as much responsibilities. I have to wake up on time, catch the train on time, and make it to class on time. So commuting isn't as easy and enjoyable as it may sound. A lot of things have changed since high school though. I have to be more independent now, and take care of myself a lot more now. Going to Columbia I feel I get a total different college experience than others, but I also gain a lot of experiences as well, and it'll help a lot once I'm off on my own.
