What are those things that one takes for granted while living at home and attending high school? What changes will you face upon entering college? When preparing for college, everyone thinks that it is easy just like high school. What they forget about is the fact that when you go to college and you're away from home, family, and friends, you must do everything on your own. I was a naive young adult who was going to attend college for the first time. Neither one of my parents had gone to college prior, so they really couldn't offer me any insight into what college would be like. The only advice my parents had for me was "Study hard, son."

On one occasion, I happened to be in line waiting to talk to one of my professors during his scheduled time when he offered students assistance. I was barely waiting in line 15 minutes when the professor came out of his office and said, "That is it, I am done for the day." I as well as the other students standing outside his door where left scrambling for some tutor or assistant to answer our questions regarding the test that we were going to have the following day. I was very disappointed with the professor's attitude toward his job and the students.
