I wish I would have known how hard it was going to be, and i don't necessarily mean academically but mentally and intellectually. Since I live on-campus, I don't have parents around to tell me what to do, wake me up, make me food to eat, and stuff like that. I have to be responsible and do everything on my own and it's a challenge considering that I have lived with my parents for 18 years. I had to become more independent so be prepared for a challenge, especially if living on-campus.

I wish I knew that I needed to be more independent and self-motivated. It was not like high school. I had to learn to become my own adult and motivate myself to keep up on work or get assignments done.
