Honestly, from my college experience I believe that ive changed so positively as a person. For example, when I began college I was so irresponsible with my money and so dependent on my mom that I couldnt even think for myself.

Staying on campus was really fun but through my failure in classes I had to learn that its ok to have fun but be responsible and get on your job and do what you came to college for.
