In the words of the great Asher Roth….I love college. I love college and I haven’t even started yet. I went to the Tri-C campus this morning to take my prep placement course and my actual math and English placement tests. I don’t mean to toot my own horn or anything, but it went GREAT! It felt SO good to use my brain for educational purposes again. I haven’t thought about school related stuff since I graduated high school in 2012, and I honestly shocked myself at how easily I picked up a school pace again. The placement prep course was set up like an actual class, and it felt really good to be in a learning environment again, even if it was only for two hours. It felt awesome to be able to interact with a teacher, and to learn and share laughs with other future students. Math was never my strong point through out my high school career, but I apparently learned more than I thought I did, because I was able to recall a lot of algebra based problems that our professor was going through with us. That made me feel really good, because I was so worried that I had forgotten a lot of skills and knowledge after I graduated. It’s nice to know that maybe some of this college stuff won’t be so hard after all. The English portion of the prep course and the actual placement test was a breeze. I’ve always loved literature and creative writing, so it was right up my ally. I was pleased to find out I got placed in Beginning Algebra 1 for my math course and College Composition 1 for my English course. I’ve never really been proud of myself about much in life. But I’m genuinely proud of myself right now, and it’s a fantastic feeling. Happy Friday everyone! Learn something new. Do something fun. Be kind to one another. -Sarah
