 Dear Senior,     Don't listen to those teachers. They all say how difficult college will be or how this won't work or that will cause you to fail. While yes college is more serious, it feels the same as high school. You need to pay more attention and try a little harder but as long as you somewhat study you will fly through the semesters as if you were sliding a hot knife through butter.  The professors are actually pretty understanding and want to help you as much as possible as long as you reach out to them. In general, the school experience isn't that new, it feels a lot like high school, but the sports are so much better. Track for me is properly training me and showing me proper ways to run and get in shape. In this aspect, it is ten times better and I feel amazing. So all together I think college is so much better than High School.

      When I was younger I was always taught that while hibernating animals would sleep the entire winter and never wake up until the snow melted and the heat reappeared. I had gone the greater majority of my life with this lie being my way of thinking, I never questioned it. One day as I was sitting at home I was reading an article where it described how hibernation worked and that some animals are hibernating for less time due to increasing temperature. When I had learned this I researched it time over time again until I finally came to terms that my childhood was a lie.

 This video highlights the lack of communication and also demonstrated a possible example of social anxiety. The video shows a group of people within a small area who don't even acknowledge the existence of anyone around them. The video seemingly could be aimed at my generation for the simple fact that a majority of our generation struggles in a social space not behind a screen. We became dependent on not being face to face with people which has lead to a lot of situations like the one shown in this video.
