Narrative Essay - My College Experience

 

            On my list of colleges that I wanted to attend while I was still in high school, UMKC was not first or even second. I wanted to attend a college that was not so close to home because I wanted to experience college the right way. Another reason that I did not want to attend UMKC was because pretty much anyone who had went to college from my dad's side of the family went to UMKC at some point. I had an uncle who attend UMKC back in the 90s and five cousins other cousins who attended UMKC in the recent years before I did. I wanted to start my own tradition in a way, however it never ended up happening.
             If I look back to when I was a freshman, all I can recall is going to classes and returning home everyday. It felt a lot like high school because I was not involved in any other club, activity, or extracurricular activates, so I did not have any reason to stay on campus other then to attend classes. This was not the experience I was expecting to get from college. My grades were the first year of college were really good, honestly the best I ever had throughout my college career, however I decided I wanted to get more social in college and gain more friends.
             The second year of college I decided that I was not going to live at home and was going to give the dorms a try. It turned out to be one of the best choices I made in my college career. The first week I was introduced to some guys in a fraternity called Sigma Alpha Epsilon and was interested in what that was all about. I was never interested in fraternities when I was a freshman, mostly because I was not completely sure what they were all about. After learning more about the fraternity, I was decided that joining was going to be a good idea. And it turns out that joining SAE was, actually, the best decision I made in my whole college career.
             I do not know how to explain where all the time went my sophomore year; it went by so much faster then my freshman year.
