New Life

            As a freshmen just coming out of highschool, I am now beginning a new life .
             in a whole new environment surounded by people I really do not know is a really scary.
             feeling. And I know that is probably not half of what I may have to face as a freshmen. .
             In highschool as a senior I was the " top dog". Everyone wanted to hang with us and be.
             around us because we were in the "in crowd". And now I am like the little fish in a big.
             pond. And as a freshmen, right now the only people I know are those I knew from.
             highschool. And that is a scary feeling not knowing if you will be able to fit in with the.
             other students around you. While in highschool I remember how underclassmen used tok.
             ask upperclassmen where a certain class was or how to get somewhere and they used to.
             give them the wrong directions on purpose and that was pretty mean. And now that I am.
             here the first thing that ran through my mind was what if I asked someone for directions.
             to one of my classes or something and they give me directions somewhere completely.
             different.
             I have been told all through highschool that college professors are totally.
             differently from teachers in highschool. I was told that they just get in front of the class,.
             talk the whole period, and while they talk we take notes and take the test. I am used to a.
             teacher who takes the time and explain things until we have a good understanding of it.
             and helps the students out when necessary. And I know that the professors are not going.
             to carry us on their shoulders and guide us through every little detail, but not knowing if.
             they are going to take the time and actually help us when needed is a thought to think.
             about. I graduated 13th out of 150 students and my grade point average was 3.6. And.
             compaared to all the fears in the world you may have to face while going to school, I feel.
             not being able to sucessfully pass all my classes and keep my grade point average up to.
             where I want be able to keep my scholarship is probably the most fearful.

1. Reflection on Madonna's Life a Prayer

Madonna, a word known to some to mean the Virgin Mary. But for many, when such a word is heard, we think of the Queen of Pop herself. A woman who did as she pleased, stood up for what she believed in and set a new way of thinking about not only music, but about female participation in the music industry. She rose to stardom so quickly in 1984 that the public lost sight of her musical virtues and started to focus solely on her persona. We need to keep one of Madonna's greatest achievements in mind, the extent to which she was able to influenced the media and the public with her music, videos, p...

3. Application of Economics to Everyday Life

People experience economics in their day to day activities without noticing. I personally have experienced it when it comes to budgeting or choosing between certain things to buy.
