Why I am so glad that I chose Defiance College

There are so many reasons why I am so glad that I chose Defiance College, as the school that I wanted to attend to continue my education.  One of these reasons is that I have made many friends, who I have gained new relationships with. Second, I have had the chance to experience new activities and events that have helped me to grow as a person. Third, the staff at the college are willing to really get to know the students who are on the campus, which is something I really like. So these are the reasons why I am so glad that I chose to attend Defiance College.

The friends that I have made at Defiance, are ones that I hope to be friends with for a very long time. These individuals are always there for me when ever I need them. They are always there to help make me smile, and I am so glad that I have them in my life.

During my first year of college I have attended many fun events and activities, that have helped me to grow as a person. At the beginning of the year I was a very shy person, who was not really talkative with the students on campus, or the one that did not really participate in events. But as my first year has gone on, I have become more social with people on campus by having conversations with  them. I have also participated in many social events such as open mic nights, and attending school dances that we have had on campus.

The staff at Defiance College, are so nice to all the students on campus. They really do take the time to know each student's name. Everyday when I am around campus, they always say hi to me. This makes me so happy, to attend a school that has  allowed me to know the staff really well. I am so glad that I chose to come to Defiance.

My biggest regret in life

My biggest regret in life does follow the same "not" pattern. Basically, one of the biggest regrets that I have in my  life, is not having the chance to really know one of my classmates in high school. This classmate and I did not get the chance to know one another because, I was someone who did not really talk with all the students who were in my class. I would have had the chance to talk to this classmate, but then something very sad happened to this classmate. They were killed in a car accident.  I was vey upset to hear that this had occurred, especially since they were someone who was a student in my high school class.

I regret this situation because, I never got the chance to introduce myself to this person and never had the chance to have conversations or attend school events with this classmate. I really wish that I had been more open to talking with this person and not just the students who I had close friendships with. I could not "turn around this regret.  I really wish I could but I cannot. 

Having regrets relates to the course theme of lies and deception because, the regrets that people may have in their lives could possibly be  a lie, since people promise that they will be able to make up for their regrets later in life, but that  may not happen if they become too busy with other events in their lives.

My first year as a college student

My first year as a college student, has been one of the best experiences ever. During my first year of college,  I have made lots of new friends with my classmates and even with the upperclassmen on  campus. I would definitely say that I have a very close relationship with  my new friends, since I always hang out with them and we always talk with one another a lot.  My friends that I have made during my first year of college, are very special to me and I hope that our friendships will last for a long time. These friends are people who really care about me and they are there for me if I ever need them.
I have also experienced many fun events and activities during my first year of college. Some of these experiences include Open Mic Nights, cheerleading at the women's and men's basketball games, and helping out  with many fun volunteer opportunities. By participating in these events and activities, I have become less shy and become more confident in being interactive with the people who I have met during my first year of college. At first I was not very talkative around my friends and teachers , but this has changed since I am now able to have conversations with them. But I am so proud of myself for having the courage to get up in front of a crowd and sing karaoke with my friends at Open Mic Nights. I am also proud of myself for trying out for the cheerleading squad. So this first year of college experiences have helped me to grow as an individual and experience many new things that I have never done before. So I definitely have enjoyed my first year of college, and I cannot wait to see what the next 3 years will have in store for me.
