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.
