A Big Investment

Well classes didn't start yet and I have to say a lot of things.  I have come to the realization that college is more than just the 'best years' of a person's life.  College is like an investment.  College is like buying a house.  Most freshman doesn't think this way entering into college because, they don't know what it is like to buy a house, or even make an investment.  Sure, a variety of students may have sacrificed time for different activities and volunteer work, but very few children (who goes to college) knows the true definition of making an investment.  Making an investment can go two ways.  It can either make a person rich, or it can cause a person to lose everything.  It depends on what precautions an individual would take before he or she makes the investment.  So entering college year may be terrifying for some freshmen, but always remember, college is more than the 'best years' of a person's life.  College  is an experience that will change most individuals' lives, whether it's for better or worse.  When you find yourself in a sticky situation, always remember you're there for yourself and not for others because they don't pay for your tuition.
