Your mentality after high school will change immensely. While spending four years with people who care what you look like, or how intelligent you are can depict how you view yourself, yet in reality none of that matters in college. According to “ The tab” article on “ Staying in the high school mindset will ruin your college experience” the girl being quoted reflects on the fact that you are not the same as you were in high school. In high school one person may stay so wrapped up in your own selfishness that you don’t see the reality around them. However, when you go to college you have to understand this new mind set, that "You’re not growing if you’re not changing”. Having a more understanding and aquring a growth mind set can only improve your understanding and skills of acceptance.
Not only do you have to realize that no one cares about your appearance in college, nor do they care about about what “ high school accomplishments” you have. You scoring the last winning touchdown in your homecoming is not going to impress everyone. Going into, and after college, will make you more humbled because everyone brings something different to the table and you may gain knowledge or experience from others.

I agree that people will most likely no longer care about what the people around them look like but another question to be asked is, "will people still care about what they look like and continue to place restraints on them selves?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this article because it helps me feel better about myself already. I know that I didn't do a lot in high school and it made me feel less impressive, but I wasn't thinking about how I still have the rest of my life to live.
ReplyDeleteI have the same perspective on how college will change you, its a new beginning, a fresh start. We grow a lot from freshmen year of high school to senior year and we continue to grow as we experience life and it changes the way you see things.
