My first week of Howard was definitely an experience. Being completely unfamiliar with “college life”, I came in with open eyes, and I saw much more than expected. I would like to think of myself as an avid party goer, but after literally an entire week of partying, i realize that it almost broke me. Now that I have time to look back and reflect on my week of adventures, I can honestly say it was an experience I’ll never forget. After this first week of class, I am sure this year will be very busy. I can already tell my classes are going to take up most of my idle time, but I am investing in my future, so I guess it’s not that bad. One of my classes is Freshman Seminar and I have no idea what it is about. I really have no expectations, I’ve come to find that when you have expectations your increasing your chance of disappointment, so I’m going in blind. I looked at the rubric and there are surprisingly some interesting lectures. One of the most interesting lectures to me would have to be the one about the tearing of Africans from the homeland. I’ve always wanted to know more about the whole process of this forced migration, so hopefully now I’ll be able to become more educated on the subject. I believe that Freshman Seminar will give me a good taste of what some elective classes at Howard will be like. Even though the classes won’t necessarily be required for graduation, I still should take them in order to expand myself for life. As I stated earlier in the post, I rarely have expectations for anything, so when the question of have my expectations been met, I can not give a valid answer. I can however say that I can already feel myself falling in love with the school, MY school, so I suppose that means something.
