First Month of College

Well I've made it through the first month of college, literally speaking that is. I'm still here and I'm still enrolled, it's my mental resolve that I'm slightly worried about. I really underestimated the shock from high school to college. I feel like if I don't write down every word that my professor says during class I'm going to miss something. I'm constantly checking my schedule and calender to see if I've missed any assignments. I don't know, I either need to cover my room in post-it notes and leave little reminders to myself, or I need to take a moment and just breathe. I have met a few interesting people which is quite a comforting thing. I was worried that my choice to not pledge might hinder me in the "new friends" aspect of college, but so far it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. The food isn't bad at all, I really enjoy walking around campus (I could sit and watch people trip on the bricks all day), and my professors are really awesome. However, if I don't get a better handle on the academic aspect I might be in a bit of hot water before I know it.
