THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE OF MINE

College life is one of the most precious times in a student's life. Students found
themselves in a completely different environment from their past school days. Most of them
start to live an independent life. Therefore, college life brings students various experiences
which serve as a bridge between teenage years and adult life. Those experiences also have
different meanings for all individuals. Even though the experiences differ, most of the people
remember their college life years as remarkable and lovable. In this essay, I would like to
discuss my college days.
Firstly, I will briefly explain what my major is and my past college days. I started to
study psychology four years ago in Bogazici University. Since my major taught in English, I
was in prep school in my first year. It was the year that I enjoyed most. I was discovering the
historical places of Istanbul and having parties with my friends. I also visited different cities
such as Eskisehir, Bursa, and Balıkesir. First year of my college brang me wonderful
experiences. When I successfully passed the proficiency exam, I finally started as a first
grade psychology student in a completely different campus. The location of the campus was
so centric that I could reach the other districts of Istanbul easily. I was attending student clubs
like the cinema club. I also usually saw good movies in SineBu which is located in my
campus. Unfortunately, the new virus called Covid-19 spread all over the world which people
know nothing about. It was an anxious time period for individuals. As a result of the Covid-
19, I studied my second semester of first grade and second grade online; therefore, I was also
far away from my campus and friends. However, I wanted to be close to my university and
friends. I decided with my two friends to share an apartment in a neighborhood which is near
our university. From then till now, I lived in a small apartment with my two other friends.
Now I am a third grade student and love to study psychology.
Finally, I would like to describe a day of mine in college. My schedule is not busy all
week. On a usual day, I have around 4-5 courses. My waking hours also depend on the start
time of my classes. I usually wake up at 10:00 am. After I get up, I generally practice yoga or
do some morning stretches. Then, I have my breakfast. Most of the courses I took are taught
remotely; thereby, I usually attend my classes via computer. After my lectures finish, I go to
the Psychoepigenetics laboratory in my university. This lab is conducted by Dr. Elif Aysimi
Duman who is one of my lecturers. I take part in this laboratory as a research assistant. My
duties involved entering data, taking part in interviews with participants, and taking saliva
from participants’ houses. I usually spent two to three hours in this lab. Afterwards, I have
my dinner either in the university’s cafeteria or in my house. In the evenings, I spend some
time with my friends; sometimes I visit them at their homes, and other times we enjoy a cup
of coffee in a cafe. After that, I return home and go to bed at 12:00 a.m.
To sum up, college life offers students various memorable experiences. I had a great
time in college. I should say that I had difficult times, too. Since you are at the beginning of
your adult life, it is possible that you also encounter some obstacles. On the other hand, when
I think of those years, I only recall pleasant memories. I will do my best to keep adding to
these wonderful memories until I graduate.
