I'll never forget the day my mother dropped me off at my off-campus house, the weekend before starting college. I remember looking out the window as she was driving off, and I instantly became home sick. But, my room mates took me out that next night (the Sunday before my first day of class), and by the time my 8:00am class rolled around the following day, I had a severe hangover, and was lacking sleep. That was the first time I realized how fun it was to be on my own, and not having to worry about any rules. Anyway, I went to the University of Akron, and I met a lot of people, became involved in a lot of organizations on campus, and partied a lot (probably too much). My grades did suffer a little, but I was able to improve them.
Looking back at my freshman year and undergrad experience as a whole, I have to say that those were some of the best years of my life. I could never do a lot of the things I did back then, because I'm living in the "real world" now (bills, job, more bills, etc...). The value of my freshman year and undergrad experience... priceless.
