College, Just Do It

I am 22 years old and I'm currently in my first semester at the local community college. I'm going to school to receive a degree in Accounting and get my masters in Business. Right now I'm taking 3 online courses and 2 on campus classes. I love my computer class the most right now. It's a very interesting course and the instructor is great! I feel like I'm going to have a lot of fun learning from him. He's so passionate about what he does and it shows. He's just really animated when it comes to his teachings and that is what grabs my attention. I see him excited and it makes me want to be as excited! More instructors need to be just like him. Anyway, moving on with college life :) As I mentioned before I'm 22 years old and a freshman in college. I was extremely scared to attend college after high school. I wasn't sure if it was the fear of failing or the fear of meeting new people. I've had my fair share of minimum wage jobs and barely over the poverty line before figuring out that in order to become a successful person now a days I need a degree. So for a few years I toyed with the idea of going to college but what for? It wasn't until 2009 when I decided I wanted to become an Accountant. I applied to the college and got accepted, then orientation came and I chickened out. I had a long conversation with my sister-in-law (best friend) about how I was really scared to go to college now that I wouldn't be going with anyone I knew and I was afraid of just not succeeding. Well, she told me that she had been struggling with the same issue for that past 10 years. She wanted to get her degree in Accounting as well so the two of us decided to apply together and just do it! We had no reason to be afraid or feel embarrassed because we had waited a few years before making this decision. The first day I admit I was a little timorous but I soon got over it. I love it to say the least. So my advice to you is, if your a current high school student, recent high school graduate, stay at home parent who never "had the time", even an apprehensive person, who's been fooling around with the thought "Well I want to go to college but I don't know if I want to do it right now." Don't think another minute, stop making excuses and JUST DO IT! If you don't know what you want to do exactly, just take the core college classes and think about what you'd like to do. You will thank me later. :)
