Coping with change

In July I moved here to El Dorado in an apartment by myself. This was change alone because I had never been on my own before. I began workin two jobs and attending classes at Butler. This was very time consuming. I was also paying all my own bills, cleaning my apartment, and covering extra expenses on my own. Some people would think of this as stressful but I look at it as becoming a better person. I want to work hard and achieve things on my own, as a student and as a person.
Change can be very difficult because you have to cope and get used to something new. If you are used to a certain lifestyle and it suddenly changes it can cause alot of stress. Change is not always bad though. Change is necessary for everyone. It is a part of growing up and accepting responsibilty.
In high school, it is easy to get by doing things half heartedly but in colloege there is a whole new aspect on things. You must study alot more and there is must more responsibilty. Diversity is another aspect. There are so many new people with different views on life. This is why change is a great thing! Emotional and physical changes are natural and healthy. Everyone experiences them when they start doing important things in life for themself.
I personally like change and initiate it whenever I get the opportunity to do so. Change is so important is todays world and I have a very positive experience with it so far.
