Excerpt
College is an intimidating first step for many students. There is the worry of purchasing the right books, finding the correct building, and worst of all: the pressure of doing well. The fear of messing up and not being as prepared as you thought you were is overwhelming for all students, especially during their freshmen year of college. All of the stories from family members, teachers, and friends begin to creep in on you during those last remaining weeks before classes start. You wonder if their horror stories will become your reality. Finally, the big day comes: all of your books are organized on the shelf by class, you have every writing utensil imaginable stocked up and ready to go in your book bag, and a single notebook ready for your first class. The class is called: Core: The Human Experience. You are not sure what that is supposed to mean, but it’s required, and that scares you even more. You walk into the classroom and take a seat, not too close to the front but not all the way in the back either. The time comes, and class begins.
