extreme adjustment

I never think college life would that be so different from highschool life. I thought I can easily adjust but it was really a big mistake! I can still feel the hangover of being a highschool student. I can still remember how our teachers in highschool spoonfed us with our lessons, ordering us to copy lectures, projects and so on.. Now I realized that I really have to adjust well in order to cope up with my new world: the more serious one, and the more crucial one. I have to think more seriously now for my very own future. I should lessen my recreational activities now. All I have learned is I'm now taking up the consequences in order to reach my goals.
