When I was in my first year of college it made me yearn for the days of GCSE coursework.  I did not realize going into it, that college was so much harder than high school.  At least the teachers in high school, had a little bit of compassion.  I found in college that I was nothing more to the teachers than a number.

I thought it would be great if I could just go back to high school and do my A level coursework forever.  It was what I was good at and I was wonder if I would ever find something that I was good at ever again.

I guess it’s not that college coursework is so much more difficult, it’s that there seems to be a lack of help available and I felt a little bit lost in such a big university.  Maybe, in fact, I was just not as ready as I thought I was to leave home.
