From high school to college

   Right now I live in the Bogish apartments at Texas Lutheran University with my husband, which is different than I was used to in high school. Their are so many transitions I was faced with  when coming to TLU, and the living space is a big transition. In high school I lived in a house with my mother, father, and brother and it had been that way for as long as I could remember. It was the same old thing everyday; my brother and I went to school and my parents went to work. I never had to worry about paying any bills, food, or even washing my clothes. I never had a job in high school so the only responsibilities I had was having good grades, which wasn't that hard to do. I was a care free high school student that had no obligations and really barely any responsibilities. I knew it was going to be different in college, but I never knew to what extent.
   On August 27th, my husband and I moved in to the apartment on the TLU campus and our lives completely changed. It was a big change because  was the first time I lived in a place where I was the one with the responsibilities to keep th house in order. Now I have to buy groceries, wash the dishes, wash my clothes, and make sure that my apartment is clean. It is so new to me to have so many new responsibilities that I never had before. At first, I was just a  high school student and now I am a full time college student, have two jobs, pay my own bills, and keep my apartment clean.It so different now compared to then, I can't believe in high school I didn't work and now I have two jobs. I guess it is a good transition to experience because it was a needed one. In high school I never appreciated the fact the my parednts always had the refrigerator and the cabinets full of rood and snacks and now I know how difficult of a task that is. Another transition I made was being single in high school to now being a married woman. It's a big change living with someone and always having someone to talk to whenever you want.College is so different from high school because now I have my own little family and my family back home to support me in whatever I do. The transition hasn't been the smoothest but its been fun.
