My College Experience :: Personal Narrative Writing

My College ExperienceMy decision to replace schools from The University of North Texas to come to Penn State, leaving behind friends I had made was a difficult and long process. The months leading to the decision were filled with a surge of stress, and put strain on family and friends alike. Adding to the situation was the strain of my not having a car, and not being able to afford to fix my current one. heretofore with these factors pressuring me, I think I managed to make the right decision, and left UNT, and came to Penn State.I should have known right from the start that I would have problems. My head start day on the UNT campus I was told I would have to redo approximately all of my previous college work. They had different history, language, and English requirements than did my community college from Pennsylvania, and despite providing furrow descriptions, the classes that did match up, were named differently that theirs, so they denied transferring nearly all of my class es. After a fight, I resolved to take the classes that they required differently from my community college, for example, American History, where I had European history. Things were not fixed yet, but at to the lowest degree I was taking classes, and making progress.To further worsen things, I feral ill not a week into the semester. An initial strain of the influenza had me running a fever of 102, and made me pretty much unable(p) to do anything. I managed to get over it in about a week, but then I got a secondary infection which erstwhile again raised my body temperature to 102+. I finally went to see a doctor. He explained what happened why my fever broke and came back. He also electropositive antibiotics and cough medicine which got me on my feet again after an other week. When I came back, professors were not willing to work with me at all, doctors line of work or no doctors note. My physics class charge had a test the first day I was back, and I was coerce to take it tot ally unprepared. Needless to say I failed the test miserably. To my surprise, so did the rest of the class. I managed to catch up in all my other classes to the pointwhere I could expect a C, but I neer recovered from physics, and ended up needing toretake it, and having my GPA smudged.
