correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 12. 
 College is a new and different experience for me. I am away from home, so I have many things 
to adjust to. Being on my own, talking with friendly people, and having Fridays off- these are just 
some things I like about college. 
 Living at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My 
parents are not around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” or “Did you finish your 
homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the responsibility of handling 
my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I 
could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks 
around here or where they were located. Someone told me to go to a bank named Continental Federal 
Savings. And I had to make my own decision - whether to have a checking or saving account and 
whether or not to get a card. I’m on my own to make my own decisions. 
 I also love to have Fridays off. I wouldn’t be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. I 
love to sleep in. One Thursday night, my roommates and I went to Georgetown. We got in rather early 
the next morning, and my roommates and I decided to sleep in, something I couldn’t do in high 
school.
