College Was...

by Malik Xavier Copper

Where do I even begin detailing my college experience? Well, college was kind of like... I mean when you go to college things are... You know college was... Okay, so limiting my college experience into single phrase is pretty difficult but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I received all that college had in store for me. College took me on a journey of self-discovery where I learned the true nature of my merit. Throughout my college experience, I've dealt with a variety of inner battles, sometimes losing those battles and letting college get the best of me. Loneliness, self-doubt, insecurity, and heartbreak are just a few of those battles I had to fight but with each obstacle came a life lesson. This is simply a story of failure and triumph. It's a story of self-realization and reflection. It's a story full of growing pains we've all experienced at some point in our lives. In this book is everything I've experienced in college and hopefully, my story can be a testimony to someone out there trying to navigate their way through the obstacles of higher academia.
