' S, ' ,..v tC • t .. ' ' ' ' You have to live and learn The words learning, friendships and college go hand in hand. After graduating from high school, college is the next step for many people; it serves as a transition prOCeSS from childhood to adult- hood. Many students find it to be an exciting and rewarding time. Lucas Rogers, a freshman psychology major from Milledgeville, sees college as the chance to experience life to the fullest. Various experiences shape who we become, and college is one of them where we are gaining more than an education. At a school with more than 30,000 students, we meet people of all types of backgrounds, cultures and races daily. They may be acquain- tances or they may become our friends. Bart Pennington, a senior agricultural economics major from Haddock, Ga, says that the diver- sity of friends I ' ve made at UGA has taught me more about myself than any other experience. Many students move away and learn to survive without the com- forts of home. When asked what the college experience is, Fernando Avella, a sophomore management information systems major from Long Island. NY, replied, College is having a feeling of complete freedom at your hands and also being completely responsible for your I own actions. Because of this, students are forced to learn and master § life skills and social functions-such as paying bills, partying all night, making mistakes, taking naps, doing laundry, and budgeting time- things that are all a part of growing up. At the end of their college career, students leave the University with the knowledge and skills they win need for the future. %. In learning to manage their time and activities, many students like Keith Smith, a junior Business major, find themselves doing too many things at one time. Experience « 23
