My college life

How time flies! It has been one and a half year since I came to City College of Science and Technology. Chongqing University. In thoesetimes, many things have happened. I also meet a lot of friends here.

One and a half year is not too long for life. But it has changed me a lot. For example, from the day I was born to the day I went to school, I had never left home alone for a long time and do everything by myself.

How to deal with my roommates and classmates?These questions were all difficult for me to work out at that time. Today I can get on well with them and do everything in life calmly. But all these changes were not easy for me. Sometimes I feel lonely, angry and also homesick. But fortunately I meet a lot of good friends. They helped me spend these sad days. I find words can’t express my sincere thanks to them. When they need help, I will do everything I can to help those who helped me before.

I'llhaveanother three and a halfyearsincollege,which I will treasure with my friends. I believe everything in college will be my great memory in my life for ever!
