The happy couple and guests enjoyed a superb sit down dinner, served by Darlene and Steve Szatmári. As son, Joseph Jr. gave a toast to his “New Life At College” Looking back on my first semester of college, I realize that it was a learning experience in more ways than the academic one. It was a time of adjustment from one lifestyle to another. While attempting this adjustment, 1 worked to maintain the academic standards I’d set for myself. Having enjoyed school in the past, I planned on attending Creighton University with little upheaval in my life. I discovered that the transition from a small high school to a medium sized university was more difficult than I had anticipated. Creighton is a fairly competitive, coeducational, Jesuit university located near downtown Omaha, Nebraska. A large number of the school’s undergraduates live on campus. Many students from Omaha have chosen to live in one of many dormitories. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages, I decided to remain at home. Since many of the school’s activities are planned on weeknights, it was difficult at first for me to feel a part of the university. Thanks to my friends living at Creighton, though, the adjustment of being a commuting student was made a great deal easier than it otherwise would have been. During the first semester, the majority of my time was consumed taking classes and earning money. The money was earned for my tuition through the college work study program. My work study assignment is in the Alumni Relations Office. There I do numerous jobs that include envelope stuffing, labeling, class list research, telephoning, and errand running. The people I work with have been friendly and supportive of my academic endeavors. I consider myself lucky to be working there. Currently, I’m a biology major. 1 don’t apply formally to the biology department for acceptance until sometime during my sophomore year. I haven’t firmly decided what I intend to do with my education at this time. I’m presently considering entering a career in the area of medical service. The particular branch of medicine that I’m interested in is that of medical research. Despite the many adjustments I found it necessary to make, I finished the semester successfully. I learned a great deal about working with people, deepened some already existing friendships, and made new friends. I reached the academic goals I had set for myself and made the Dean’s honor roll. I’m now at the end of Christmas break and I am looking forward to the next semester.
