Can you imagine how the university life affects me? In the past, I used to be a model pupil who never knew what is playing truant, an obedient daughter who always obeyed my parents, helped them do the housework, never dared to answer them back, a daughter often asked for mother’s advice in choosing clothes. Now; however, I become another person, not being myself any longer. University life has changed me a lot for the worse, not for the better.
First of all, university life has changed my characteristics. It makes me become a professional liar. I often cheat my mother to have more money. I ask her for money to pay the school fee, to pay the rent, or to buy referent books, but actually, I use all the money to buy clothes, shoes, to go shopping. Also, I often tell lies when I want to cut classes. I have so many excuses. For example, I got stuck in traffic jam, had personal affairs, or even was seriously ill just to hang around. I am, in fact, rarely present in class. I just go to school when teachers check attendance. Besides, university life makes me become an undisciplined person. I think that I reach adulthood; moreover, my parents are not by my side, so I can do everything I want. I usually come back home late. Sometimes, I come back home very late at night when my roommates have slept already. I also break the school regulations very often such as: being late for school and never wearing uniform. University life makes me not recognize who I am now.
Furthermore, my learning style has been changed a lot. I have no interest in studying. From now on, there will be no one forcing me to study; no one can control my study. I study just to deal with teachers, to make my parents pleased. When working in group, I often let my classmates solve the problems by themselves. I rarely go over lessons at home, just review them as the examinations are coming. I even do not prepare for the new lessons before going to school. I think it is a waste of time, and playing games is much more interesting than doing homework. When the examinations are coming, I borrow my classmates’ notebooks to make photocopies, or search information about my subjects on the internet so that I do not have to go to class every day. From an outstanding pupil at high school, now I become a normal, even sub-normal student learning for nothing.
Last but not least, university life has worsened my living style. I become lazier than ever. I am now living in a big city which is far from home, far from my mother. Consequently, I never cook, just going out for meals. I also rarely tidy my room, and clean the floor. My clothes litter every where on the floor; my books are all over my desk; my left-over food is here and there on the table. Everything is so dirty that my friends just shake their heads and sigh whenever they enter my room. Terribly, I turn into a crazy follower of fashion. I want to be a person who keeps up with others, want to have anything which others have. That is the reason why I spend the money my parents give on clothes and things I like without paying attention to their prices. From a girl treasuring money, I am now a careless waster.
In brief, university life brought me many negative changes in not just characteristics, but learning and living style as well. When sitting alone in my room, and recall my memories, I feel regretful because of everything I have done since I was a freshman. I do not want to be a person like this any more. I would like to be myself in the past right now, and I know it is never too late to change as long as I try.
