<p>Shy to outgoing? Good grades to bad? How have you changed?</p>
<p>Shy to less shy, mediocre grades to good, not doing homework to doing it</p>
<p>Yes quite a bit. I’m much less shy and have far more confidence. I still don’t party though, and don’t think I ever will, not my style.
My grades are still good. I still procrastinate a whole bunch.
I also have more interests (cooking, fashion) and exercise lots more.</p>
<p>I just graduated like a month ago lol.</p>
<p>Yes, I certainly think I have. </p>
<p>I’ve become much more outgoing socially. Also, even though I try to live in the moment, I feel that I’ve developed a much broader idea of what the real world’s like. I’m starting to pursue my future enthusiastically instead of waiting for opportunities to come to me. I’ve learned the difference between politeness and sincere affection. I’ve realized that drinking is not the big deal that it was in high school. I’ve realized that I’m just one of 6 billion. I’ve accepted that it’s okay to not try to be friends with everyone, and that I’ll probably never see 99% the people I meet ever again. I’ve come to realize how important my family and friends at home are. And lastly, I can now ride the subway like a champ.</p>
<p>Sorry if this is corny.</p>
<p>I don’t even feel like the same person.</p>
<p>No, I’m the same. I really don’t feel like I’ve ever <em>changed</em> per se; perhaps “grown” is the better word.</p>
<p>I’ve been the same kind of person since Elementary school.</p>
<p>3.5 UW at end of Senior year.<br>
3.73 UW at end of Freshman year of college.</p>
<p>Way more anti-social.
Way more studying.
Way less extra-curricular.
Way more intellectual.
Way less artistic.
Way more liberal.</p>
<p>I totally agree with you dshinka…I will graduate this year and I feel like I am completely different than when I came out of senior high school. The little stuff takes a back seat.</p>
<p>Coming off my first year of college, I think I’ve been a little more outgoing, not as shy as I was coming in, and a little more determined. I don’t think I’m a whole different person since graduatiing high school per se but I shown a little more growth and I just hope to continue on that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ditto for me, in all departments.</p>
<p>:cool: 10char…</p>
<p>freshman 15 ftw</p>
<p>non alcoholic to alcoholic LOL. unedumacted to educated. Grades went from bad to good. I agree with everything bdl108 said (it’s not corny, but true). I’m not afraid to speak up and voice my opinions now.</p>
<p>i believe my true personality came out and i was less ashamed about it. in high school, i was also very motivated, kind of manipulative, and determined but i sort of hid it so everyone thought i was really sweet and nice. in actuality, i had no problem using people and doing things to get ahead. yeah i know i sound kind of evil but doesn’t every high achiever do it to some degree? when i got to college, i felt like a small fish in an enormous pond. but then i realized it wasn’t really that different, i just needed a different attitude about it. i started becoming more and more determined to be accomplish great things so i took more risks, surrounded myself with like-minded people who i could achieve with as opposed to airheads i could easily control as i did in high school. i also stop letting people walk over me, became a lot more sarcastic (or just started saying what was on my mind), started drinking smarter, and became less activist-minded and more politically-minded.</p>
<p>I feel like a totally different person.</p>
<p>I’ve definitely become more experienced and knowledgeable about living on my own and dealing with personal finances and city life. I felt more outgoing in high school, but not by much. It was a smaller pond back then, and I was surrounded by people I’d known since primary/secondary school, and so I was more comfortable to some extent.</p>
<p>My study habits went the other direction, though. I worked hard in high school and started burning out in college due to lack of motivation and other life problems. My grades took a bit of a dive.</p>
<p>I feel more apathetic to drama. Problems that went on back in high school just seem so pointless to me now. Whenever I hear of people in such situations, I feel like saying “Get over it. There are more important things to worry about.” </p>
<p>I have learned TONS more about relationships, and I’ve adjusted as a result. I interact with girls much differently. There are mistakes I made as a result of my personality in the past, and looking back, I am shocked at how foolish I was. However, I’ve also become more assertive and I let people know when something bothers me or is causing disruption.</p>
<p>I can’t say for sure yet if the changes have been for the best. Once I get into a different environment, I’ll know with more certainty.</p>

<p>Haven’t really changed, persay…evolved or grown are better words for it.</p>
<p>Rocky start for me. </p>
<p>More social but still kind of shy >.< Going to try to break it soon. Still kind of the same person but a lot more intelligent. I’ve been exposed to science in a different light. </p>
<p>I’ve done better than HS but last semester, it’s called when you’re in love and you’re taking crazy classes during the semester and with a crazy schedule, grade drop considerably. </p>
<p>I’m making it up during the summer. After that fall, I have learned a lot about college.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure emotionally/intellectually. I’ve sure lost a lot of weight and look more mature though.</p>
