I’m in my fourth semester as a college student. I think it’s reasonably safe to say that by now, I have the hang of it. Yet, even to this day, I am still finding unexpected side effects of being homeschooled.
The first months of freshman year have long since passed, I no longer run into (as many) people worried about my socialization abilities. Thank goodness that’s over with. But I’m definitely still trying to figure out how to not stick out constantly.
The small things that I’m beginning to remember in order to blend in: for example, putting my name on the top of the paper. Dear professors: that one last nameless paper you waited till last to hand back is mine. Always.
