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 obeys my parents, help-- my mother do the housework, never dared to answer my parents back, a daughter often asks for mother’s advice in choosing clothes. Now, I become another person, not being myself in the past. The university life has changed me a lot for the worse, not for the better.
First of all, the 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 persoanl affair, or even was seriously ill just to play truant. 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 came back home very late at night when my roommates slept already. I also break the school regulations very often such as: being late for school and do not wear uniform. My characteristics have been changed not for the better but worse since I started the university life.
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. I just review lessons when the examinations are coming. I even do not prepare new lessons before going to school. I think it is a waste of time, and playing games is 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 I do not need to go to class every day. From an outstanding pupil at high school, now I become a normal student learning for nothing.
Last but 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 go out for meals outside. 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. The floor is so dirty that my friends just shake their head 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 everything which the others have. That is the reason why I spend the money my parents give on clothes and anything I like without paying attention to the price. University life in a big city turns me from a person who treasures money into a waster of money.
In conclusion, university life brought me many negative changes in characteristics, learning as well as living style. When sitting alone in my room, and recall my memories, I feel regretful because of everything I made when I was a freshman. I do not want to be a person like this any more. All I want now to be myself in the past, and I know it is never too late to change my life for the better as long as I try to.
