One of the many things I like about college is that there aren’t any bells, apart from the fire bell. In my opinion in school it felt like we were prisoners trapped until a bell sounded, but even then the teachers yelled at whoever dared to make a move to leave “The bell is an indication that the lesson is over for me not for you so sit down!” In college you are free to make choices for your self you have freedom to do whatever you want, within reason. I feel much more independent. College consists of seven periods, two in the morning, then a break, which is twenty minutes long, another two lessons, then lunch, and a final three lessons in the afternoon. Not all of these periods are taken up by lessons; nearly everyone has at least one free period a day. I have at least two free lessons everyday throughout the week. In a free period you have the choice once again to do as you like, the college even allows you to leave the college grounds and go home or to a friends, you can sit in the common room, which is a room with a juke box and just generally a place to socialise and relax and then finally you can also sit in the library where you can do homework or read. Personally myself I like to go to Walkers house, as it is only about five minutes away from college, here we sit and watch various music channels on Sky.
At break a large group of my friends and myself stand outside under one of the numerous trees that are outside the student entrance. Here we just talk about life and what’s happening in each of ours. One of my
Friends, Adam, has a cigarette. This brings me to one of my dislikes about college, the amount of people that smoke within the college. But one of my major likes about college is the fact that there are lots of new and interesting people to meet and make friends with.
My favourite subject in college is Business Studies as I find it the most interesting as I haven’t studied it before, but the subject which I find easiest is Maths as I enjoy maths alot and feel I am quiet good at it and find it appealing which is the reason why I now study it at A level. My most disliked subject is Key Skills. It is the dullest subject of all, all of my friends agree it is a mind-numbing lesson and it is such a complete waste of time. But i need this subject if I want to go to university, as it is a qualification they look for.
At lunch I meet up with a small number of my friends and we all head off to Safeway. This is where we all eat. Usually we all buy big stotties, which are just large bread buns, and we also buy a drink. It is very filling. I think I live a reasonably healthy lifestyle, as I don’t eat lots of junk food. I usually eat some healthy food like fruit. After lunch it is the worst yet best part of the day. It is the worst part of the day because the afternoons are lifeless and seem to last forever. It is also a good thing because we get to go home. Usually I have free periods last two, which is great because I prefer mornings to afternoons.
College finishes at 4:05pm this is the best part of college (going home) in my opinion although I enjoy college, I walk home with “walker”, well I walk to his house and then I go to “my better half’s house” Mandy Coates, my girlfriend. Mandy is my life, she is my pride and joy, and I love her with all my heart. Mandy lives in Roseworth which is about a half an hours walk from college, I usually walk there everyday after college. If I finish early I walk to my house and sit there until it is time for her to finish school, she goes to Blakeston School where she is in her final year. When I’m ready to meet her I get my little blue and silver BMX out and ride up to her school. I enjoy riding my bike it is one of my favourite hobbies and it helps to keep me fit. This is when my evening starts. When I’ve picked Mandy up we go to her house. Mandy’s house is my favourite place in the whole world I love to just sit in her bedroom with her and sometimes her sister Kelly. Kelly is cool, I adore Kelly she is the most outgoing, friendly, cheery and bubbly person I have ever met. Kelly is twenty years old but she is still cool. To relax there we lay on Kelly’s huge bed, having a drink, watching a video or listening to music. At 10:00pm I set of home on my bike.
In my entire life Mandy and Kelly Coates have had the biggest influence on me. They have made me the bright, cheery, bubbly, optimistic person that I am today.
The one thing I couldn’t live without in the entire world, apart from food and water is my gorgeous girlfriend Mandy Coates I couldn’t live without her love towards me. My life totally revolves around Mandy and our great relationship.
The one thing that can make me laugh or smile on the spot is Kelly.
Things that frighten me the most in this weird and wacky world are any people close to me like Mandy, Kelly my family or friends getting hurt I cant bare seeing the people I love upset or hurt.
The biggest achievement in my life is my lasting relationship with Mandy, we have lasted one year and three months and I hope that it lasts forever more.
