Here's a Little Bit About Me

My name is Colin Chaplin. I am an 18 year old from New Jersey and I am about to start college in the fall. I always imagined I would end up at a small university, however during the college search I became increasingly interested in things that led me to Rutgers. While it is "ranked 15th in the state" and has great opporitunities, there are a plethora of challenges that come with attending such a large school. I went to an elementary and middle school with a class of about 70, went to one year of middle school with a class of 200, and then went to high school with a class of 60. Needless to say: a class of 8,000+ students is something I am completely unframiliar with. I do find though, with a lot of things, that if I share my struggles and document them I am more likely to get through them. I remember trying desparately to drop out of my high school when I started (it was a specialized school for the arts) and when I told someone I wanted to drop out and he asked me not to, it was like I had something to work towards. If I document this challenge on a forum where nobody reads it I will at least be able to kill to birds with one stone. I will document the challenging environment of college while simulataneously learning how to use HTML through neocities. That is the premise of this site. I want to learn some basic website coding, which hopefully improves as time goes on, and also solidify my standing at Rutgers and hopefully find my group of people wherever they are.
