Already, the first month of college flew by really fast. So far, things aren’t going the way I wanted them to be. Before starting college, I was determined to try my hardest; paying attention in class, finishing homework on time, and studying. However, everything seems to be going in the opposite direction. My homework is piling up and even worse, I doze off in most of my classes. Somehow, I better start fixing these flaws before something bad happens.
Before my stressful days began, I lived a relaxed, comfortable life. Sometimes, I wish I can relive my carefree moments. I remember the time I went picnicking with my family and friends. There were many activities there. We had three-legged race, piggyback ride, volleyball tournament, and even a hula-hoop contest. The most humiliating moment happened when my uncle offered me money to do some pull-ups on a large tree branch. He said he would pay me $5 for each pull-up. I couldn’t resist the easy money. The branch snapped after a couple of pull-ups and I landed on my back. About twenty people saw this and my dad thought I was trying to kill myself. Luckily, it was time to go, so I quickly packed my things up and left.
Although I experienced one of the most embarrassing moments in my life, I consider this day worth reliving. I wouldn’t mind having a day without any thoughts about upcoming midterms and unfinished homework. Nevertheless, this is reality now and I cannot give up if I want the best possible future for myself.
