I was expecting college to be stressful and boring. But actually if you manage your time WISELY it’s doesn’t have to be so overwhelming. College was what teachers said it was; reading and essays. I think it’s actually better then high school; you learn what your interested in and there’s no useless homework each night. But it’s not that party gone wild I was expecting it to be; it’s just I place you go in and out of each day for 4 years.
I definitely think I could have done much better. Unfortunately, I brought some of my old high-school habits along with me. So my goal next semester is to manage my time, STOP procrastinating, take the train on time and be the student I know I can be.
I would try to do my best and stop slacking off. I know that college will pay off so I’m going to stop being lazy. If restless nights are what I need to have a career I’m willing to sacrifice as many hours of sleep necessary. Also come out of my shell more and be the goofy girl everyone in family knows me for.
I’m thinking more about my future. I know I’ve made some academic mistakes but I know I can be better. I realize that college is just the beginning of a new life. College has allowed be to be less afraid of being independent and allowed to understand it’s not about making other people happy but about making myself proud of my own accomplishments.
