College has been a very different experience than what I expected it to be. Originally, I thought that college was going to be the same thing as high school, easy classes and everything would be a breeze. However, I soon realized that college was not as easy as I thought it would be. Yes this semester was simple and straightforward, however instead of focusing on work I slacked off and left all of my work for later. Not that I know that I have to actually study and do my work on time, I am positive that I will do much  better in the second semester, because I will be well prepared for what’s to come.

I regret not joining any clubs in the first semester. I had the opportunity to meet new people and be involved in another social group however I didn’t act fast enough and now I have another thing added to the list of things to do for next semester. I really do like the way clubs represent and “advertise” themselves on the second floor, however, and I feel like talking to people there gets me more interested in the club.

Another thing about college is meeting people. I thought that I would continue to stay the shy, introverted person that I was in high school. Yet now I see that I actually interact with people more than I think I would. I still probably seem very shy to people, but I guess that is just the way my personality is. I’m just glad that in college I’ve become more open to talk to people.

Finally, college has made me realize that I can’t only focus on one thing. I need to be able to handle schoolwork, social events, such as attending clubs, and managing extracurricular activities such as jobs or internships. Because I failed at learning these in the beginning of this semester, I came to a late start when I should be expanding my horizons. Thankfully, I am more aware of what I should be doing in college now, thanks to classes such as Freshman Seminar!
