The End

I can’t believe that we are already at the end of our first semester. It’s crazy how time flies by. Looking back on this overall first time college experience has been great. Sure, there have been times where I just wanted to give up and just not want to go to school anymore. But I am glad I didn’t. I just still can’t wrap my head around the fact that my first year in college is half way done. Going into college I thought I was not going to be able to do it especially, with being on my own. It was a big change for me to say the least. I was not mentally prepared for leaving behind my family and, living in a different city. I am very close to my family so, it was going to take some time to get use to. Another thing that was different was the work. The class work I mean. I noticed that college is very fast paced and, you learn a lot in just a few short months. It can sometimes get to be too much especially, during midterms and finals, with everything being due around the same time. You just are going to have to know how to manage your time wisely so, that you can get your things done. If you know certain things are going to be due later in the future then, it is best that you start doing them early on. So, that you can have more time in doing them. This first semester of college has been a huge significance in my life. It has taught me to not give up on myself and to keep pushing myself. It has been good so far and, I hope next semester goes just as better!

Time is Ticking

Today I realised that there are not that many days left for this semester and, winter break is just around the corner. It is going to be good to go home and not have as many worries as I do now. The only thing bad about these last final weeks to come is that I, and like many others have to stay on top of their school work. It can be hard because most of my classes have assignments due and they roughly land being due together all at the same time. For instance this week I have three papers due and a project that we will be beginning to get started on in class. It can be so tiring when I have everything due all at the same time and I sometimes find it hard to stay focus on one thing for so long. Especially with all these papers being due! I actually like writing papers but, it is hard doing research and putting your focus into multiple different ones at the same time. I am midway through them but I feel like they are not the best of the works I have done before. I am trying to still stay focused. So this week I am trying to manage my time wisely and the rest of my future weeks. I am just looking forward to getting these papers done and the rest of things that will come up and, for a much needed break just like everyone else.

Plans

Last week I was in the hospital since Wednesday night, it was lucky for me that I did not have class on Thursday and the only one I missed was on Friday. When I was in the hospital and stayed over a few nights, I felt so behind in my studies. I had the entire rest of the week and weekend planned out about how I was going to divide up my use of time so, that when it came to this week I would not have to worry about what needed to be finished and would be able to just go over it and turn it in. I now feel extremely behind in all the papers I need to finish and with my notes. I know this week will be a bit stressful and hard to keep up with but, I have to find some way to get all my things done. My mother always told me to never make any plans because you never know what could happen and what can change. I know this is just a bump in the road and there would be more soon to come but, it just sucks knowing that I was on top of my school work and now I stumbled back a bit. I am sure and know that whatever happens I will get my assignments done on time. I would just be a bit more under pressure is all. I just have to come back with all I’ve got and continue to push through and not feel discouraged.
