My first semester as a college student is coming to an end and it went by so fast. I feel that I did very well do to the fact that I had a smooth transition into college life and great professors.
This semester I have learned a lot about myself as a person. I have always thought schooling is important and that you should take your education seriously because this is your future you are dealing with. In college I have noticed that I don’t wait last minute to do thing because in college you have a lot of things to do everyday and if you wait last minute you are going to stress yourself out. By doing assignments early I am not stressed and if something comes up last minute I normally can squeeze it in my day.
I had only one challenge this semester, which is a good thing. The problem that I had was with my Anthropology class. My teacher was very unclear of what she assigned to us and when I left class everyday I was always confused. I solved this by going to her office hours and trying to better understand what she was talking about. This kind of helped me but not really. Then I finally went to the head of the department and he talked to her and now so it explaining things better. It is very important in college that you self advocate for yourself because if you don’t then you will not succeed.
A lot of good things have happened to me this semester academically. First, at midterm time I had all A’s, which made me very happy because I work very hard. If you mange your time carefully it will pay off in your grade. Also, my professors were very helpful especially my English teacher because every time I had a question on my papers I would email her and she would get back to me within the hour. I have already made connections with professors in many departments especially education, which is my major. I feel that is never to early to talk to department head because it is important you have all of the classes completed because you want to get into your program. Lastly, I have made many great friends here, which makes your college experience that much better.
Even though there are a lot of things going on in college it is very important that you have good time management. I feel that I have always been good at managing my time. What I do to help me get all my work done is write everything on a post it and have it on my desk in order of priority when it is done I threw it in the trash. And may I add that feels good. This semester I made sure that I did equal quality of work for all my classes. Sometimes I would send more time on anthropology because it was harder to understand but other than that all my classes got equal attention. The result of doing my work this way was that I had high averages in the class and had a full understanding of the course material. I plan throughout my college career to do my work this way because it has been very affective for me.
The goals that I set for myself at the beginning of the semester where met which makes me very happy. I plan to do the same thing that I was doing this semester but I will have to up it up a lot because this semester was kind of easy for me. Next semester I feel that my classes are going to be more challenging but there is nothing wrong with that. I am going to have to make sure that if I need help I talk to my professor and mange my time affectively and I will have another successful semester.
