SUCCESS!

I have had many great successes this semester. Some may be more important than others, but I feel that I have made myself the college student that I would want to be. I have changed a lot this year as a person. I think my greatest success is kind of an indirect one. I am so proud of myself for being able to upkeep the workload as well as my job, and social life. I’ll be honest it was really hard to do this. 

Overall, it took some time to get used to. My boyfriend definitely was not happy at first because I was kind of missing all the time. I think every student needs to find their balance in life, a schedule that works for them. As far as failures go, I guess I failed when it came to trying my hardest on all assignments. I did skip one every now and then before I was able to manage all the tasks in my life. I would also work so much that I was overtired, and would sleep very late in the morning, either missing or coming late to class. Sleep was probably the most valuable thing I lost since starting in school.

 When you have more chores to handle, it means less time for everything else. I really think I will take so much from this first semester. I knew that college is a new experience when it comes to work, friends, and environment, but nobody ever tells you how much you really learn about yourself too. I’m proud of the maturity and responsibility I have gained since becoming a student at Southern. If I could give any advice to new students it would be to not stress the little things, and take it all a day at a time. It will all be resolved before you know it.
