MIDTERMS!!!

                Looking back on the first portion of the semester, I can honestly say I tried my hardest on every assignment and exam. Before school started I told myself that I will stay organized and on top of my assignments. So far I have been very pleased with the effort I have been putting in. The workload here in college is a lot different than the average high school workload. I am so used to having one to two hours of homework or studying. Now I have an average of three to four hours of work to complete each night.

                My biggest fear coming to this university was how was I going to do balancing my extracurricular activities with my academics. Keeping things organized in my life was something I have always struggled with. So I knew doing so here would be hard too. By really being hard on myself and making sure I was on top of doing what I was supposed to do. I would say I have overcome that struggle I was having. I will be honest in saying that I did have set backs where I would slack off and wait till the last minute to do things. But I quickly realized by doing so I was loaded with other tasks at the same time and I was left with trying to figure out how to finish everything on time.

                For the rest of the semester I am going to keep up with being organized but I am going to make sure that this time I don’t have any setbacks. If I can stay on top of my work and prioritize everything going on in my life I can have a successful rest of the year. I know it is not going to be easy but with hard work and determination I will be very successful.
