The ending of the first semester

11/20/2017

This is the last blog of the first semester, I will miss writing my two hundred and fifty words each week.  Most of my blogs might have not been as funny compared to some of my classmates, but I hope that they provided some good advice and information to those who read my blogs.  The time is coming to end for the first semester and I recently finished all exams.  Now all I have to worry about is all my finals.  I feel like I'm back in high school panicking about finals but now it feels like it's ten times worse now since I'm in college.  I've been doing pretty well in all my classes except for calculus.  I probably have a C or if I'm lucky and did well on my last week exam, then maybe I might have a B-.  In my English class, I have an A and our final is a timed write essay.  Hopefully he will give us a hint a few days before the final of the topic we would be writing about. For my Group Communication class, our final is a presentation about the effects of alcohol on college students and to write how our group worked together.  Lastly, I have my calculus lab which is a pass or fail class.  I'm almost done with that class, I just have one more lab to complete and I am done with the class. School is like a race.  In the beginning, you feel a rush of adrenaline and excitement.  During the middle of the race, you're starting to feel exhausted but you keep on running.  At the end of the race, you're exhausted and feel like you have no energy left but when you see the finish line, you stride as fast as you can to the very end of the finish line.

Time Flies

11/13/2017

It is crazy how fast my first semester of freshman year is almost coming to an end.  It's not like high school where you have two semesters for one class and now in college it is only one semester for that one class.  Just in a few more days, I will be able to pick my classes.  I already went to my adviser to talk about what classes I need to take for my major during spring, but we didn't really go over what general ed. classes I should be taking.  So far the classes I do know I'm taking is Computer Programming One, Calculus Two, Calculus Two Lab, and English 1007. Which is a total of twelve units.  I just need to find one or two general ed classes this weekend.  I'm almost finished with every exam. I just have one more exam in Calculus this Friday and then it is only finals for all my classes.  That's because in my English class we don't have any exams but one more essay. For my Group Communication class, I just took my last exam a week ago and I have a group presentation in December.  Lastly, my Calculus lab is credit or no credit, so it is not like we have a final but that we have to complete ten labs.  I'm almost done with the lab, I just have two more labs to complete.  So whoever reads this blog, please comment below of what easy general ed. classes I should take and the name of the teacher you took the class with and thank you.

The little things that bring me peace

11/06/2017

College can become very frustrating at any moment.  I sometimes find myself worried if I will qualify for the teacher grant due to my g.p.a or how I will do on my next exam.  There seems to be stressful situations always popping out of nowhere.  Sometimes, it's the little things that bring me peace and joy.  For instance, last Friday I had a dentist appointment and I was dreading the day and hoping that Friday wouldn't come. However, after I got out of my English class, it started to rain.  Just seeing the rain coming down brought me a sense of peace which  made me feel relax about my day and my appointment.  Another thing that relaxes me is just hanging out with some of my friends in the game room to play rocket league on our laptops.  I will admit that I'm a person who stresses about a lot of things and that it leads to me panic.  I used to be worse when I was younger but I have gotten better about stressing out and that it took some time for me to realize enjoying the little things in life can lead me to a less stressful life and a peace of mind.  Even taking a walk around the campus and looking at the little waterfall and hearing the waterfall coming down is amazing.  It's so soothing to hear the flow of the water.  It is about finding the positive things in my life are the things that can change my type of day.
