The college experience...

My truth from last week was that I barely turned 18!!! Your guys’ guesses were very amusing! I loved reading them! Thanks for playing! =]

My semester started off very easy, like how most school years start. I soon realized that the college work load was going to be much harder than what I was used to. I also realized that my study habits were not as good as they should be. I’m having a much harder time on some certain tests that I’ve taken. A lot of my work is beginning to catch up with me, from studying, cleaning up, homework, and more studying, it just wears me out. I know that other people have a much harder time than I do so I’m going to stop complaining, because things can be much harder for me.

Other than all of the work, my first semester in college is going great, although the whole “friends” situation is different, for example: I don’t know almost everyone in my classes, which is kind of a bummer, but the whole experience overall is a good one. I’ve met some new people, who are very nice, but I think that that’s all they’re going to be. College is more of a solo act, you don’t have all of your friends anymore to walk to class with, and so it can be kind of lonely sometimes.

For the most part, I love the schedule of college, how you get to pick your classes and the times in which you want to go to school. The first two days of the week, I only have one class in the day, and Tuesday and Thursday I have two classes, and I have Fridays off. Because I have a lot of work during the day, I love the fact that I always have a 3-day weekend! =]

I stay motivated by my dreams. I want to become a vet very much, and I want to move up to UC Davis in 2 years, and I know that I have a lot of classes that I need to take before I can make it there. What also keeps me going is my mom. She’s worked so hard for my siblings and I to make something of ourselves in this world, so most of all, I do not want to let her down.
