Final Self Assesment

                As a college student, I learned that I am more eager to learn than in high school. When I was in high school, I did all my work and projects just to do it and get the grade. Yet, not that I am in college my work is not got get a good grade, but to achieve my goal. In college, I know that doing all my work is not for others but for me and to make me happy, because it is for my future.  In my learning process, I realize that college is not a joke. You get no second chances, or extra credit. You can either mess up your future career or you can accomplish it.

                For me, my biggest challenges were finding good time management. I felt like I deserved time for myself but, I did not realize it was cutting into my school work. When I saw the result, (which was some bad grades) it came to me that I had to buckle down with my school work, and to treat myself later. I fixed my problem by training myself to my all of my work first and then to enjoy my spare time.  It was hard at first, but I eventually managed. Now I am confident that I am doing better overall.

                I think that my biggest achievement so far is that I have survived my first semester overall. I had a lot of ups and downs yet I managed to get everything done. I know students that have horrible grades or haven’t gone to class once. I have had pretty good attendance and I am not failing. Therefore, I am happy where I am and I am happy with my ending in the semester.

                Overall, I learned how to not only to stay above in school but also, how to stay overall healthy. I changed my diet to a lot more healthy. I switched from coffee to tea and I now eat a balanced breakfast of yogurt and fruit. It has made me feel better and prevents me from getting bad headaches which I used to suffer from daily. In the next semester, I hope to keep my well doings up. I feel very prepared for next semester, because I have survived the first. Now, I know the do’s and don’ts. I now know what I need to buy for college school supplies and I know that you should never spend your money on unhealthy foods on campus.

                My grades this semester have been pretty good. In the beginning of the semester I was having a lot of trouble adjusting to college work. I eventually improved my grades. I would guess that my semester grades would be in the A and B range which makes me really happy with myself.

                From here, I want to continue my education and college career. I want to stay focused and happy. I want to be able to easily manage my job, my school work, and myself.  I also want to stay healthy and be financially stable. That way, money does not have to worry me while I need to do my school work. For next semester I want to keep up my good work. I want to get good grades and have a good social life. Over the summer, I am planning to work and do an internship.

Getting InThe Christmas Spirit

For this weeks campus safari I went to a Christmas event at the student center on Wednesday. My friend Cait had told me earlier in the day and I definitely wanted to go. Cait and I ended up going after Spanish class at around three pm.

                When we got there I could not believe all the thing to do and the best part was that everything was free. We were first offered loads of candy and delicious hot chocolate. Then we made these candle like things. It’s a glass vase that you fill with all kinds of colored sand, shells, and Christmas decorations. Then, you fill the rest of the vase with a hot gel that has to fry. After that, you pour a little bit of scent oil. Then you have a nice décor that smells nice like a candle. I made one with pink, yellow, and purple sand. It had a little polar bear in it.

                While Cait and I were waiting we even got our picture taken with Santa. We both got a copy of the picture with frames. We were so excited. After this, I realized how much southern does for its’ students. Also, I was happy because the event put me in the Christmas spirit.

They Call Them The T/R Crew

                When kids in the same classes become friends, they know that they can relate. When I found out that I was going to be with the same group of kids every Tuesday and Thursday, I was pretty excited. I knew I could have friends that I could relate to and friends to hit up if I needed an assignment that I missed.

                I have had some awesome times with my T/R classmates. We have all been able complain about home work and joke about our professors. I love everyone in Anthropology and Creative Inquiry, every one is different. I feel like I have a huge family and that they are all supportive. (And we are all supportive of each other) Out of all my classes, my T/R classmates I know the best because they are awesome and I spend the most time with them. I will always remember the times we complained about Anthropology and made deals to help each other for our video projects.

                I know that I can come of as a little talkative, but I just like to have my input in everything. Hopefully, that characteristic does not make people dislike me. I just hope my class mates think I am comical, not opinionated.

                Of every one in my classes on Tuesday and Thursday, I will always have my go to people. If I missed class and needed notes and assignments, I would go to Tina because she is nice and is always organized. If I needed advice for my life outside of the class room, I would go to Tori because she is funny and always knows what is right. Also, I can’t forget Casey because her and I are pretty good friends and we hang out outside of class. Her and I can relate on everything from family to friends.

                Overall I am going to miss my T/R crew.
