Last semester, I had many interesting experiences adjusting to college life. There were many peaks, such as meeting and connecting with new people from all around the world, and having the freedom to make my own decisions. However, with making my own decisions came some valleys, such as figuring out time management with architecture and clubs and even getting more than six hours of sleep. I’d say my highest point was befriending the guys down the hall, as they continue to be good friends of mine and very entertaining people to hang out with. A low point was definitely having to stay at Knowlton until 2am and walking myself all the way back to Baker in a lethargic haze. Shortcomings I really want to work on are my study skills, which were pretty much non-existent last semester, and my sleeping habits, as I tend to prioritize social interaction before my health. Unexpected successes I had include my studio architecture projects, which turned out to be some of the best in my class, as well as my quick ability to make friends, an ability I had originally feared I lacked. Overall, this semester will definitely have to try hard to beat the satisfaction last semester has given me.
