I tried out the new studying method that was recommended and that I thought helped me last semester, and it worked for all but one class—Chemistry 1220 (General Chemistry 2). Luckily I barely passed the class, and will not have to take it again. I hope to have much better results in Organic Chemistry 1 in the Autumn 2019 semester and show that I know the material—I just don’t understand how to properly and correctly apply it to the questions on the General Chemistry exams.

Other than general chemistry 2, all of my other courses went well and the overall semester was rather enjoyable as I slowly got used to college life. I focused a little more on my courses, homework, and studying, and stopped signing up and making sure that I went to every single meeting for my clubs/associations so I had more time to study and get things done.

I went to wellness coaching a few more times this semester before deciding to stop uselessly going every week when I should actually fix and complete the previous week’s goal first. I also went to nutrition coaching once this semester to tell the coach about the problems I had when trying to complete the goal from the previous semester and we tried to find new solutions. I tried going on a single shopping trip and spending all of my swipes at once and then prepping and eating the meals as I went the rest of the week (carrying the food with me everywhere I went) and it worked for some time before I got tired of the food I ate every single week (the same food) and the plan fell apart again.

Once the semester ended (finished with all of my finals), I am heading to Jeju Island, South Korea for one month, then to Peru for one week.
