Semester Reflection

I adapted very well to college life. Every year in school I always found the end of summer break to be so sad. Going back to school was just about the worst thing in the world. That held true up till this year. I was pretty much ready to move on campus the minute I knew I was actually living on campus. That is not to say I did not want a summer break. But it is a testament to how excited I was. The end of last summer break was exciting. It was like Christmas Eve. That’s how excited I was. College turned out to be everything I had hoped for and more. I made some friends, did well enough in my clases, and I was sad to leave when I left. It’s amazing the amount of hate Morrill Tower gets. Granted, I  don’t know any better because I’ve only ever lived there, and were living at half capacity, but still. I didn’t hear too many positives from people when I told them that’s where I was living. I would not rather live anywhere else, and I mean that with my entire chest. The suite setup is sooo nice. There is always someone to talk to all the time. And you don’t feel like having to make plans to hang out; you just simply step out of your room and you’re hanging out. I’ve never, not once, said “hey you wanna chill in the common room tomorrow afternoon”? Yet I probably chilled in the common room every afternoon  with someone. Ok this one might be unpopular but I don’t care. I could eat Scotts Traditions every day for the rest of my life. It’s so good, or at least I think it is. I struggled with calc. Part of this was adapting to how college classes work. The other part is that calculus is exhausting. But I got through it and I am not looking back. Next semester I’m in calc 2. We will see how that goes. I guess my plan is to just take what I learned this semester and apply it to the whole semester (took me a good half semester to learn how to college). What have I achieved? Well i guess not much, but i made it out of physics 1250 alive, and for me that’s an achievement in itself. I am taking gen chem next semester. I’m pretty scared, not gonna lie. I took AP chem in high school and I did okay so I am hoping that extra bit of a head start will prove to be helpful. I also know more of how to study effectively now. All those things combined with the fact that most of the floor took it this semester, will hopefully get me through it. I’ll have help if i need it. So my goal for next semester is to get a solid B in chem. I know that’s ambitious, and frankly it might not age well, but I’m gonna do my best and see what happens.
