As my first semester of college winds down I have begun to reflect on how it has affected me as an individual as well as how I have affected others. I have learned so much from my professors and piers about both textbook knowledge as well as knowledge about people and the world we live in. This first semester allowed me to explore my interests through volunteering and clubs, which have in turn provided me with new friendships and opportunities. In addition to the situations and experiences that went great, there were also definitely ones that went less than great. I learned from the mistakes I made and plan for an even better semester 2.
