This<\/span> semester,<\/span> I’m<\/span> doing<\/span> extremely<\/span> well<\/span> in<\/span> my<\/span> STEM<\/span> class,<\/span> which<\/span> I<\/span> feel<\/span> is<\/span> due<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> fact<\/span>
that<\/span> I<\/span> enjoy<\/span> the<\/span> on-hand<\/span> lab<\/span> that<\/span> we<\/span> conduct,<\/span> as<\/span> well<\/span> as<\/span> my<\/span> teacher.<\/span> My<\/span> professor<\/span> fully<\/span>
demonstrates<\/span> the<\/span> topic<\/span> and<\/span> the<\/span> powerpoint<\/span> he<\/span> provides.<\/span> I<\/span> can<\/span> tell<\/span> he<\/span> understands<\/span> what<\/span> he’s<\/span>
talking<\/span> about<\/span> and<\/span> enjoys<\/span> what<\/span> he’s<\/span> doing<\/span> at<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> time.I<\/span> still<\/span> need<\/span> help<\/span> in<\/span> my<\/span> chemistry<\/span> class,<\/span>
but<\/span> I<\/span> feel<\/span> I’m<\/span> doing<\/span> much<\/span> better<\/span> than<\/span> I<\/span> was<\/span> at<\/span> the<\/span> beginning<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> semester<\/span> since<\/span> I<\/span> adjusted<\/span> my<\/span>
study<\/span> habits<\/span> and<\/span> made<\/span> friends<\/span> in<\/span> that<\/span> class,<\/span> allowing<\/span> me<\/span> to<\/span> form<\/span> a<\/span> study<\/span> group<\/span> with<\/span> them.<\/span> I<\/span>
began<\/span> studying<\/span> every<\/span> day,<\/span> or<\/span> at<\/span> least<\/span> when<\/span> I<\/span> had<\/span> chemistry,<\/span> I<\/span> would<\/span> rewrite<\/span> my<\/span> notes<\/span> and<\/span> go<\/span> over<\/span>
them<\/span> the<\/span> same<\/span> day,<\/span> as<\/span> well<\/span> as<\/span> read<\/span> my<\/span> professor’s<\/span> notes<\/span> in<\/span> advance<\/span> so<\/span> that<\/span> I<\/span> had<\/span> a<\/span> better<\/span>
understanding of the topics she would talk about.<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span> expected<\/span> college<\/span> to<\/span> be<\/span> challenging,<\/span> stressful,<\/span> and<\/span> time<\/span> consuming,<\/span> and<\/span> it<\/span> has<\/span> proven<\/span> to<\/span>
be<\/span> such.<\/span> I<\/span> had<\/span> over<\/span> 6<\/span> exams<\/span> and<\/span> midterms<\/span> within<\/span> the<\/span> past<\/span> two<\/span> months,<\/span> so<\/span> it<\/span> was<\/span> very<\/span> stressful<\/span>
and<\/span> time<\/span> consuming.<\/span> I<\/span> consider<\/span> myself<\/span> to<\/span> have<\/span> excellent<\/span> time<\/span> management<\/span> abilities,<\/span> yet<\/span> I<\/span> still<\/span>
felt<\/span> as<\/span> if<\/span> I<\/span> didn’t<\/span> have<\/span> enough<\/span> time<\/span> to<\/span> juggle<\/span> friends<\/span> and<\/span> take<\/span> care<\/span> of<\/span> my<\/span> mental<\/span> health.<\/span> I<\/span> was<\/span>
expecting<\/span> that<\/span> my<\/span> expectations<\/span> for<\/span> college<\/span> parties<\/span> would<\/span> be<\/span> met,<\/span> but<\/span> they<\/span> have<\/span> not<\/span> been<\/span> as<\/span>
thrilling<\/span> as<\/span> I<\/span> had<\/span> hoped.<\/span> I<\/span> prefer<\/span> watching<\/span> frightening<\/span> movies<\/span> in<\/span> my<\/span> dorm<\/span> with<\/span> my<\/span> girlfriends<\/span>
while<\/span> criticizing<\/span> how<\/span> easily<\/span> people<\/span> die<\/span> in<\/span> them<\/span> over<\/span> going<\/span> out<\/span> and<\/span> partying.<\/span> I’m<\/span> grateful<\/span> I<\/span>
established<\/span> a<\/span> small<\/span> circle<\/span> of<\/span> friends<\/span> that<\/span> remind<\/span> me<\/span> of<\/span> my<\/span> family<\/span> because<\/span> my<\/span> first<\/span> week<\/span> here<\/span>
without<\/span> my<\/span> sister<\/span> and<\/span> besties<\/span> was<\/span> quite<\/span> lonely.<\/span> This<\/span> was<\/span> a<\/span> difficult<\/span> issue<\/span> for<\/span> me<\/span> since<\/span> I<\/span> didn’t<\/span>
immediately find my group of friends; it took a few weeks for me to find my college sisters<\/span><\/p>\n

As<\/span> a<\/span> dental<\/span> major,<\/span> I<\/span> had<\/span> no<\/span> idea<\/span> that<\/span> in<\/span> order<\/span> to<\/span> even<\/span> be<\/span> considered<\/span> for<\/span> admission<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span>
dental<\/span> program,<\/span> I<\/span> needed<\/span> to<\/span> maintain<\/span> credentials,<\/span> experience<\/span> and<\/span> volunteer<\/span> hours.<\/span> I’m<\/span> a<\/span> little<\/span>
more<\/span> apprehensive<\/span> and<\/span> concerned<\/span> about<\/span> my<\/span> major<\/span> because<\/span> what<\/span> if<\/span> I<\/span> don’t<\/span> make<\/span> it<\/span> and<\/span> all<\/span> my<\/span>
work<\/span> and<\/span> effort<\/span> as<\/span> well<\/span> as<\/span> my<\/span> parents’<\/span> sacrifices<\/span> would<\/span> go<\/span> to<\/span> waste.<\/span> If<\/span> I<\/span> don’t<\/span> get<\/span> into<\/span> the<\/span>
dentistry<\/span> school,<\/span> I<\/span> really<\/span> enjoy<\/span> my<\/span> stem<\/span> classes<\/span> and<\/span> wouldn’t<\/span> mind<\/span> switching<\/span> to<\/span> engineering<\/span> as<\/span> a<\/span>
major.<\/span> I’ve<\/span> always<\/span> wanted<\/span> to<\/span> be<\/span> a<\/span> dentist,<\/span> so<\/span> I’ll<\/span> do<\/span> my<\/span> best<\/span> to<\/span> get<\/span> into<\/span> the<\/span> program,<\/span> but<\/span> I’ve<\/span> also<\/span>
prepared a backup plan in case things don’t go as planned.<\/span>As<\/span> I<\/span> previously<\/span> stated,<\/span> I’ve<\/span> been<\/span> suffering<\/span> with<\/span> my<\/span> chemistry<\/span> class;<\/span> I<\/span> use<\/span> the<\/span> odu\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0tutoring-program\u00a0to<\/span> receive<\/span> some<\/span> extra<\/span> assistance,<\/span> and<\/span> it<\/span> truly<\/span> helped.\u00a0<\/span>The<\/span> tutor<\/span> was<\/span> able<\/span> to<\/span> assist<\/span> and\u00a0<\/span>explain<\/span> the<\/span> situation<\/span> in<\/span> a<\/span> way<\/span> that<\/span> I<\/span> could<\/span> comprehend.<\/span> I<\/span> also<\/span> met<\/span> some<\/span> friends<\/span> in<\/span> my<\/span> chemistry\u00a0<\/span>class<\/span> who<\/span> were<\/span> having<\/span> similar<\/span> challenges<\/span> to<\/span> me,<\/span> and<\/span> we<\/span> created<\/span> a<\/span> little<\/span> study<\/span> group<\/span> to<\/span> assist<\/span> one\u00a0<\/span>another.<\/span> We<\/span> all<\/span> agreed<\/span> on<\/span> a<\/span> time<\/span> to<\/span> meet,<\/span> and<\/span> the<\/span> fact<\/span> that<\/span> we<\/span> all<\/span> lived<\/span> at<\/span> Owens<\/span> helped<\/span> too.<\/span> I\u00a0<\/span>haven’t<\/span> participated<\/span> in<\/span> any<\/span> clubs<\/span> yet<\/span> since<\/span> I<\/span> wanted<\/span> to<\/span> focus<\/span> on<\/span> my<\/span> schoolwork<\/span> this<\/span> semester,<\/span> but\u00a0<\/span>I’m<\/span> looking<\/span> forward<\/span> to<\/span> joining<\/span> one<\/span> next<\/span> semester<\/span> because<\/span> I<\/span> won’t<\/span> be<\/span> taking<\/span> as<\/span> many\u00a0<\/span>classes<\/span> and\u00a0<\/span>will be able to better manage my time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span> semester,<\/span> I’ve<\/span> learned<\/span> about<\/span> many<\/span> different<\/span> sustainability<\/span> strategies,<\/span> but<\/span> one<\/span> that<\/span>
jumped<\/span> out<\/span> to<\/span> me<\/span> was<\/span> wastewater<\/span> treatment<\/span> to<\/span> minimize<\/span> garbage<\/span> in<\/span> our<\/span> oceans.<\/span> I<\/span> started<\/span> going<\/span>
water<\/span> smart,<\/span> which<\/span> simply<\/span> means<\/span> I<\/span> attempt<\/span> to<\/span> limit<\/span> the<\/span> quantity<\/span> of<\/span> bottled<\/span> water<\/span> I<\/span> consume<\/span> and<\/span>
instead<\/span> drink<\/span> from<\/span> a<\/span> reusable<\/span> water<\/span> bottle<\/span> or<\/span> a<\/span> more<\/span> sustainable<\/span> container.<\/span> I’d<\/span> like<\/span> to<\/span> learn<\/span> more<\/span>
about<\/span> the<\/span> reduce,<\/span> reuse,<\/span> and<\/span> recycle<\/span> movement.<\/span> I<\/span> feel<\/span> like<\/span> I<\/span> don’t<\/span> know<\/span> enough<\/span> about<\/span> the<\/span>
environmental footprints that the items and materials I consume have on the environment<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This semester, I’m doing extremely well in my STEM class, which I feel is due to the factthat I enjoy the on-hand lab that we conduct, as well as my teacher. My professor fullydemonstrates the topic and the powerpoint he provides. I can tell he understands what he’stalking about and enjoys what he’s doing at… <\/p>\n
