Pre-Semester Reflection

During the first semester of college I am most excited to start a new journey in my life as well as have some alone time.I believe my biggest challenge this semester will be time management having to study as well as do homework also trying to hang with friends will be difficult . This semester I plan on joining the African Student Association as of right now that’s the only organization I’m interested in.I believe I’ll spend 3 hours a week in this organization.In order for me to balance all of this I plan to have a schedule and follow it in order to make ends meet. In High school I participated in the African student association , I was the women’s lacrosse manager , key club , HOSA.I’m not too sure about the other clubs that we have here but my plan is to meet other people that have similar interests or cultural backgrounds as me and become one as a group.

The Major I am pursuing is Nursing. The reason I decided to choose this major is because I am a people person and love to help others. And if I could do that for a living I would love that. I believe working in the health field is overall a great place for growth.I believe I have great communication skills as well as I love to help people in any way.I took a nursing class in High school that made me really love it.5 years from now I plan to have graduated hopefully working in a hospital . In about 10 years I plan to have gotten my masters and hopefully I’m a traveling nurse .

There is definitely a difference between studying and home working. When it comes to studying you’re taking your time to review notes and look over your notes that you took in class , as for homework it’s something you have to complete whether you studied or not . 

                        1 . Chemistry 105 -30 minutes 

2. Sociology -25 minutes 

3. English comp – 25 minutes 

4. Chemistry Laboratory – 30 minutes 

5. Health professions -25 minutes 

This semester I plan to study in the library. I believe friends , party’s phone will be a potential distraction . I can avoid these distractions by setting time for myself to accomplish these assignments / studying .The best time for me to study would be right after class so early in the afternoon because all the information is still fresh in my mind .The best study techniques that work for me would have to be flash cards.
