Study Habits: This semester I am taking Introductory Chemistry, Chemistry lab, Interpreting the American Past,Introductory English, Introduction into Health Professions, and Sociology. I am doing very well inEnglish and my chemistry classes, I am studying harder and working harder to get the grades Iwant. Classes I need help in are definitely history, I had a good grade in the class then I waswrongly marked and the professor has yet to fix it even after reaching out to her. I think I need toreach out to someone a bit higher than my professor just to get this fixed. I do not need help inany other classes, I have brought up all my other grades with mass amounts of studying andtrying new studying techniques. Changes I have made are my studying techniques. I now makeflash cards for all my classes to help me study and this has been extremely beneficial to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transition to College: Expectations: I had expectations about college. It would be easy, as long as you were doing the work you would pass the class and it would be a party everyday. These were not factual at all, it isa lot of work and most definitely not a party everyday. I love everything about college however ithas been a confusing transition. I assumed everyone would act as if they were adults but otherpeers here act as if they are still in high school and it is a difficult adjustment. Something that hassurprised me so far is how much money I am spending here. The hardest challenge commuting isdefinitely time management, it\u2019s hard to balance friends, classes, and driving here. I am alsospending a lot on gas due to the climbing gas prices. I personally enjoy commuting because I cango where I want and do not have to worry about walking there whereas my friends have to plan everything so far in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Major: Something about my intended major I did not know before I started was how selective the nursingprogram was. I knew it was hard to get in but I did not know that only about 20 people would getin. My feelings have changed about my intended major, I\u2019d like to focus more specifically onphysical therapy or sports medicine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connecting to campus: One issue that has occured this semester was me not getting a good grade on my first chemistryexam. I utilized the science tutoring and that helped me feel better about my most recent exam. Ihave a good friend that has been helping me and I have been helping her too. I have not gone toan interest meeting for a club due to the fact I have not found a club that really interests me. I amworking hard to find one that works with my schedule and with my major.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
