This semester so far I have been doing well in English. I think I am doing well in this class because I ask my professor lots of questions and send her all my essays for feedback before I turn them in. on the other hand this semester I have struggled with chemistry the most. To do better in this class I have gone to my teacher’s office hours for extra help before exams. I have spent a lot more time studying before exams and I even have gone to the library more to study instead of studying in my room. I expected to make more friends and go out more. No, since I have come to college the exact opposite has happened. I expected to go out more and make new friends but since I have been here I spend a lot more time in my room and in bed. It surprises me a lot that I don’t go out because everyone thinks expects a lot when they go away. It surprises me that I haven’t made friends but not as much. I expected it because you’re supposed to make new friends in college but I am quiet and have always had trouble making friends so it kind of makes sense that nothing has changed. I live in Owens and I love the building. The biggest challenge for me has been sharing a room for the first time and missing my friends and family. The easiest thing I have overcome is being more responsible without my mom telling me what to do. At the beginning of the semester, I learned that when applying to nursing school they don’t look at all your classes. They just look at specific classes. My feelings have changed since the beginning of the semester. I still want to be a nurse but when Ashley was showing us her work in nursing school it definitely scared me. Also, the fact that so few students get accepted into the program every year makes me very nervous. I have thought about sociology because I love the class semester and I really like the professor. When I need extra help I think having tutors for specific subjects is very helpful for everyone. No, no one has really helped me that much this semester. No, I haven’t attended any interest meetings but I think I will in the future.
