As a sophomore in college, I can honestly say that freshman year feels like it was over a few months ago because well it was. Going into my sophomore year, I had learned from my freshmen mistakes that I wish I could go back and fix so maybe I wouldn't have to work so hard this year! Talking to the freshmen on the team they have yet to embrace the real struggle of what is yet to come for them. Although they have made it through midterms, finals are fast approaching and they will either be ready or not. Most have done an amazing job of keeping on top of their classes while others are well like me and struggling slightly. Mom, Dad, don't worry my grades are WAY better than last year! I promise.
If I could go back to this time last year, I would surround myself with those who push each other to do better in the classroom. I wish that I would have realized that having others to hold me accountable and push me to work harder in classes was better than just friends. Thankfully this year I have many that are just that. They push me to do better both inside and out of classes.
Maybe one day, I will stop procrastinating and get homework done before the night it is due. I will hopefully have time to actually have time to relax and be in my room to finish unpacking. Maybe one day I will be able to do life better.
