Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Let me tell you, this semester I gained more than school knowledge. I learned much more about myself than I thought I ever would.

Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Last semester, I dropped one class and got a C in another. That stopped me from getting into the nutrition program that I sought after. I pledged that this semester I would work harder than ever before to get into that program. The class I retook was rough at first because I would often get flashbacks of what the class used to be for me aka Satan's Den. But once I got the hang of things, going to SI, Aplus, and class day after day, I didn't give up. I'm hoping that my hard work pays off for that class.

The class I retook, I just realized that the professor made the class more difficult than it initially should be. I worked as hard if not twice as hard to get the grade I desired. The matter of the fact was it was a mentality thing as well. I was not in a good place, to begin with, last semester. I was very worried at the beginning of the semester that having a boyfriend would hinder me from my studies. But I soon realized that he's one of my biggest fans. He studies with me every single day so that I'm able to continue growing. In a way, we water each other's garden so that we're able to prosper and grow. If it weren't for him and a select few, I wouldn't have been able to make it through this semester.

As the semester came to an end, I still struggled to study but it was a bit easier than the year before. I only hope that when the grades come out, I did better than the semester before because I only want to grow. I'm looking forward to the next semester and hoping that it will only be better than before.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
