My experience of two fall semesters

My experience here at Florida Southern thus far has been pretty incredible. Coming into college I was afraid of being an independent and doing things on my own, but it was a blessing in disguise in all honesty. Now that I look back at my freshman year, the one thing that was different than today however was my effort put forth during the fall semester.

My freshman year coming in I really didn’t have a routine or priorities because all my life there was a specific routine I lived by while I was at home. I really didn't know any time management skills and I didn't know any basic things. It got to the point where my grades really suffered due to the lack of care I had at the time about my grades. Due to the lack of time management I had my grades went really down and I had work really hard in the Spring to get it back up. That is all different this time around.

This fall semester starting out I knew I had to work hard to maintain my 3.2 GPA that I got up last Spring. I was able to pick up my first internship and so far my grades are better then what they were during the midterm grades last fall. I knew that this coming fall was going to be difficult because I picked up some classes that are notorious for being pretty rigorous such as Accounting and Nutrition. However, thus far I have found these classes to be very interesting and fascinating in their own aspects being my passion for nutrition and I need accounting to one day hopefully own my own business.

This fall semester for me has been a blessing in disguise I have been able to work hard and really feel what it is like to maintain something very good. If this is what my two fall semesters have been like thus far I cant wait to see what next Spring holds.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
