Second Semester First Week Reflection
http://blog.tmar.com/?p=518

For many college students, this is the start of their second semester. Come the first week of college, there will also come another thing that we must keep up with until the end of the semester: the syllabus.

The syllabus is something that can either help or hurt us in the long run when it comes to assignments, quizzes or tests. They are like the schedule and they tell us when assignments are due or when quizzes are coming our way. The only good thing about the first week of any semester is that the professors don't start you off with a lot of work, but there are some professors that may sign some type of work for you to do; but not enough that it could already start you stressing out about the class. It basically should be a part of your life and should be checked daily just in case you don't write anything in your planner.

So far with me, all of my professors gave me a very good first impression, so that's one thing I can knock off my list for my evaluation of should I stay in this class or not. Another good thing about this semester is my schedule, even though I don't have breaks in between classes anymore. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays my day lasts from 9 am to 11:50 am while Tuesdays and Thursdays my day is from 9a m to 11:45 am. While having all that time to myself to do whatever I want is a good thing, it can also be a bad thing for me as well.

Every college student can admit this, procrastination is real and it will affect all of us at different times and different places. For some, it's something that they had for a long time and they are working on getting rid of or decreasing it. While for others, it's something very new to them because they are not used to all of this free time because they were probably occupied a lot in high school with homework, clubs, a possible job and activities. I'm a mixture of both. While I didn't have a lot of time in high school to procrastinate because I had a 9 hour school day plus an extra 2 hours of extra curricular activities, having free time everyday to do anything is still kind of new to me. Even though many people had said that if you can manage your time better, you can decrease the amount of time you procrastinate on things, but time management just doesn't work for everyone. Give it time and it will. For me, it's going to take some time, but I have improved from first semester.

If I had a goal for this semester, I would say my goal is to get a GPA that's higher than a 3.0 and maybe manage more of my writing time so I can have time to write than to hold off homework for a few minutes to jot down some ideas. Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good start to their second semester!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
