At the end of my graduation right before I got my diploma, it came to me that that in the fall I would start my first semester in college. To me, I didn't think it would be bit of a problem as I was receiving good grades and was an honor student. College is a whole other level compared to college. Plus my first semester is not a breeze whatsoever.
With having my first online class, I didn't know that two tests were due and received two zeros. Even though if I were to pass the following assignments, I would still fail. Onto my next blunder, I was kicked out of my english class because I hadn't had 101 even though they allowed me to be in 102.
After having a mental breakdown from dropping out of my online class and being kicked out of my english class, I took a Clep Exam and passed so all of my worries went away, well not all of them but a few of them were gone.
Balancing work and school is so complicated because on the days I'm not in class I'm working. I always felt stressed out because school should be a number one priority.
A way to relieve my stress was joining a sorority. I went to recruitment for Sigma Sigma Sigma and met a ton of sweet, loving girls who are there for me, help me when I need to study, and support me in my endeavors. I have come close to a lot of girls who bring out the best in me, give me advice, and lighten up my mood when I'm upset.
A piece of advice I could give for your first semester in college is though you feel like you have lost all hope, you no longer have anymore motivation, just realize that you'll be happy once you make lifelong friends and complete your degree.
