What It's Like to Retake A Class

And Succeed The Second Go Round

What It's Like to Retake A Class

You put your heart and soul into a class but maybe a little too late and this equals failing said class. According to the University it is passing, BUT when further looked into it isn't considered acceptable for your major. For a class that you already struggled with, effort isn't there anymore. You stop caring what grades you get in said class and you understand there isn't anything to do to help. While this is disheartening at least you can focus more on other classes. That was round one!

You accept your fate and you failed the class

While you never wish to see this forsaken class again, it is required for your major, (even though you'll never use this info in your life again), you must retake it, tears!

Round two: You go into the class with high expectations that this time around you'll get an A, you'll do extra questions, you'll reread all the notes from the class after each class even when it is an everyday class, you'll get a tutor, make sure you'll go to office hours and with high hopes wish to get it over with. Well in a perfect world, you'll do all those things but that isn't always how it pans out; other classes take up more time, work schedule, family time and friends plus just not wanting to put that much work into a class.

You end up going to ever class but two, you never work extra questions but you do try paying even more attention, more than you wish to and you end up with a B, not the A you initially worked for but at least this time you succeeded!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
