I have been a college student for five weeks and it has been the best five weeks of my life. I was so surprised to meet all the new amazing students from different places around Florida and the world, which I am interested in. Over the past five weeks I've had the tendency to get stressed over every assignment and paper that I was assigned to do. I am so easily affected by stress which is probably why I have two ulcers at such a young age. I've had the added responsibilities of doing my own laundry, buying and cooking my own food, cleaning my own apartment, and not having any parents telling me what to do, so I’d have to push myself to do everything on my own. I learned to appreciate my parents and all that they do for me because I now see that the real world is very challenging and stressful, and college is only the beginning. I never use to study in high school, so coming to college and having to study constantly was very new to me. I had to learn time management and that you will not get good grades by just listening in class.
Over the summer I had to ramp up the intensity of my work and work as hard as I could because the last thing I want to do is come to fall with a bad GPA and start off poorly. I have learned that I need to sit back, relax, and breathe deeply before starting an assignment because you can never start an assignment with a negative attitude and expect to do your best. In high school I would always put things to the side and worry about them last minute but coming to college has taught me that I need to stay on top of assignments because you never want to get behind and end up having to do your assignment last minute and not give your best effort, resulting in a bad grade. College has taught me that I need to be more independent and work my hardest at any little obstacle thrown my way.
I LOVE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY!
