Hello Everyone, Chris the Graduate here! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! After a long period of college and work, I finally got a break. However, now I am going on to my second semester, and I have a better understanding of the college system and how to build a great schedule so that I can succeed. I am excited about the new semester and I am looking forward to taking on new challenges. I am confident that I can reach my goals this time. Looking back at the beginning of my first semester, let’s compare and contrast what I have done over the semester and my goals for this semester. 

My first semester has come to an end, and to be honest, it was very difficult. There’s so much freedom yet so many responsibilities all at once. It’s definitely a change from high school. During my first semester, I had a few hiccups at the beginning, but I recovered throughout the semester to pass. Although my schedule was everywhere and assignments kept coming, I eventually learned how to adapt and become better at managing. Having just started my second semester, I think this will be a good start. It will be easier to be successful if you can schedule and work on a good schedule. 

Scheduling, due dates, and getting to class on time were not enjoyable in my first semester. Now I hope to use my second semester to make a comeback and become a better student. Having said all this does not mean I had bad grades or did not accomplish anything. There were times when I felt unmotivated, unfocused, and lazy, but this will change in the upcoming semester. Having an idea of what to expect makes me feel more prepared and ready for the future.

In general, I plan to be a better student. College was definitely an experiment this year, and I really got a taste of it. However, I am not finished yet. Since this is my first year, I still have a lot to learn. It is always possible for me to be a better student and learn from my mistakes. I plan to set higher academic goals and work hard to reach them. I will also make sure to take the time to review my work and learn from my mistakes. Finally, I will make sure to stay organized and stay on top of my studies. All in all, I am confident I can achieve more and better success in my future years as a college student.
