We Are Half Way There!

Hi everyone! I hope you
all had a great week and will have a great weekend. We, as freshmen, should all
be very proud of ourselves because we made it through the first half of our
first semester as USF college students! I don’t know about you all, but I have
experienced more in my first semester than I have in my four years of high
school. I have met some great people and made some long lasting friends.
Unfortunately, I have felt myself slacking just a little bit. So I decided to
write my entry on how to keep the school spark alive.
Surviving the first
half of the semester is a big accomplishment. I feel that I have grown since
the beginning of the year. So far, my grades are pretty high and I just
finished taking midterms for some of my classes, including the dreaded
chemistry. I haven’t seen my grade yet, but I definitely hope that three days
of studying will pay off. I have definitely learned to manage my time over this
first half of the semester, but I feel that it is getting more difficult. As the
semester goes on, more work is being given and campus life gets even bigger. How
do you balance it all out? Well everyone, my biggest advice is to not forget
why you are in college in the first place. Getting your education is the most
important part of your college experience. Yes, the semester is half over, but don’t
slack! There is still plenty of school left and you don’t want to mess up your
GPA. Keep doing all of the things that are balancing school and social life. Exercise,
eat right, and stay ahead of the game because the more you get used to doing
these tasks, the easier the semester will be!
So keep up the good
work guys. We are half way there! The semester will be over sooner than you
think and then you can finally say that you survived your first semester as a
college freshman. Good luck to all of you and I hope you live the college life
to its fullest. GO BULLS!

  1. I can’t believe that the semester is half way over already, I feel like it’s going by really fast! I still need to work on my time management because things are only going to get busier! I am doing well in my classes; I just need to stop procrastinating on some stuff because I have to do it eventually anyways. I definitely need to stay on task this week because I have 3 exams!

  2. This is great! I definitely could have used some encouragement and you nailed it head on. Occasionally I feel a little overwhelmed with the workload that seems to continuously grow. But I am happy to see that we are half way there..and I am looking forward to winter break. :)
