Self assesment

As a freshman at Southern Connecticut State University I have learned so much about myself as a person. I grew up out of that depending on mommy and daddy stage. Not only am I more independent at home with money I am more independent in my studies. I have learned that college is not like high school. You cannot slide by you have to do all your work and show up to class because the smallest thing might hurt you the most. It is crazy because I knew that yes doing my work was important but I prioritized things in school other then putting the same effort into each and ever one of my subjects. Honestly my challenge of the year was time management. My time management was horrible! In the beginning of the year I was playing softball for the women’s team at school however that was not working out with me. I grew as a person and realized that playing wasn’t for me anymore. It took up to much time that did not have any benefits for me other then that I loved to play. But just like many others in life they have to give up things they love to make a better living for themselves. Yes I might kick myself in the behind later in life but right now it felt like the right choice to make. Not only was it a big time consumer for me but it put so much stress on me and my grades were dropping due to this so I decided to put school first which I should have done in the first place. For me leaving the sport I loved so much hurt a lot but has honestly changed my life. I got my first job and I am saving up money to get a apartment by the winter of next year. With getting a job and not playing softball I had a lot more time for school work. However all my time went into my two main courses because I didn’t think the other classes were really going to do anything for me. But what I didn’t realize was that doing that would potentially make me have to repeat a course which I really did not enjoy in the first place. Most of my classes have been very good in my learning process however there is one that really did not do anything for me. That only class is the one I think I am going to fail because it did not grab my attention it really did not grasp me like my other classes. I think I should have put more time into that class though because of that I think my goals for this year will not be met for this semester. However  the thing that really was messing me up this semester was my time management that really did killed me. I plan next semester to do big project and all homework at least two or more days before they are due. I do not want the fact of me working kill everything I have worked so hard to do in my past years of schooling. I really hope that next semester is very different that I put a equal amount of time in all my subjects. This first semester was very rocking for me from me moving out of dorming to then stopping softball to getting a job there was many changes for me this year. I have not only learned academically but I have learned so much that is so essential in life. So I must say the first semester of college was VERY REAL!

Life after college!

My life after College would be ideal if right out of college I would have an amazing job and apartment in my name. This job would have to pay enough to pay the bills, rent, and have extra money to spend for myself. Everyone would love to be able to live stress free right out of college. However everyone knows that that is not the deal once out. A person out of college usually does not have a great job that they love nor do they live on there own. Many students live back with their parents once out of college. If life was ideal I would have a job working in the field I graduated from, no student loans, and living on my own. That right there is ideal to anyone I think coming straight out of college. Many people don't see that you will probably not get a job dealing in the field that you graduated in until a few years later. Another thing after college that I would love would be a car of my own being able to pay for that instead of my parents. Being able to travel where ever I want would be amazing as well! In this being said for me an ideal life after college would be being able to be independent.
