Reflect back on this semester.
*Have you met anyone new who is important to you? Have you rekindled any old friendships that have made you stronger?
~I met my roommate, and my friends Katie Ashley and Meg. They are easily my best friends up here. I hang out with them all the time and they are my support system. I made friendships with my best guy friends Matt, Nick, and Jordon from back home. I never realized how important they were to me until i never saw them anymore. I talk to them so much more this year than we ever used to and i am grateful for it, since they all mean so much to me. My guy friends and my best friends from up here, help me get through difficult times and are always really supportive of me and help me any way they possibly can. Making me stronger.
*Have you experienced any major changes academically or personally?
~I have personally become more focused and goal oriented. I have started working so much harder for things i want. I used to be so much lazier than i am now. I have also beaten my procrastination. I don't put of things for the last minute anymore. i was finally able to be my procrastination! Academically i have become a much better write. My papers in English have greatly improved! I am better at writing and making my topic organized and focused, and coming up with a complete and final paper that i am proud of. Academically i have also been very proud of myself for taking 18 credits, and doing fairly well grade wise even with so many credit hours. I was afraid before starting it of if i would be able to handle it, i have shown myself i can as long as i work hard.
*What is your one BEST or FAVORITE memory of this semester?
My favorite memory of this semester is when i hiked sugar loaf mountain with my roommate and her mom. For me it was just so beautiful up there that i came back down feeling like an entirely new person. I felt refreshed and revitalized and able and ready to handle anything life throws my way. It was a great feeling.
*How will you live your life to the fullest?
~I will live my life to the fullest by not regretting anything from my past. Its in the past i need to accept i can't change it and just move on, being anxious for the future. I am going to work hard the rest of my life, and not allow myself to get lazy and take the easy route through life, but the route that will challenge me to do the best i possibly can. I am also going to live life one day at a time and not focus on things i can't control.
