     My first semester in college was a handful but I got the hang of it. There were some topics that made me realize how important it is to know if you are taking the right classes. Thanks to EDUC 1300 I would have never known that I have to complete 42 hours of core classes. Without EDUC 1300 I would have never completed my 2 year college plan. A person like me loves to get ahead of everyone else. I also loved to be organized. Me setting up my 2 year plan with an advisor helped me get one step closer to my goal. 

     Reflecting from this semester, I believe I did good for my first semester of college. Yes, taking 5 classes was and still is a challenge but it helps me improve my time-managment and organization skills. What made my first semester of college tough was the amount of homework I had to complete and the amount of reading I had to read. Dealing with all the assignments and gettting a job, made it even harder to spend time with friends, family and keeping a healthy diet (including exercise).

     Overall, I'm excited for what lies ahead. I'm excited for the new friends I'll make and I'm excited for the sleepless nights I will encounter. Who needs sleep when you want to be successful. Am I right?
