five down, one to go!

So, this wonderful place known as college has treated me with the utmost greatness for these past five weeks. I still can’t grasp the reality of being a college student; this summer has felt like a summer camp that, once the six weeks are over, I’ll go home and go back to my high school. I don’t know, it is a weird concept to understand but it just seem like I don’t really go to Florida State. I was really surprised at how interesting and fun the classes have been and that I actually enjoyed taking them. I was proud of myself for being able to handle the challenges of completing these papers for my classes in such short time and didn’t let my social life take over. I didn’t really face too much stress so far this summer, but when I did, I was able to get through it with time and patience; stress is something you want to avoid because it is bad for your health! As far as having to feed myself, I had no problems because I had a meal plan and flex bucks so I didn’t do much cooking beside microwaveable foods of course. Laundry was a little nerve-racking the first time I did it on my own here because I was scared I wasn’t going to know how to even work the machine and look like an idiot, but thankfully there were directions on the lid. Something new that I learned about myself was that I was actually able to do my homework right away and get it out of the way; back at home I would always wait until the last minute to do all of my academic assignments. I didn’t really have to do much study during this summer session, but when I had to study for quizzes for my second class, I just did it in between classes. I think the intensity of the school work kind of lessened because here you don’t have to do pointless assignments just to take up time. On the other hand, it was a little intense because your grades were basically only four assignments, so doing well on each assignment was crucial!
