The transition between high school and college wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I’m starting to get adapted to being on my own and doing things on my own schedule. I realize that I need to work on some things such as setting plenty of time aside for each class to study so I can fully understand the material. In the past I've had the tendency to put things on the back burner and do them the day before they were due and I'm slowly discovering that I need to drop that habit. My college life is still developing, each and every day I meet new people. All of my professors seem pretty cool, but I think I'm going to have a difficult time in English Comp I because I don't particularly enjoy reading or writing. I'm starting to realize that if I want extra money during the school year to do things outside of school, I'm going to need a job. Often I find myself staying up past one or two in the night trying to get things done so my whole sleep schedule has kind of been switched up. I'm beginning to really enjoy college. When I do go home for weekends it seems different and awkward (maybe due to the fact that I'm no longer there on a regular basis). I have had some stress outside of school with my mom being in the hospital due to having a second stroke and I'm trying really hard not to let the stress get to me and focus on my school work. I am the first generation of my family to go to college and I want to make my grandparents and sisters proud of who I am and who I will develop into with the help of a college education. Through reading the TLU reader I've realized that maybe the major I had originally choose won't definitely be the profession I choose to go into. College life is filled with different opportunities and ways to get involve, in which I realize it might be in my best interest to get involved in something constructive outside of my class work. I've noticed that through coming here to Texas Lutheran, I've had this urge to become stronger as a Christian because I believe with the help of Jesus Christ I can accomplish anything in this world. I know that down the road I will go through struggles but I have to try my hardest to make the best of those struggles so I can become better as a student and as a person
