Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Let me tell you, this semester I gained more than school knowledge. I learned much more about myself than I thought I ever would.

Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Last semester, I dropped one class and got a C in another. That stopped me from getting into the nutrition program that I sought after. I pledged that this semester I would work harder than ever before to get into that program. The class I retook was rough at first because I would often get flashbacks of what the class used to be for me aka Satan's Den. But once I got the hang of things, going to SI, Aplus, and class day after day, I didn't give up. I'm hoping that my hard work pays off for that class.

The class I retook, I just realized that the professor made the class more difficult than it initially should be. I worked as hard if not twice as hard to get the grade I desired. The matter of the fact was it was a mentality thing as well. I was not in a good place, to begin with, last semester. I was very worried at the beginning of the semester that having a boyfriend would hinder me from my studies. But I soon realized that he's one of my biggest fans. He studies with me every single day so that I'm able to continue growing. In a way, we water each other's garden so that we're able to prosper and grow. If it weren't for him and a select few, I wouldn't have been able to make it through this semester.

As the semester came to an end, I still struggled to study but it was a bit easier than the year before. I only hope that when the grades come out, I did better than the semester before because I only want to grow. I'm looking forward to the next semester and hoping that it will only be better than before.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
