I had a rough freshman year, I won't try and hide it. I was in a major I didn't like and wasn't happy in, which led me to do the absolute least I could do just to pass. I wasn't happy in my classes and wasn't interested in them. This caused me to not study as hard as I should have and to not put in any real effort.

This has all changed, though. I've switched my major (again), and I'm in classes I'm interested in. I like doing the reading for my Introduction to Criminal Justice class, and I enjoy the lecture material. It's so refreshing to actually be interested in the classes I'm in, and it makes me so happy because I feel like I finally found the major I'm going to stick with.

My classes are so much more my style this semester and anything is easier than the engineering level classes I was taking previously. I like my classes, which makes doing my homework less of a challenge.

My attitude has also changed since I've been back at school. I'm trying to be more positive and have only good vibes. Bad things happen for a reason, and me being unhappy last year has led me to find the major that will make me happy. I finally feel good about school, probably for the first time since being in college.

I have the best support system and the best friends, and I wouldn't have made it to this point without them. I'm forever grateful to have the opportunity to figure out what makes me happy.

Sophomore year is going to be a good year, and I feel confident about that.
