There are simply too many words to describe the completion of your first semester of college. Being on what it seems like a whirlwind of emotions, you may be coming out of the first semester disappointed, happy, lukewarm, or just OK. Either of those is normal and perfectly OK.

With so much change and adjustment, it was easy to feel defeated, have too many high expectations of all the activities you want to do, and being able to balance school at the same time. However, with all the newness and change I feel that first-year students forget to thank themselves for putting in hard work to get good grades this semester, making new friends, or getting involved.
