Dear my beginning of the semester self,

My first semester of college was surreal. I feel that part of me was still trying to wrap my head around the concept that I was on my own for the first time, even though of the whole at home teaching. This semester I achieved my goal of getting a good grade in my classes. I redefine my expectations because I can focus more doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll be in class 100% of the time, always alert, always getting A’s. I still need my relaxation days, my skip assignments, at least SOME times. I also became better with my time management. Time management was the key to my success during my first semester. I was very diligent about keeping track of my assignments, due dates, and schedules.
