I feel good about taking this course and college in general. At first I was really anxious about my first day on August 25th because it’s a new chapter for me since I graduated from High school. However it went pretty good and my professors made me feel welcomed and comfortable. A study skill that works for me is working alone, no distractions and reviewing material I wrote down from a class. What doesn’t work for me is being around a lot of chatty people. My only concern I have is the work load, in a way it stresses me out but I know I have to take it one class at a time. 
The picture above is me and my dog. This photo was taken when I was younger. I chose this picture because this was my first ever pet, unfortunately he passed and I haven’t had a pet since.
Intro
I would say the word that best describes how i feel about starting college is enthusiastic. I was so thrilled when i found out i was going to start school since i haven’t been in about 7 years. It’s going to be hard getting back on track but at the end it’s all worth it. Graduating college is a big step for me since i will be the first generation in my family to be doing it. I am currently taking classes and i feel a little unstable in class because i have little memory from classes in high school. Being able to have a routine that includes school in a way it betters my life. Responsibilities go hand to hand with college and one of those responsibilities is studying. I find it that the most efficient way for me to focus and actually study is by getting myself to a bright, quiet room with some snacks. Starting my classes have made me feel all types of emotions but all the synonyms for exited should end up describing how i feel.
Homework 1.1
One word that describes how I’m feeling about this course is surreal because even though I have made it this far I didn’t think I would’ve made it this far. When it comes to my study skills I would say that studying has been a struggle for me, I feel like even when I do try to study it doesn’t work but I also tend to loose focus when studying. Something I need to learn better is knowing how to stay focus and finding better ways that make studying effective for me.
This picture means something to me because it signifies having peace in my life.
