This week I realized how fast the end of the
semester is approaching. This semester has seen to fly by. I'm ok and prepared
for the end of the semester in a couple of my classes such as Indian Epics
because I am ahead but in some of my other classes I'm terrified because I
still have so much left to do! So, yes, the end of the semester is so close yet
so far away.
Something that I thought I would share this week
in my "Famous Last Words" is something that one of my professors has
made me realize or rather connected the dots on something I think it really
important. My PR research professor has stressed to my class all semester about
how it's not about the grades that you get in a class it is about the process
of getting those grades. At first I was like "yeah, yeah.... ok what
ever." But now I really do believe it, it just took me a while.
In the past I have had a hard time managing my
stress levels, so this semester I decided I was going to have more fun and try
not to be as strict with my homework and studying times. In stead I have been
trying to give all of my attention to my classes while I am physically in them
during lectures and it has really paid off. I'm getting better grades, I'm less
stressed and I feel great because I'm not as stressed.
It is kind of sad it took me this long into my
college career to realize this, but college really is about the experience.
It's about gaining new friends, learning how to mater multitasking and doing
things outside of what you are normally comfortable with.
P.S. This weekend I am getting a baby corgi. She
is nine weeks old and absolutely adorable.

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that dog is adorable and that is so exciting! Like you, I feel as though as I have so much left to do in some of my classes so it is a little stressful. Also like you, I am definitely trying to be the most efficient with my time because it's my last semester and I want to take it all in while I can! Keep it up and finish up the semester strong!
Hi! I love getting to read people's famous last words. I feel like I can get a true insight into their lives rather than just read the way they write a story. Just like you and Natalie, I feel like there is not enough time in the day to do anything! I hope that I can find time as these last few weeks approach to enjoy things aside from school.
