1. I came to college because- I wanted to continue on with my education, and pursue my dreams of becoming a Physical Therapist.
2. The best experience I’ve had in college so far is- Exeperincing new classes and meeting new people,also taking classes that interest me and are quite challenging.
3. The most challenging experience I’ve had in college is- Trying to sit still for two hour long classes, also trying to pass every course and maintain a high GPA.
4. This semester, my greatest accomplishment has been- Making it to all of my classes and coming prepared to them all. Aldo passing them with a good grade.
5. If I could do one thing differently, I would- I would of signed up for more classes to take this semaster, since i didn't know what classess to take at the beginning, now that i am aware, i wish i would of taking more classes.
6. Next semester, I would like to- Take as many classes as possible, maintain a good GPA, and achieve some new experiences.
My best piece of advice for college freshmen is- To not procrastinate, do all of the work once giving, also to prepare for classes before they start.
In a nutshell, my first semester in college has been- FUN. It gets stressful at times, but than once you got all of your work mastered and also managed your time well, everything else is just easy and sometimes, fun.
