Personal Narrative: Who Am I Now

Decent Essays
Who Am I Now? Now I am pretty much a well- rounded college student. From this course, I’ve learned many things, and it's made my first college semester almost bearable.
One of the things I have learned in the semester that has helped me, in the long run, is time management. Before this class, my time management skills were lacking. I used to slack off and get behind on classwork. I have learned to make a daily to-do list, weekly schedule, and monthly event calendar. With the daily to-do list, I would be sure to complete the little things throughout the day. With the weekly schedule, I would jot down classwork and homework assignments I had coming within the week. And with the monthly event calendar, I would put big test dates and schedules

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

To solve this I downloaded a planner app onto my phone that alerted me through the week, and this way of organization helped me tremendously compared to if I wrote things in a planner.…
