Spring Semester Analysis

Decent Essays
I understand now that I should have communicated this to my professors and advisors (instead of avoiding them), or even taken a leave of absence till I figured out what was going on with me. I figured I would be able to just retake the courses next semester because I had already lost so much percentage of my grade in the time span that I couldn’t concentrate. In preparation for next semester I have removed myself from all the extracurricular office positions I’ve had. I also enrolled in a winter course to make my spring semester lighter and have also changed my major to Management. I know these changes will help me feel less pressure and will help me have successful spring semester.

    Our Lady of the Lake College is a Catholic institution that was created in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who firmly believed that all of creation spoke volumes of God’s love for us. St. Francis was raised in a fairly wealthy family, and it was not until he was captured at battle for two years, that he decided to embark on the glorious journey of knowing Jesus Christ. He began preaching to word of God, and embraced others that were not of his kind. Students who attend Our Lady of the Lake College should be of the same example to others throughout their academic careers. As Franciscans, We live by five core values that are service, reverence and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, humility, and justice.…

    As the season of fall approaches here at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, I have reached the middle of my fall semester as a freshmen college student. Midterms are approaching and I am pulling my hair out due to the sleepless nights and long hours of studying for midterms. There are some students are planning activities for Halloween while I on the other hand am preparing my study guide for my Microeconomic midterm. The closest to a break I would have from school would be Thanksgiving break, and during the break I would return home and begin working for my family. All the stress I am feeling about school could be due to my unorganized school schedule and responsibility of renting an apartment.…

    It was the first day of my second year in Tomball ISD. I walked into my second period, Texas History, with a Mrs. Brough. At first glance, Mrs. Brough seemed to be a little too excited and the state of her desk with several coffee mugs seemed suspicious. It was in this unorganized classroom and with this giddy teacher that I found my love of history. Mrs. Brough was a short and stout woman who never stopped smiling.…

    My first semester at Texas A&M made me realize how quickly time transgresses. As a student that came in with an abundant amount of hours to the university, I feel that each day I spend in class is invaluable. With the credit hours I came in with, I am set to graduate in the Spring of 2018. Knowing that my time on campus is much shorter than other students, I find each day a valuable experience and memory. Academically, I feel at ease since I came in with much experience in rigorous courses and have always been a disciplined student.…

    Wow, what a semester it has been. It has had its ups, it has had its downs, but overall it was three months full of wonderful memories and personal growth. I am very proud of the work I put in this semester and knock on wood, this will most likely be my highest GPA semester thus far. Of all the courses I am taking this semester I have not put in as much consistent work for any of them as I have this class. This is not to say I have not worked hard in my other courses, but in no other course did I have the necessary drive to work on something for hours on end for several days in a row.…

    I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks. Unlike my other class, I didn’t have a chance to work ahead of the class with the instructor for the two weeks that I would be missing. Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…

    I did succeed in making my grades but by the last months of the semester I realize that the stress that came with procrastination wasn’t worth in ad I started working on time management. In high school the words time management are repeated but never really explains. I grew up hating the simple idea of time management, but I have since learned that is means balance. It is easy to think of staying in and doing nothing but studies, but true time management is the balancing the responsibilities you must complete and the things you want to do. This realization has taught me that I can have a “fun” college experience without forgetting the reason I am at a university.…
