Goodbye Winter Break

The second semester of freshman year has officially began, and it is time for me to get back into my before winter break mentality. No more staying up until two or three in the morning watching Netflix and waking up until at least eleven o’clock in the morning. The one thing that I was not looking forward to about going back to school is trying to find parking because that is always a struggle. Waking up early for class was probably one of the hardest adjustments about going back to school, that and staying up to date on my assignments or readings. So far most of my classes are lecture heavy so most of my homework involves reading, which is a problem. No matter how much I try I cannot seem to sit down and concentrate on what it is that I have to read. Other than my lack of concentration skills, this semester has been off to an okay start. My schedule is very sporadic so it gives me a lot of down time at school in which I do nothing but watch Netflix or sit on my phone waiting for my next class.  I want to but most importantly need to start doing some more productive things in my spare time; it is just a matter of getting myself back into school mode. After looking back to my first semester at Stan State I have realized that I want to make the most out of my last year as a freshman. I want to make new friends, go to and experience college events, and ultimately make new and lasting memories.
