Better Transitioning

This week I feel like that I have transitioned much better than any other week so far. I am feeling a lot better about being in college. It still has its up and downs, but I think that I am feeling better about myself and how I can handle it.

I feel that I can handle things a lot better now because I have a great group of friends that I can go to and just turn to them when my day has not been the best. I have known most of these people before I started college. We have started to become each other’s support group; we eat together, we study together, we make sure that each of us gets our homework done.

Today is Wednesday and I do not have a crazy amount of homework left to do. I just have a few things left on my list of “homework that needs to get done”. I am trying to separate things by days. I do the homework that was assigned the day before so I am alternating subjects, so they stay fresh in my mind. I am also setting more goals for myself. Like when I finish my theology note card then I can have a snack or after I study my human anatomy and physiology I can go talk to my suite mate Sam about something. I now know that I need to relax or chill out and not freak out, that everything is going to be okay.

There is still downs or bumps in my week, like I didn't do so well on my human anatomy and physiology exam. I thought I did well on the exam but it turns out that I didn't do so great on it. That’s really depressing. What made it a little bit harder was that right after I got the test back my roommate came back to the dorm room and was so happy that she got an a on her psychology exam. I am happy for her, I really am but I am still sad that I didn't do as well on my exam.

I hope that next week is about the same but my test scores are better. I know that most of this is all based on how I handle things so I am trying to keep an open mind on things and to just to put a happy face when other people are trying to get me down. I am stronger than that, I can make it through college!
