My First Semester in College

I came to college because I really did not have a choice.All my siblings went to college so for me college is just a way of life. For me its no future without college.

The best experience i had in college so far is a debate about televising executions in my english 101 class. I really liked this because it stirred up a lot of controversy and I got to see the true side of people that i've never even spoken to before.

The most challenging experience i had in college is my sociology take home midterm. Even though it was a take home test it was definetley harder than i could handle.

For this semester my greatest accomplishment has been my grade in english which i learned yesterday was a B. I mean it definetley should have been better but thats the first grade i got from any of my teachers.Therefore im crossing my fingers hopin that the next grades will be the same or better

If i could do one thing differently i would do all my assignments before the deadline so i dont have to give in rushed work rather i would be giving in my best work

Next semester i ould like to do all my assignments at least a week before its due, Studay for all my tests in advance rather than cramming the night before. Ill also try my best to make it to every class and on time
