First semester, I really focused on school, I kept up with my homework and assignments and rarely missed class and I had the grades to prove this. If only I had kept up with it...
My second semester and part of my second year of college are kind of a blur. I spent most of my time drinking and partying. I hardly ever attended any of my classes, and crammed last minute for tests and assignments. Though I had an amazing time and met a lot of new friends because of this, my studies fell behind and as a result so did my grades. Some of my classes I barely passed, and for the first time in my life I actually failed a class.
By the end of my second year I had decided that I wanted to obtain my Bachelors in Business after I finished my Accounting college program. This was when I started to buckle down to try and get my overall average up. But, by this time it was too late.
Even with my extra efforts, I could barely move my average up. I was lucky enough to just make the cut to get into the University program though. But I do regret all the decisions that I made leading up to this.
My advice to you, go out, have fun, college is about making friends and meeting new people. But also, remember why you are there. Because the decisions you make in the beginning will affect you later on!
