Finals

 It's finally the end of the semester! I have two more days left for this week, then just Monday and Tuesday next week to take my exams and I'm done. In the moment, it feels like the days are going by so slow, but when it gets to the end you look back and think "that flew by." I'm grateful that there hasn't been any snow (hopefully I don't jinx myself for the next couple of days) because I commute and with the traffic and slow I just know I'd be going crazy having to travel for a longer time than usual. I'm hoping to finish out the semester with the grades I was hoping for, really these finals are gonna be a big part of determining my final grades too. Despite the stress and hard work, I actually enjoyed my classes and professors. I'm especially glad that a couple of my classes like English moved to be hybrid just to finish off our last project. Reflecting back on my semester, I think I could definitely have done better. Better as in taking more time to study, time and stress management. With all of the advice and my own trial and error experiences, I can take what I have learned that works for me and doesn't work me, into the next semester and hopefully feel better about my academics and have a smoother semester. Specifically from this English class, I really enjoyed doing these blogs. Although it was hard coming up with topics for some weeks, it felt good to vent and express myself and just write. It's also nice to read other people's posts just to better understand them and see that we're kind of going through the same things. I also enjoyed doing the experimental learning project because it was group work. It felt good to do your own part but not have the burden of doing the whole project. It was also really interesting learning about my group's own foundation, the Fair Haven Rape Crisis Center, and everyone else's. I had a great semester and I hope you all did too. Hopefully it gets better from here!
