As my summer is approaching to an end, I can't help but feel excited and yet nervous for what college will bring to me. It's not the fact that I will be living away from home and finally be independent...okay maybe a little. But what really scares me is college itself. The tests, the homework, the awful essays, and oh yes, did I mention the tests? It wasn't until sophomore year in high school that I finally took school seriously. I'm not sure how this phenomenon finally clicked for me, but thank goodness it did. I was one of those few who actually needed to study in order to get a decent grade. I was always envious of those who could take the test without really studying and claim their glorious A, but for my success I needed to work hard for it. As a nursing major, I really need to work my butt off in order to get into the nursing program into my school, and hopefully into other schools as well. The time for slacking off and procrastinating is finally over, and as I hyperventilate into a paper bag at the thought of this, I really need to step out of my comfort zone. The only way I can become the successful student that I want to be is to branch out and kick my old self to the curb. No offense old self. I need to start asking questions in class, extend my study hours, and even go to the tutor center that my school provides. With this blog not only do I want to record the awesome events that I will encounter in Seattle and in my school, but to also remind myself I'm in this school for a greater purpose. I hope you have enjoyed reading my first post, and gained a little sense of who I am.
Sincerely,
Anna
