Besides the almost month long break between semesters, Which I might add I am extremely pleased about, I am looking forward to a possible change in majors. I am looking at going for an LPN. The classes seem to be a little less rigorous, but what makes me the most happy is I can complete the traing in about a year and get into the workforce a whole lot quicker. After that my options are open. I can work and try to get my RN or I can do other things (like maybe because I have a job get a home equity loan and start a business). I dont know if I'm so much looking forword to next semester or if i'm really looking forword to seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Hope springs eternal as they say.
For Freshmen coming in, my biggest piece of advice is to keep up with your classes. STUDY. The sciences arent like Political Science or History, in those areas you have plenty of grey area to work in, you can express opinion and it not affect your grade, The sciences on the other hand are exact and you better know it. Another thing I might advise would be to think carefully before registering for Chemistry, Algebra and Anatomy all in the same semester, Especially if your not a whiz in math. Chemistry, Anatomy and Algebra chew up a LOT of time. I took all 3 and this was by far my hardest semester ever. (I transfered with 22 credits). Either way you go just devote yourself to the classes and keep on keepin on.

EXCELLENT Freshmen advice! I will be using these next Fall with the new crop ;) Keep on keepin on seems to be your motto, it's a good one. I agree that taking all of those classes in one block is suicide. I don't know why it's set up that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that you have decided to switch majors and see a light at the end! I have enjoyed meeting you this year and hope we stay in touch! 10/10
