Sophomore Year, Week 2
Hello goslings! I'm back from summer vacation! Did you miss me?
No? Okay, then. Well, I still hope you had a marvelous break from school!
This semester is shaping up to be a busy but fun time. Right now, I am partaking in a remote internship so that I can have real-world experience while I'm still in college. Also, I am participating in 3 English classes as well as a Political Science class for my distribution. (In case you didn't know, the distribution is a list of required topics that students take to get a well-rounded liberal arts education and to graduate. For example, I am taking the Political Science class for my distribution.)
So far, my semester is going well. I've already written several papers and reading responses, but what else would you expect from an English major? As of right now, my favorite class is my ENG 392, which is a special topic class about writing reviews and criticisms. The rest of the students are kind and Prof. Abdur-Rahman is sweet and funny. I think it's going to be a great semester!
I would also like to mention one side note: make sure that, when choosing your classes, you think about what is best for you. This was the first semester I had to drop a class. With my internship, other classes, and club duties, I just couldn't handle that 5th class. Before this semester, I was always hesitant to drop classes. I felt like I had already made a commitment, so dropping the course would've been like quitting. However, it is also important to realize what workload works for you to ensure your mental health. So yes, make every semester count with academics, but also make sure you have time to breathe. If a class doesn't feel right to you, talk to your advisor and peers!
Now that the serious parts are out of the way, enjoy these pictures of my first few weeks back!
