I am graduating in twenty-five days, that is scary but exciting. Through my last semester here at Texas Tech and in my undergraduate, I have noticed a dramatic change in how I do my assignments and overall academically. I feel like I am more on top of my assignments and doing a lot better on my tests. Of course, with a little fails due to senioritis. I know particularly in this class I have missed assignments due to either me not wanting to do the assignment and forgetting since its due on a random day that none of my classes have ever used.

Try to do every assignment and the extra credit just in case so you wont panic come the end of the semester. I won’t say it is impossible to bring your grade up last minute, but I don’t recommend it because it puts a lot of stress on yourself and you won’t make the best grade. Coming into college is very exciting, to have freedom to pick your classes and at what time but with freedom comes independence and responsibility. My advice is to take school seriously but don’t stress yourself out too much, it won’t be the end of the world if you fail a class. Try your hardest and enjoy it as much as you can because once you graduate it’s the real world and
