Fall 2017 At Blinn College!

Moving off to attend Blinn College was a very big and hard decision for me to make. Being away from my family and friends was something that I had to get used to and as of now I am still trying to get used to being away from them. There has been a bunch of good things about me attending Blinn and a bunch of bad things. Some of the things that have went well at Blinn would be the life-long friends that I have made, choosing a really good reading teacher, and me barely missing any class like I did in high school. The downfall about attending Blinn made me realize that psychology was not an easy class at all, I had to drop a class so I would not mess my GPA up, and being away from my friends at home. Being in this reading class has actually helped me succeed in some of the things I do in everyday life. I understand reading passages better than I have before and my vocabulary has gotten a lot better. I failed by not standing up for what I told myself I was going to do in my freshman year of college. I told myself I would not let my grades slack so I can have a high GPA and I started to not care. I also told myself I would study and that really has not happened yet. I love just being on my own and the teachers not on my back on about what I had to do. In high school the teachers were always trying to find ways just to really irk my nerves. One of the things I hate most about attending this school is how attendance is such a big thing here. I think it should not matter because we pay our own tuition so it should be our own choice to make. Next semester I feel like I will do a lot better because I now know what it is like to be a college student. I know what to expect when a teacher is going to give a test. Some of the classes that I had to take this semester made me realize that I had no care in the world for them. So in the spring I am changing my major to hopefully something that interests me and I will actually attend school and care about my grades.
