Okay, so unfortunately, Thanksgiving was much too short. Fortunately, I am done with school next Wednesday and I will have successfully gotten through my first semester of college. It has been a very hard semester for me, being an all A student in high school make it a bit more shocking when I got to SFA and wasn’t pulling the same average. With next week being finals, I am very nervous, there are two classes that I am kind of on that line with and I am very nervous about getting through them. I feel prepared, but at the same time, I have very bad test anxiety so, well, I guess we will just have to see.

I feel like time has flown by, I never expected for college to go buy as fast as the first semester has. Thankfully, I love Christmas and it is only a week away. SFA has decorated the entire campus in hopes of getting the students ready for the break, and campus is truly gorgeous. There was a lighting ceremony, that I was unfortunately unable to attend, but I was told it was very fun. Coming up in the next two weeks there are events such as the Russian Ballet coming to perform the Nutcraker, a book drive, the Mentor Ring Ceremony, and a holiday decorations ceremony. While we are all very stressed out getting reading for finals, SFA has done a good job to make it to where we are able to take a break for at least a few hours a day with a fun event.

Other than all of this for me, it is honestly study, study, study. I am doing my best to get through next week and get a break and then start off fresh next semester. I learned this semester that taking 16 hours was WAY too many, at least for me, and I have dropped it down to thirteen next semester so hopefully I will be able to truly get involved in some activities on campus.
