This semester I want to keep my grades up, that is my goal. Last semester I did well, and I hope to keep that up. I hope to do better and get a higher GPA than last semester, but I don’t know if that will be possible. I think if I keep pushing myself like last semester, I will do well. But last semester was different for me, I had mostly online classes and it was easier for me to get my work done. This semester I have all in-person classes, and everything is due by the next class most of the time which is a bit more challenging as I have more classes that are like this and other activities outside of class which makes it difficult as well to get my assignments done every once in a while.
As the end of the semester approaches, I find myself wanting to do schoolwork less and less as well. I would rather hang out with my friends or watch something on Netflix and play Candy Crush. I find myself struggling in two of my classes, not in the sense that I’m not doing my work but that I’m not doing my work well enough because I don’t understand the material that well. I don’t give myself enough time to do some of my classes, I focus on only a few and do the others when I have time and I think that will be my greatest opponent as the semester progresses. I think I need to regulate the time I spend with my friends and the time I spend on each class to be successful in my schoolwork but I don’t have the heart to say “no” to my friends all the time but I think it is necessary in order for me to achieve my goals.
