The switch from the Sheboygan campus to the Green Bay campus has been an adjustment, but as a second-year student I have the homework workload figured out and the switch up here has been good. I often found myself getting distracted while attending the Sheboygan campus, because I still had all my friends at home, and had plenty of other things to do.  I expected Green Bay to feel distant from home, but honestly, that’s not the case. What I love about the Green Bay campus is how at home it feels. I am only 50 minutes away from home. It’s the perfect distance to feel at home, but also on your own. I don’t have to worry about family or my childhood friends distracting me, but if I need them, they are always 50 minutes away.   

Now, the real deal starts. All the distractions to the side, the way I feel about the locatio to the side, school is now starting. There are certainly things I can be better at; most people would say procrastination and that’s what I could say. I have been tending to put things off to the side mainly the first 3 weeks of school, but once the exams started, that all ended abruptly. In all honesty, I still catch myself procrastinating but after not preparing for an exam all that well once, that script flipped. My grades have been good so far as well. Normally, my grades were shaky to start off the school year, but so far, I’m keeping up with the workload. Outside of academics, I’ve been doing well regarding friendships. I was always a very introverted person, but once this school year started, I was just able to meet a more diverse group of people, and being away from home has helped me really explore my own interests and talk to new people so I don’t remain a stranger.
