Most of my friends knew right away what career they wanted and had good plans to achieve their specific careers. As for me, I had no clue what I was going to do. I was very envious of them and spent a lot of time worrying if I’d ever figure it out too. Since I still wasn’t sure, I decided that instead of wasting my money and time on classes that I had no interest in taking I would take the year to try and figure it out. My dad was a big help in helping me figure it all out. I started working with my dad at his company. I took a huge interest in the job and actually loved what I was doing there. Coming into the fall semester of this year I finally felt like i was ready to start school again. I decided my major was going to be business and I was very excited to start. I quickly felt very overwhelmed when classes started. Since I took a whole year off I felt as though I lost a lot of knowledge and forgot how hard school was going to be. Most of semester was very stressful and hard for me. The only thing that got me through it was reminding myself that it would all be worth it in the end when I have my degree. Although I got through my first semester back, i realize I need to make some major changes in how I continue. One of the things i need to work on is my time management. I put myself through much anxiety and stress waiting till the last possible day to complete my assignments. Not only was I stressed but also I didn’t give myself enough time to really do my best. I also need to work on studying more. I wasn’t as prepared for most of my tests as much as id like to be. Next semester my goal is to work on changing that.
