This journal entry shall be dedicated to college – an update on how I am doing as a college freshman entering the second half of my first term.

I have to say college definitely polars to my previous school experiences. I have to say I see a difference in not just the material but, my work ethic. I have addressed that my work ethic has hindered upon beginning as well as my solution to it. However, I am not satisfied with my work thus far.

I have adapted to results below my usual standard. I do want to be easier on myself however, I still want to achieve greatness.

During an advising session I was immediately addressed on not showing myself (on camera) and I must say, if I am going to achieve the greatness that I am striving for, I must make my presence known. In times like this I found myself trapped by not treading outside my comfort zone.

Thus, with this journal post I promise myself to try new things.

I admittedly do not even have social media and have not really connected with my classmates as much as I would have liked. Networking is definitely a must – especially if I plan to graduate with a business degree.

That is all for this post,

Ashanti

P.S. wish me luck!
