It's time for habits to break and things to get done


Getting my midterm grades, it became evident to me that my high school days are over. I did fairly well, I think at least. My highest grade is ironically enough in the class that I thought I’d do the most poorly in, math. Maybe learning it again really is helping me more than anything. Considering that most of my class grades are based on participation, I feel I deserved what I got because I’m not one to participate in class, especially when I have nothing to say or anything to ask.  My midterm grades ranged from a C being the lowest to an A-, which I think is fairly good. I wasn't and don’t ever hold myself to any standards other than to do my best, and that’s all anyone should ever ask from themselves. If these were final grades, my GPA would be somewhere around a 2.9, which is fair considering the amount of work and effort that I put in, which was very minimal. I definitely need to step up my game for the second half of this semester and quit putting things off. Some of my habits need to break and make room for better ones. I had thought that because I was in college, I’d be more focused on schoolwork, but that ended up not being the case. My view of how I saw myself before I started college is so much different than it is now. I’m the same person I was in high school, putting my well-being first, and not my schoolwork. I really don’t like that, it’s time for these roles to switch places and have school take priority over anything. Working under the clock works for me sometimes, but not always like I think it does and it definitely shows. I've let myself down in more ways than one this first half of the semester, but mostly with my schoolwork.
