Summer 2017

This hectic school year is finally coming to a close, with finals 3 weeks away. I have learned an immense amount during my first year of college. This semester I am in English for ethnic/religious writing, Sociology for ethnicity and nationalism, Physiology, Art history (survey of America, Africa, and Oceania), and Child Development. The English, Sociology, and Art history class were all different from anything I have ever taken before. They were very eye opening classes and gave me knowledge in areas I was unfamiliar with. My freshman year has been a wonderful experience and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Living in the dorms was definitely a great experience, but I am also glad to be moving into my own place. This semester was stressful because I was preparing for summer and the next year, making sure I am on track. I will be taking a CNA class this summer that runs from the end of May until Early July. While going to school I also plan to work. This summer will be busy, but I love to have a set schedule. I think it will be a very successful summer and I see myself accomplishing a lot. As for next fall, I have already registered for classes and will be taking my load down to 4 classes because it will be my first time working while in college and I also have to take out a lot of time to study for the TEAS nursing test. I also added a minor in Nutrition to my Major this semester. Nutrition is something I have also had a passion for since I was a sophomore in high school and I want to keep learning more about it. I realized this while taking my first nutrition course this year because the information was something I felt so interested in and came easily to me. My other goal for college is to study abroad. I looked into it this year and attended an information session. Ideally I would love to go to Thailand in summer 2018. I am not positive what I will study abroad yet, as it is dependent on what needs to be completed before I apply to the nursing program. I will be applying to the nursing program most likely in my second semester of sophomore year. Lots of work to go, but it is always fun.
