College is a very new change for every freshman student, including me. It is way different from high school and I am still getting used to it. I have a few goals for myself and one of them is to make new friends. It's a typical goal for a lot of college students I think will be harder for me, a commuter, because obviously I don't live on campus. I want to introduce myself to someone new in my classes every day. To meet this goal, I will chat with someone either in my classes or around campus and see if they want to get together and study, or just to hang out once in a while. 

I also want to keep on top of my homework and studying and try not to make it too overwhelming. I know that there will be much more work and studying to do in college, so I need to stay on task with all of it. To do this, I bought a planner and will write down my assignments every day. If I know ahead of time that I have a project or homework, but it's not necessarily due next class, I will either start or finish it and get it done before the due date comes. My classes meet every other day so I will try not to do the homework for the class the night before, I will try to do it the night of the class, and have it ready for class, that way I won’t have to worry about it.

What I've learned throughout this experience is that in order to do well in college, I will need to work hard and the best way to do that is to make sure all of my work gets done at the right time, and preferably, not at the last minute. I think if I wait until the last minute, I will get too stressed out and not do my best on things, so I need to plan out what my homework assignments are and when they need to be finished by. Also, that college is for getting to know new people and forming new friendships, so I have already started to get to know my peers of SCSU, and will continue in the future. I believe that my college experience is going to be great and I will work hard to make sure it is.
