Eval

As the end of my freshman year comes to a close I would say it was a lot harder than I expected. There were many fun times but there were also a lot of hard lessons to be learned. Some of the academic ones of course included not procrastinating as much and to keep a better eye on my studies. I also learned to be careful of the people that you meet and hang out with. Though it's a lesson that every mother has been telling their child since second grade, it's a lesson that had been well forgotten until recently. I can remember entering into college and being afraid and not knowing what to expect. I can say that after this I am not as afraid as I was. I have learned to take some chances and have fun but, I have also learned to be cautious and not be stupid. After this year, I am looking forward to heading into sophmore year with this newly aquired knowledge.

As of my writting evoulution, writting (especially creative writting) has become a lot easier after having this blog. I was never one for creative writting but after this semester I am thinking about taking a creative writting class this summer and keeping a blog of my own. I would like to become more involved in the arts. There were poetry readings and cultural events that I had never even heard of and will probably never hear of again after this class is over but my goal for next year is to go to more readings and events offered by Penn State. I never realized how enjoyable it could be to sit down and listen to someone read to me or hear about someone else's life.

 

I completed the SRTE'S (and I would like to say this is very clever because I probably wouldn't have completed them if you hadn't of made me write this sentence)
