Transition 2

I must say high school and college are totally different like my friends have told me. From transition from high school and college are tremendously different in so many ways academic wise and athletics too. Being in college has definitely taught me a lot of lesson in life and sport wise too. I've learned that I definitely have a litte bit more time than I did in high school and that I need to manage my time a lot better to get my homework done, because if you don't get it taken care of it will start to pill up eventually and I learned that big lesson real quick and it sucked because I had to pull pretty much an all nighter and I've never done that before in high school so I was exhausted the next morning. It was a big wake up call for me. Since I've been up here at school I have learned that I had to grow up a lot more and start to learn how to be more independent now, because I am now on my own without my parents by my side to help me out every step of the way. That wasn't a too big of a transition because my parents definitely raised me to be independent so being away from them hasn't affected me that much because I already had to pay for a lot of things by myself already as it is. So it wasn't hard trying to stop leaning on them for money. I pretty much had that under control. A big change that hit me academic wise that the major that I want to major in here is the hardest one in Texas at Texas Lutheran University which is Kinesiology. I learned that by my first Human Anatomy and Physiology test. I thought I study really good too. I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning and I felt so confident and everything, but when it came to test day I didn't feel like I did that great and when I got that test grade back it definitely told me I wasn't ready for that test. From then on I knew the rest of the semester was going to be a struggle for me in that class, because I was so overwhelmed by all the information that we had to know for the test I couldn't memorize it all. Same for the lab we have connected to our Anatomy and Physiology class. When we had our midterm for that class..lets just say I was very lucky to even get that low of a grade, because I thought I did 10 times worse than what I got. The bad thing is that our lab is 25% of our Anatomy and Physiology class. So I am really nervous about this final exam after thanksgiving break that we have to take for lab, because I have to do really good to make my Anatomy and Physiology grade go up.
