I can't believe that tomorrow marks the end of my college classes. I admit there were times where I wanted it to end but now that it's about to it's kind of sad. It's like a bittersweet moment. I'm going to miss the new friends I made. I honestly didn't think I would talk to them. Not that anything was wrong with them but I'm kind of shy sometimes. I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience the college life. I learned some good things about me and some bad things about me. I know I got a lot of  bad habits to break. But I also know that I have a lot of good habits that I need to develop. I just hope that I passed all my classes though. It would be heartbreaking if I didn't.

Volunteer

   One way to get a great job experience is to volunteer. By volunteering you can get a firsthand experience at the job they want to do. Sometimes people can find out what they want to become in life. For instance, if someone volunteers at a daycare they might find out that they actually enjoy working with kids. So now they know that they should become something that deals with kids. If they wouldn't have volunteered they probably wouldn't have known that. They would have probably made a career out of something that would not have made them as happy as they are when they work with kids. Volunteering can also get people used to working with others and develop their people skills. No matter where you work at you are going to have to be able to work with other people and deal with their attitudes. If you volunteer somewhere you will be able to get used to people and how they act with others. Plus, you can find out more stuff about yourself.

Job

    One thing I suggest anyone, especially college students, to do is to get a job. I know everyone might not need it but if you do then get one. Of course that will bring on extra responsibilities so if you can't handle the extra load then don't do it. The reason I suggest people to get a job is so they can be independent. They won't have to depend on others to give them money so they can do what they want to do. They can feel great because they actually worked for what they got. Plus, they will learn how to be more responsible. When people make their own money they tend to be more careful when spending it. If they do decide to spend it, it would be on something they need instead of something they want. Times are getting hard so people really need to get a job if they can. Gas prices are raising, and people can't depend on their friends and family to give them gas money. They are going to have to work for their gas money and more money for other extracurricular activities.

Family

    When your back is against the wall and you need someone you always have your family. No matter what they will always be there for you. I know they might get on your nerves and you can't stand them at times but no matter what you'll always love them. Yes y'all are going to argue and fuss and fight but when the time comes they'll have your back. No matter what they'll be there for you. Yes there are some family members that you got to distance yourself away from but not all.  Remember that you can't pick your family. But you know most if your family will lift you up when you are feeling down. They'll defend you when it seems like you can't defend yourself. They won't turn their backs on you when you need them the most. If they got it you got it. That's how family is suppose to be. I feel sorry for those people who don't get the chance to feel that type of love or have that type of bond with their family. If you do have that bond you got to appreciate. A lot of people would kill to be in your shoes.

Got to do better

                These last few weeks I haven’t really been giving my all to my classes. I mean I do my work but I could do way better. I really have been slacking, especially in my English class. I really go to do better. My grade should be better than what it is. I mean I know she said that all of our grades aren’t calculated yet but that’s not an excuse. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I got to get my head in the game. I mean I know it’s late but it’s not too late. I can and I will pull my grade up. If I don’t then I will be basically doing all of this work for no reason. I refuse to waste my time on anything. I know I’m not technically wasting my time but that’s what it would be like. I got to get my head in the books for the remainder of the semester. I know if I do what I know I can do I’ll pass my classes with at least a B. This is going to be a long last week and a half. But I know in the end it will be worth it.

Classes

                My math class ended so early yesterday. I mean we have never gotten out of class 30 minutes early. It was so shocking that I didn’t know what to do with my time. Everybody went to the library and just sat in there. The thing is I mean literally everyone who didn’t have a class was in the library. According to the librarians we were very loud. The thing is that everyone was whispering. Maybe because a lot of was in there it seemed liked that. To us we weren’t even being loud. Then they started going overboard. I was standing doing a quick braid and I got yelled at for that. They act like I was killing somebody or something. They didn’t even want me to stand up. I mean like that’s just crazy. It wasn’t any seats at the table so I didn’t have a seat. Eventually I got a seat and sat down. It still seemed like they were doing the most. It seemed like every time I looked around they were yelling as us telling us to be quiet. It was like the more people that came in the more they yelled. I eventually just got my stuff and left.

Work Hard Stay Humble

    Work Hard Stay Humble. Those are four words that everyone should live by. You’ve got to grind hard in order to be successful in life. Nothing in life is giving to you. You have really got to work for what you want. Once you have gotten it you have to be humble. It’s to be proud of your accomplishments but don’t be a proud person. What I mean when I say that is to not be a showoff. When you are around other don’t always bring up your accomplishments. Don’t through your success in other people faces. You can lose all that just as fast as you gained it. Once you lose it then what are you going to do? Plus, no one likes a showoff. You will quickly lose friends or gain fake ones. You worked hard for your success and by being proud you’ll have no one to share it with.  No matter what you got to be humble. It’s ok to say something every now and then but not all the time. You don’t have to speak about your accomplishments. Just sit back and let your accomplishments speak for you. Always remember to Work Hard Stay Humble.
