So, I just finished up my first year of College.
After starting out rough, and ending my first semester with a 2.1 GPA, I had to change my major, because I was told that I didn't have a chance in hell to make it (pharmacy). after a lot of hard times and EXTREME depression lows. I started out my second semester strong. Found a new major that fit me a lot better (Diagnostic Medical Sonography). Still hard, but more down my alley. After midterms I began to stress out again....relationship problems, and other things caused depression once again, and my grades started to suffer. I HAD to do something. I ended up dropping my chem class, focused on my other classes, focused on myself, gave myself time to sleep, and study. and even a little time to socialize, and I managed to finish this semester with 2 A's, and a C. 3.00 GPA for the semester, bring my Cum. GPA to 2.45.
Hopefully I can use DS to help keep me motivated, and maybe help motivate you guys! I know a lot of you have finished/are finishing a semester, and I hope you did well!
I have a hard semester scheduled in the Fall, so I'm gonna enjoy the summer and prepare to have a successful Sophmore year!
