4. Realizing

This week began well, even though I took two tests on Monday. I was much more relaxed about taking these tests than I was about previous test. My roommate and I are getting closer. It was kind of weird in the beginning, but weeks have gone by and we understand each other more. It feels great to be able to have a connection with my roommate.
I am continuing to figure out how hard college life really is. It really helps to be able to write down my thoughts and emotions. I am finding out things about myself and understanding myself better than before. It is very crucial that I become a better writer considering I am a Pre-law major. English class is helping me to expand my thought process and write better.
Getting my tests grades back at the end of this weekend, I realized I am not living up to my expectations. I have decided to change my purpose for coming to college. Originally, my reason for coming to college was to get a degree and get a good job. Now, my reason is to learn. That may sound weird, but I realized I must learn to be a better person and learn to understand different perspectives. My grades are important, but it is more important that I take something from each lesson.
