College is
the time to not make mistakes. College
however, is the place to find what’s working and what’s not and change what’s
not working. So far freshman year, I feel
as though the transition has been rather smooth. However, one thing I am failing at seems to
be my study habits. When something gets
boring, I tend to walk away and never come back to it. Even though I am failing at some of my study
skills, I feel as if with hard work and determination, I can improve those
skills. Its hard for me to study
something that I have a hard time connecting with modern day, especially
history. This week I learned that in
order for me to turn my failure in history to success, I need to start connecting
it to modern day. Even though sometimes
it might seem there is no connection, when you really understand the concepts
of what happened, there always is some connection even if it’s small.
This week
has taught me to stick through something even when its hard, because it only
gets easier when you stick with it.
College is the time to make those connections and get as much as
possible out of everything as possible. It’s
the only time where you can make mistakes without hurting your future. There always ways to fix the mistakes,
sometimes it takes harder work then normal, but in the end it’s all worth it. When I actually go out into the real world, I
know I will have those times where I fail at something, but knowing there is
always a lesson to be learned is comforting.
Everyone fails, whether you get a lesson from it or not truly makes the
biggest difference.
Life is
made up of trial and error; we just have to learn to embrace the process.
