I genuinely cannot believe that the semester is over. It feels like I was just graduating from high school yesterday. All together, my first semester of college went surprisingly well. I passed all of my classes, and I have a strong hunch that I got all As. I had some great professors along the way, too.
Since starting college, I feel I've broken out of my shell a bit. As I'm sure I've made it abundantly clear in the past, I am a massive introvert and, with that, I also hate attention. With that combo going for me, having my work critiqued in Digital I was quite terrifying at first, but forced me to become confident in my work. Even in my English 101 class I learned to be more self-assured. My professor for that class was amazing, which lead me to gain enough strength to share with her a short story I wrote that was very close to my heart. She encouraged me to submit the story to Cassandra, so I did. Before I came to Suffolk, I never would have been able to stand in front of my peers and talk about my work, let alone submit one of my personal short stories to the school literary magazine.
As corny and lame as it may be, I'm proud of myself and the progress I made this semester. I started off as a passive aggressive teen, frustrated at my parents for making me go to college, and now I'm a more bold and positive person, slightly excited to see what the next semester has in store for me. So there's that.
