Other than still growing vertical, I have really grown mental. First semester started off really hard for me. It’s been a big step to be able to feel comfortable here at school. Sitting in a chemistry class with more people than what was in my entire high school seemed crazy at first. But when you reach problems and different situations I figured out how to use my resources to answer all of my questions so I did not get left behind.
At first a pushed myself way to much, trying to take close to 18 credits which I found out to be a bad idea. So I had to drop a class, which allowed me to enjoy school a lot more. A good way I found to help college seem easier and fun was by having by having fun and relaxing. Some times after taking a long test or a changing piece of homework reward yourself and do something that you enjoy. Whether it maybe heading to the rec or watching TV. It helps take your mind off that stressful subject and enjoy your time while your still here because time has really flown by.
I agree that having a huge class size was a big change, but it's not as bad as you expect when it's over! Great advice about relaxing when you can, that helps me with stress too!

Haha, how do you still keep growing vertically? ;) But I definitely know what you mean about the big class size. There are more people in my chemistry class than there were in my K-12 school! I always need time to relax after a test and take my mind off school for a bit.
