College experience

     My college experience so far has had its ups and downs. I started college a little bit late for my age but that is because I graduated high school peak of when Corona started. Ever since that disease outbreak happened my education had to come to a pause. I wasn't allowed to go out and see my friends or even go out into my yard because of the fear. This also put a pause on schools and learning experiences, but this was the worst of all. I would have been graduating college in a year or so but because of what happened I have been held back 3 years. Ever since I started going back to school I was really nervous and very cautious about those and things around me. My first college semester was just me getting back into the basic classes and trying to remember everything I could in 3 years and also new information. I still had my basic knowledge so it wasn't all that hard. What was really a challenge for me was creating new friends. I know myself, I am not really much of a talker and only comfortable to the ones I have known my whole life so this was a challenge. I did talk to my seatmates but I still found it awkward because I never really got to know them. I always overthink things which causes me to stutter my words and never want to talk but I feel like I am getting better at it?

        College classes are more challenging for me because we have to do more assignments which also tends to stress me out and I end up not doing them or I do them but rushed and not well preformed. Math this semester really put down my self esteem. It got really harder than my first semester so I never wanted to get help. I was always embarrassed to ask questions or I never knew how to. Math this semester brought a part of me out which I never want to see in someone else. I gave up so many times and cried every quiz I took because I would never make it over a 65%. Once I did start getting help and getting the rhythm to my class, my quiz scores still never past over 65 and I always put myself down. This is the last math class I ever have to take in college so I am also stress I am not going to pass and re take it again. As the semester falls to an end I am proud to say my grade has been going up in math. I have been getting the units we have been learning and I want to keep this good energy I have for Math class and keep performing well to pass.

    I also graduated in the middle of covid and didn't start college until last fall, I was pretty nervous to start school after years without taking a class but it hasn't been too bad so far. I'm also glad your grade is going up in your math class !

    I 100% know who you feel. I also graduated high school during covid and I'm still not done with my career. I also changed careers from Architecture to Art and been trying to get my credits up so I can graduate. But it is a challenge and a struggle that many of us are facing. But even if we didn't complete our degrees in the way we wanted or enjoyed our college experience, I rather graduate in my early-mid twenties than be 30 and feel like I done nothing with my life.

  Blog Entry #1          In my first blog, I will be discussing about one of my favorite many hobbies Art. I like to sit down and create whatever is coming to mind in my head. Most of the time I like to search up images and draw from my references or search up videos on how to draw something. I took an interest in Art when I was about 10 or 11. I found out my dad loved to draw, and I ended up coming across a sketch book he had in one of his drawers. Ever since then, I wanted to create pictures and scenery on my own. I get really excited when I'm gifted anything art supply related. Anyone can create anything on a blank paper and turn it into a work of art. You don't have to be professional to become an artist, all it takes is imagination and how you want to express yourself to the world in any type of art form.  Image From: https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awr9.5r_YcBluAgGrAiWnIlQ;_ylu=c2VjA2ZwLWF0dHJpYgRzbGsDcnVybA--/RV=2/RE=1707135615/RO=11/RU=http%3a%2f%2fwww.peakpx.com%2f4548

            Concert Experience                                                                        Photo by: Jasmine Tercero                                                 I have a big enjoyment with going to concerts and love how everybody comes together on music we like. Going to my first concert when I was around 10 or 11 changed my view of the world in some way. I didn't know you could have so much fun seeing your favorite artists live and getting a lifetime experience you'll never forget. I have been to a good handful of concerts throughout my life, but my top concert was when I got to see a K-pop boy group named Enhypen two times. It became a huge memory for me and the chance I got to see them twice has me very grateful. It's tough getting tickets when other people are trying to get some as well, so stress starts to build up but once you got them the best time starts then. Going to concerts is a life experience not lots of people get to experience so I am very gra
