Wow, people have told me that college really flies by but I didn’t really believe it until now. I’m just about done with my first semester of college and it feels like I’ve only been here for like a month at most. However, college has been both a fun and learning experience. Specifically in this class, I do believe that my public speaking skills have significantly advanced. I’ve learned to not have as much anxiety when talking in front of groups and how to better engage an audience. Still, I have much to learn. In future semesters I hope to be able to speak about a subject without first having to write a paper. By this I mean I want to better be able to articulate my thoughts on the spot, without using fillers. What I think I have struggled with the most is my organizational skills. Sometimes I would leave work to the last minute, not because I was putting it off, but because I would forget that an assignment was due. However, I have excelled in not procrastinating. In high school I used to always get distracted by different web sites or my phone, but I have found that it has been much less of a problem while in college. While my lack of organizational skills sometimes kept me from doing my best work, my love of the library has helped me complete my best work. Overall, this semester has really shown me what to expect for the rest of my college career.
