Since making this connection between mistakes and growth, I have felt strongly motivated to identify areas of improvement for the new semester and to make changes accordingly.
Fellow first years, last semester might have been a rough one, but we made it and had at least some time to relax and recharge. Now we do it all over again—but this time a little different!
Since it’s now 2022 and a new year, I’ve asked and been asked about new year resolutions. For me, staying on top of my health and tasks and better prioritizing my time are key.
Now, as we begin our winter 2022 semester, I am looking forward to seeing what’s in store. Before writing this blog, I took some time to reflect on my previous semester to see where I could have improved.
