1. Knowing the campus.

I think I improved a lot with knowing my way around college, because since this is my first year I have been a little lost with finding things around campus and this course helped me with that.

2. Knowing myself.

Thanks to some activities and self-assesments I've been able to know my strenghts and weaknesses a little better. For example, when wee did the OCEAN activity.

3. How to be successful.

I think I learned a lot of strategies and exactly how I have to use the school resources in order to never fail a class. So far I have good grades in my courses!

1. Time management.

Working and studying isn't something easy. I know I still did a good job in both but I could've done better when it comes to my grades. If I need extra help with my grades I would go to any on-campus labs, for example the math lab or the writing center to ask for extra help so I can improve my grades.

2. Not communicating enough.

I am the shy student most of the time, the one that rarely asks questions. This is somethng I definitely have to improve because if I have doubts and don't ask or say something, I will never be able to improve my grades, which is my goal. I will definitely use the help that an advisor or my teachers can provide me with on campus.

1. Strategies.

Studying strategies will definitely help me to be successful in the future, this is the lesson that I enjoyed the most because it is useful now and for when I transfer to a 4-year university.

2. Cope with stress.

This one is the most difficult one for me, I have learned different strategies to cope with stress in this class that I will definitely try out.

3. Time management.

I learned that some things are better if done immediately and not waiting until the last minute. I will for sure try my best to be more organized with my time and this course has helped me with that by giving me some advise to deal with it.
