Since the start of the semester I would say I have grown. I am still very much the same though. I don't study near as much as I should. In high school, I never had to study. 4.0. No big deal. Now, I do the classic cram-the-night-before-the-test thing that every speaker and lecture advises against. I have an A in almost every class which I feel is good for my first semester.
I have learned to manage time well. I haven't missed any of my classes. I work 16 hours per week at my work-study job. I go to the gym 4 times per week. I don't skip any meals. I think I am successful at the college lifestyle.
As far as what I've learned, I know that I can get help if I need it by getting a tutor or going to SI, etc. I know it is important to get involved either by joining clubs or volunteering. These things not only help you grow as a person, but they are valuable assets to your resume, which is basically what it all comes down to in college. Everything you do is to make your resume look better than the next guys.
Hixson class has helped me grow as a student and as a person. It has been a great experience and I am happy I could be a part of it.
