One thing that I've realized about college is that it is easier to do well. In your dorm, you are surrounded by hundreds of other people who want to succeed. The University supplies resources such as the library, the coffee shops, and the common rooms, all so that you have a quiet place to go. For Human Behavior, I was just assigned my first group project. Unlike highschool, there were no guidelines. The professor said "Take these three pages in the book, and do something with them." In the rubric, he said that creativeness plays a major role in your grade. Our group decided to do a skit of what happened in the story, then teach the class about the information by playing hangman with vocabulary. It ended up being really fun and the class was really involved. We got the grade back the other day, and we received an A. I was really happy with the outcome. Normally, I am a very structured person. I feel as if I do not have complete control, it won't go smoothly. I learned through this that sometimes you just need to trust others and it will all work out.

Another thing that I'm learning is to rely on others. I am beginning to learn of all the resources that can help me with my studies. As I wrote in my blog before, I am not a language learner. I thought that Italian would be much worse for me. As I also mentioned before, I have a girl in my class who lives in my dorm. Every night, we get together and do our Italian homework and listen to audio clips online. If we have any additional questions, I met a girl who leaves two doors down from me that speaks fluent Italian. She has been a huge help to both of us and it's great to have her to answer questions. Aside from Italian, I also had someone in my dorm help me with writing. When writing a paper, it's so easy to have it proofread by a good amount of people. I feel like I'm doing well here, and I hope that it continues.
