So i started cooking and prepping for my week of healthy eating and i have to say im excited. I know how to cook but i rarely cook because when you a college student YOU AINT GOTT TIMEEEEE. But tonight i think was probably the best chicken breast i've made so far. I made brown butter chicken breast with thyme, sage and shallots. HMMMMM it was so good when i tasted it so im bout to eat goooood this week. The reason why im so excited because this semester i havent had time to eat breakfast lunch and dinner. This is because i work 7:30am till class and then i have a small lunch after my classes then im studying and doing homework until like 12am and then the next day comes and it happens all over again for 5 days. So yeah i havent been eating very well. So hopefully this week is successful.
Adapting to the college life.. WAS THE WORSE. I came into college thinking GPA didnt matter, and i was SOOO WRONG. I went to mesa college my last semester of senior year so i picked up super bad habits. Like skipping class.. not studying.. not taking it serious. So coming into SDSU wasnt so hot. It also didn't help that all of my friends didn't go to college so I chose friends over school my first semester as a freshman. They would hit me up to hang out, eat, and go out at night so my mind was in a completely different place. Though i barley passed all my classes it was full of regret. I had a lot of freedom regarding my parents because i basically did what they wanted my older sister to do and that was (typical asian parents) honors, A's, blah blah and also because i am the first in my family to go to college so they know im serious about school but i took that for granted. I reconsidered and reevaluated my life coming second semester of freshman year. I met a lot of people that actually went to state, which helped me stay focused in school but even then i failed a class.... Which caused me to find balance between school work and having a social life. In the end i found my balance, maybe its because i ended up in a relationship and i couldnt go out as much as i did but it was for the better. My grades started going up but not as much as i wanted it too. Come to find out it was my majorrr. Biochemistry is just not my thing. I chose this major because i thought i wanted to become a pharmacist but i really didnt. I did it because my parents wanted me to and it sucks that i figured this out coming into my third year but better now than later. SO Chemistry --> Biochemistry --> Computer Science... i think i've figured it out. Im enjoying my classes, actually paying attention, going to every class. Its a satisfying feeling to know that im interested in what im learning. All in this roller coaster i've dropped my procrastination habit, being responsible and EATING HEALTHY (hopefully). Life is honestly great right now.
Side note i need to make new friends. LOL all my friends are greek affiliated asians and im honestly tired of hearing and talking about all of that stuff. Everyone is in everyones business and this and that and you get what i mean. Thats why this semester i openly talk to random people in my class to find new friends. not trying to replace my old ones but expand my network sort of speak. So if you
LOL.

Thats why im planning to do blog 7 for some extra points because im going to need it hahaha. okay goodnight!


Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your frustrations with the reflection paper because I definitely felt you on a spiritual level. I personally thought that my actual article was the bomb dot com and then my reflection was just a complete train wreck. I enjoyed reading about your experience in college so far and I'm glad that you're starting to turn your bad habits into good ones. It's all about shaping your identity to achieve your intended goals, good luck!
