I got to be honest, my first day of school I was alone. I didn’t know nobody, and I don’t know what came to me that made me nervous to talk to people. I was so used to being the Jenifer that would make sassy comments back to people or the Jenifer that would laugh out loud no matter where she was at. I lost my personality for a little bit. Instead of being obnoxious like I’m normally am, I became an observer. I watched the way people acted, especially during lectures. I really don’t get it, why would you start packing your stuff in the middle of class? Why do people move around to get ready to leave before the professor finishes their instructions? Why are you so rude to not only the professors, but to your peers too?
I am majoring in Public Relations and I love it. I get so excited when family, friends or just random people ask me what it is because its something that I actually want to do. It’s something that I want to devote my time to as a career. But like I said, people are so rude. Once I finish explaining what my dream job is, most of the responses I hear are the “Oh, I expected more from you.” or “Oh, are you sure about that?” Yes, I am sure about and this is more for me. Don’t get me wrong, there are people that are supportive of my major, and I greatly appreciate it. But the thing that bothers me the most is just because I won’t be wearing a full suit or scrubs at my job doesn’t make it any less. And that’s for all majors. If you have and know what you’re going to do, go for it. If it’s your passion, go for it. My point is G o f o r i t.
Im a full time student and Im working as well. I can handle my schedule. I know what I can and cannot handle. When I tell people my schedule, they immediately think I can’t do it, but if I couldn’t I wouldn’t have put myself in that position lmao. I go to school everyday either two or three class a day, and on Fridays only one. (Yes I know that schedule sounds wack but it was the only thing that was available) and I work mostly four days out of the week as well, mostly the weekends. What I do since I really don’t have a day of rest is I plan out when to study and do homework. The days I get home early I study and do house chores, I do my homework as soon as I get home from work. And if I know I have a paper due soon I do it as soon as it is assigned. So far my layout has been working really well for me. Im chillin, not losing sleep and little to no stress. I may joke about it but its really stress from personal problems that I resolve very quickly.
But nonetheless, I am having a great time at UH. Let’s see what I’ll type for finals week lol. Thank you for reading (: Ciao! -Jenifer
