After being at Iowa State for nearly a semester I have learned a lot about myself and I think some of the lectures have stuck with me too. Before school started the thought of large lectures were scary but I quickly started to like them. In high school I spent a lot of time at home, so it was a big change to come to Iowa State and call it home. I have learned to be independent and make my own decisions.
The Hixson seminar has taught me about many campus resources that can help me succeed in college. One thing we learned about was budgeting. Since money doesn't grow on trees, I need to carefully spend my money. One way I have done this is to only have a certain amount of cash at the beginning of the week and try to make it last all week.
I think time management is the most important thing to be a successful college student. I have learned a lot about managing my time but I know I still need to learn more. Some days I have a lot of time but I seem to waste it away and I don't get anything done. College life is a balance between classes, study time, fun time and sleeping. Overall I think if I improve my time management skills and keep working hard in my classes I will be successful at Iowa State.
I also believe that time management is a very important thing to learn inorder to be a successful college student. I like your overall look at college life because it is a balance of everything and it teaches you a lot.
