Buckle Down, Do Your Work

Looking at my midterm grades for this semester, I cannot say I am neither proud nor disappointed in myself. Yes, of course I could always do better, but I am passing every class and I can count that as a success for my first semester in college. As the rest of the semester comes upon us, of course I am going to try and get my grades up, but I cannot change the grades I already have, so there really is no point in getting mad about them, or beating myself up over it. In order to keep my good grades up, I plan on keeping the study habits I currently have for those classes. As for my bad grades, the classes I am doing poorly in are subjects I am not necessarily good at; therefore I need to push myself harder to improve my grade. I can try a different study habit, go to the professors’ office hours, or even get a tutor. Basically, I just need to buckle down, stop procrastinating, and make myself try a hell of a lot harder than I currently am. My grades definitely reflect the amount of time I have been putting into my work, which shows how hard I am trying. When I actually calculate out my GPA, it is a lot less than I would hope for it to be. This just shows me that for the duration of the rest of the semester, I really need to start doing my work at the higher level of standards that I know I can be at. At the end of the day, I am not going to be too distraught about my grades, but in the back of my mind I know that I can and NEED to do better from now on.
