Life as freshman in Southeastern

My initial days in Southeastern was a total mess. I didn't know anything, i was like a child lost in the city. I didn't know where to go to register the class, what to bring and what not to. Whom to ask for help. But the orientation program helped me a lot. I met many people and i tried to solve the problem faced by together. Slowly but steadily i got in contact with the professor of my class, they helped me a lot.

Then i took SE 101 class. At first i thought since it wasn't gonna help in my major, it's just a waste of time but soon i realized i was wrong. Joining the SE 101 class helped me built my weaker points stronger. I got confident in many of the problem. I got information that i needed with the class lectures. I found the overall function of the Southeastern itself and i knew where to go when i got a problem. I met the adviser and he told me what to plan next for my semester and i think it was such a great help cause i knew i was weak at making plans.

Taking SE 101 class made me realized that always studying is not a good thing, communicating with other, interacting to new faces is must as you gain experience and in the same time you will have fun in the class as well. There were many programs in the Southeastern which i didn't know.

Talking about my grades, well grade didn't go i had wanted to but with the help of SE 101 class i found many alternatives to face the problem. Making academic plans, semester plans, steps to study, maintaining time for when to study and when to work, evaluating your marks time to time to check where you stand now. At first, i got only C's and B's in every subject then my adviser advised my solution and following those steps i gradually increased my grade. Now i have A's in three subjects and B's in next three subject which was already awesome for me as i am striking for 3.5+ grade and now i think i can achieve that goal if i just improve more than this.

Overall, my days as freshman was like a adventure where you bump into new problems and resolve them slowly and gain new experience and knowledge. I hope the coming new freshman wouldn't have to face problems like i did but even if they did then don't worry cause Southeastern staffs and facilities will help you in all our steps.
