Happy New Year!!! Last semester was the first semester for me to enter the university life, which ended in the tense and complicated study. The most important thing I learned last semester was not learning a certain course. Although the courses in university were much more difficult than those in high school, I quickly adapted to them. I think the most important thing I learned in school was to get along with people. I’ve lived at home since I went to school, and although I have a lot of friends at school, I’ve never lived with any of them for a long time. However, because my home is far from the school, I choose to live on campus. One of my roommates is my good friend, we hang out together, dance together and go shopping together. But my other two roommates didn’t get along very well with us. Our body clocks were different. My friend roommate and I usually go to bed between 2am and 3am, while my other two roommates go to bed at 10pm. The different living habits caused quite a bit of trouble, because we left the light on when we were awake and they felt it interfered with their sleep.
Winter Quarter is a brand new semester. I hope we can live in peace in our dormitory. Only a peaceful dormitory can bring us warmth like home. In terms of study, I hope I can work harder to improve my GPA. Due to some negligence in last semester, my GPA is not high now. But I believe that through my efforts, I can bring my GPA back to the score I expect. I took 5 classes this semester because I didn’t have AP credits in high school, so I had to catch up by studying a little bit more than the others each quarter.
During the winter break, me and my friends drove to the Palm Springs to relax and soak in the hot springs; I also went to ski in Big Bear Lake with my friends. I thought I would have no chance to ski in California, because I thought it was very hot in California. However, my friend invited us to ski in Big Bear Lake. The next day we drove to Big Bear Lake. I like skiing very much, because I feel I can forget all the troubles when skiing. Winter break is over, which means the new semester has begun. Come on, everyone! Welcome the new quarter.
