Hello everyone! We are officially in Spring Quarter! First off, the sun’s presence has definitely helped, especially with transitioning back into the college life after a lovely Spring break.
My Spring break was much needed after a long Winter Quarter. Aside from catching up with sleep, I visited my high school quite a few times (four times to be exact). You may be wondering, “Whitney! Why did you visit your high school so many times during the break?” Great question! I visited my previous math and social science teachers and also was on car pool duty (which I did not mind at all!) Because I want to be a high school math teacher, I enjoy seeing my old math teachers and updating them about each quarter in college.
I also went on a couple hikes and went ice skating with one of my close friends (who actually goes to UCI as well:) I also caught up with hometown friends and spent the days talking about our Winter quarters and our favorite memories. Spending quality time with family was also a great plus! Family movie nights and family dinners will always have my heart!
Here are some photos!
My specific goals for this last quarter are my time management skills with my three STEM classes and allocating sufficient time to studying for midterms and quizzes. I also want to continue going to office hours even if I do not have a specific question. I realized that office hours are a place where you can sit and listen into other peers and their questions. I also want to practice self affirmation and understand that I am truly trying my best and can pursue through the tough times.
Because it is my last year in the college dorms, I want to enjoy every moment. I want to have a couple more dinners with dormmates, continue to greet my friends in the morning and at night, and enjoy every aspect of dorm life!
As always…. # ZOTZOTZOT
