At the beginning of the year it was difficult to get used to the new style of school. College is very different from high school and so are the classroom settings and schedules. It was harder to transition than I had anticipated, so that was a little surprising and stressful. As the year went on it got easier and a little less overwhelming. In my opinion, it was overwhelming to have every assignment told to you from day one and you think how am I going to get all of this done. That is part of the transition to college, but it was different than what we were used to. While the days passed by, in the end I realized it really wasn't even that bad or stressful than I made it out to be. Continuing out through the year it started to feel normal. I really enjoyed the final documentary project. It didn't feel like a final because it was amusing and about a topic that I am very passionate about. Although I changed my topic last minute, it caused a little extra work to make up for all of the sources and work we had already done throughout the semester, but it was worth it. I was starting to get tired of talking about my sorority and having almost the same presentation as multiple people in the class. I wanted something different and more unique but still fascinating to the majority of people. I like how this final project let us use our creativity to make a documentary about anything we chose.
All in all, despite a little bit of a rough start, I have really enjoyed being in this class. It made me grow as a student and become accustomed to a new way of learning. This class also made me aware of many issues in society and locally. It was very eye-opening.
