My first year in the University: Second Semester

This is the concluding part of my first year in the University.

"I ended the first semester with a poor GPA 😓 and I concluded within me that I was carried away with too much sport and social activities but it didn't end there I was ready to fight back and do better in the second semester 😂😂. There was even more drama in the second semester 😂. Do you want to know what happened in the second semester??"

That's my last paragraph from the first part. If you haven't seen the first part, go through this link ;

The second semester finally began, I was ready to do anything to make sure I have good grades this time around.

I reduced the time I spent on social activities and tried to increase the number of hours I spent on reading but then, the effect of my first semester failure started eating me up. I started to feel bad and saw my self as not being smart or brilliant, I started feeling inferior amongst my pairs.

Gradually,I started getting into depression but only few knew about it because I always hide my problems and I would always put on a fake smile . Even those that knew about it could do little or nothing to help.

The semester went on, I was still feeling depressed all along, the first test came, I failed some of my courses again; so sad right? I began to prepare for the second test. Trust me it's not easy to study when you're depressed. I would read all night at lecture theatres. Alas when the results of the second test was out, It was my better than my first semester's results.

That was what boosted my confidence and I also did well in my exams but the damage had already been done in the first semester, I didn't meet the minimum requirements in Chemistry, but who needs chemistry when computer science (my dream course doesn't need it).

I applied to change to computer science and I was accepted. I was very happy, I'm now in the department of my dreams. Though my CGPA is low but I'm in a department where I'm happy, so I should do well.

Besides I'm no longer depressed, I'm now in a good state of mind. I'm in my second year and everything is going well.

My first year served as a lesson to me, now I know what to do and what not to do.

A lot of high school and college students are facing depression and many other challenges like being broke (.

Conclusion

In life we might be going through a lot but let's keep striving, though it's not easy but at the end of the day, we'd be fine.

I hope we all learnt something from today's article.

Have a nice time readers, till next time.

Peace ✌️
