This semester has been the most different one out of my college career. I say that because my classes haven't been that time consuming so I've had a lot of free time. The reason why my classes have been less time consuming is also because I haven't been attending all of them. This is because most of them besides this class don't require attendance. That leads to the one thing I should improve on next semester which is to attend all my classes. Especially because I'm going to be in the upper level and I know my classes are going to be tough. In terms of my accomplishments I have gotten more serious when It comes to school lately. I know that I am going to have to buckle down a bit next semester and focus on school a lot more. I have also done a good job In my studying. Even though I didn't attend all of my classes I have scored fairly well on my exams. This was because I started studying a lot longer and earlier than I've had in the past. Another accomplishment I have had this semester was achieving more leadership roles within my fraternity. I have been working hard with more responsibilities this has helped me be more organized in terms of school and my life.

The hot box cookies presentation as well as the upper level ambassadors presentation was very insightful and I learned a lot from both of them. I have always wanted to have my own company one day and that is one of the reasons I'm in the school of business. I just don't have any ideas as to what I'm going to do yet. But when I do I now kind of know the process I have to go through in order to do so. He was very detailed as to the important steps in the process of owning a business and that could help me in the future. What stood out to me the most was the fact that he had to go through more than one business partner during his process of owning a company. When I do start a company I would want to have a business partner but I just hope I don't have to go through more than one especially if they are my good friends. From the upper level ambassadors, I learned a lot about what to expect next year when I get into the upper level business program. I learned things like getting to know your professor in order to help do better in the class as well as what kind of classes I'm going to have to take as a finance major.
