Library/Study rooms

The library and its study rooms turned into my safe space during the semester, allowing me to
push through the challenges of studying. With noisy halls and crowded classrooms, these settings
offered peace and concentration, allowing me to get back into my studies undisturbed. The study
rooms became my second home for productivity and concentration because of their relaxing
environment and atmosphere. I could focus on my studies, participate in group discussions, or
just take my time thinking through challenging subjects.
Communication

Throughout the semester, I found that having effective communication with my professors was
important to my academic success. Staying in constant communication with my professors
helped me gain a deeper understanding of the material, from answering questions about
assignments to providing additional information on course material. My professors were
welcoming and open to answering any questions I had, whether we spoke by email or in person
during office hours.
Advisor meetings

My nursing advisor has been a great help throughout my semester, constantly providing constant
guidance and assistance. They made sure I felt confident and informed about my future
courses by being available to answer any questions or concerns I had. My advisor also went
above and beyond to help me with the registration process when it came time for the upcoming
semester. They helped me organize my schedule and gave me information about courses that
were available, which was very helpful in making sure that the courses I enrolled in coincided
with my degree works.
GYM

This semester, there was some consistency in the gym. Exercise is something I have always
enjoyed, but I usually stop when school starts. This semester, I set a goal for myself to attempt to
go to the gym three times a week or more if possible. For me the gym has been the best for my
mental health. As I get closer to applying to the nursing program my stress levels increase
tremendously, the gym has really helped me when I was feeling overwhelmed, giving me some
peace of mind.
