The first semester I had was smooth, but the second one did not go according to anyone’s plan due to Covid-19. Besides the difficult classes and the global pandemic, I think I am doing alright with working toward my goals in the letter to my senior self.
When it comes to community, I have found someone to who I can say “hi” and whatnot. He will be my roommate for my sophomore year, and I am so glad I am not dealing with someone I dislike as a roommate. While in Longwood, I was looking at some clubs, but I am overburdened with work, and the pandemic has removed me from the campus. Progress on meeting a group of people will have to wait until another time.
As for service, I was hoping to find a group I could become a part of to involve myself in, but now in-person contact is forbidden for the most part unless it is necessary to get something done. As of this moment, this goal is a little hard to achieve. The only thing of note that may attribute to the pillar of service is the fact that my major has made me do a lot of group work.
The pillar of scholarship is going quite well due to the lack of contact with people. Since I cannot do much else, I study and aim for good grades. I so far have been on the Dean’s List twice now, especially after this last semester, which is pretty nice. I still have not figured out what I want to be; then again, I would not expect myself to know what I want yet.
