A new semester, while in college, is a fresh beginning. All the things that happened in the past
semester are gone and there is no going back to change the past. Some of the people that you had met have gone
on to new adventures and some are still there.
Some professors are familiar and some are new. This gives one an opportunity to build upon
past relationships and begin new ones.
It is also time to mend a relationship that went bad. It is a fresh beginning.
All of the scores and the things that went well or
did not go well in the last semester are still with you. They are there to learn from and reflect
upon. One can look at these things and
continue with what they did if satisfied or one can look on them and change
some things to accomplish their goals.
For example, if you did not earn the grades that you wanted there is a
chance to reflect and see what you could have done different to change the
outcome. While you cannot go back and
change the results of last semester there are other options. One can retake the class and earn a better
grade or one can accept the grade and learn from the self-reflection on what
needs to be done to earn better grades.
It is a fresh beginning and the choices are there to make. The mistakes or successes of the past are
there to help guide the fresh beginning.
This is also a time of reflecting on what one really
wants to do with their life. They can
decide if the major that was chosen was what they want to do or not. It is a time to change the road that they are
on and to explore other avenues. New
classes abound and there are multiple number of roads that one can take. One is not stuck in what they chose to do the
last semester. The new semester allows
one to go down a different road and explore various options. What you chose last year or last semester is
not all defining and the new semester gives you the keys to unlock the gate to
new roads that you want to explore. It
is a fresh beginning.
The past is still there and it what was done may not
be changed, however it is still there to learn from and grow. With the fresh beginning of the new semester,
the keys are in ones hand to choose which road to take, with whom they want to
take it and how they will traverse the road ahead. It is an exciting and exhilarating time for
college students. For one is not defined
by their past per se, the keys to new endeavors are in everyone’s hand with the
new semester. It is a time of fresh
beginnings.
