Coming from a household with strict parents, I suddenly found myself with so much freedom when I got to university. It was overwhelming, and I wanted to do everything! I did not prioritize my school work and adjusting to college life was very hard for me. To add another layer of stress, I was constantly worrying about finances and my grades reflected the bad lifestyle I created during freshman year. It was hard but I would not change anything about my experience because it taught me so much about myself: resilience and responsibility. The important thing is to learn from my past and that's what I'm doing.
