One year of College down!

Goodness gracious! How is it that a full year of college can go that fast? I cant even begin to describe my thankfulness that I actually survived this first year. Cause why?

CAUSE COLLEGE IS HARD. There was not enough time to work, have a social life and study. I will say, my first semester, I put studying off to the side and it kicked me in the butt. I didn't pass my biology class, which I had to retake this spring semester, which also dropped my GPA forcing me to try to bring it up the next semester, just so I could keep my scholarship for next year. To say the least, I worked my butt off, putting the social game on the back burner, and I still don't know if it paid off. I have never put my whole mind and soul into a single prayer until finals week. I begged that I would do well and be able to keep my scholarship. With the grades I think I got, I don't know if it is enough. But all I can do is put my trust in God, and have faith that he will answer my prayers.

This first year of college taught me a few things.

1. If I want something, I'm going to have to work for it. It's not going to come easy.
2. The gospel is important and I should never make it my second priority.
3. Things happen for a reason, and the Lord answers prayers on his timetable, not mine.

I watched this little Mormon Message, and it really made me realize that I always need to trust in God in the decisions I make, or asking for help. He really does love us, and is always mindful of us. I am grateful for lessons I learned this year.
