This 2 year period where I took the liberal arts degree, I have changed a lot. The first thing is to get me readjusted with the medication and to find out that I have ADHD and that was the core to my problem, while the next thing is to have a very wide and broad view of the world around me so I can make choices in the adult world. I changed a lot in the last few years and it seems like what I was like when I come into college was a lot different than I came out of college.
In high school, I remained the same. It looks like I haven't really had a chance to explore and find myself, unless I had a pretty good definition of who I am anyway. But it seems like I when I got into college, things seemed to changed. My college life might be my true adolescene - high school might as well be a continuation of elementary and middle school. It looked like I was not as interested in driving, getting a job, and partaking a lot of responsibilities as I am in college.
But this apartment life seemed to changed me and it seems like I learned a lot about the world around me in the last 3 years and I am starting to come out as a full blown individual. The liberal arts degree I was taking was not a waste and it started to make me a better person. Actually, it did not make me more liberal; actually it made me more conservative. I was starting to find out who I am and I was starting to get a better view of society, which seems to be on the more conservative platform.
But now when I start getting things figured out, I should go on the next step and try to get that job that I never had got in high school.
The liberal arts degree goes through many disclipines of study and I have went through almost all the disclipines of study. The first semester I went through the sociology and psychology - I was starting to have a better understanding of people and the world around me. I was starting to realize what is truly going on in this world and starting to get my beliefs straight. By the end of this semester, my social skills and moral has improved widely. The second semester was not a growth semester as much of the first semester, but I did take a history class to learn about the world in the past and more psychology to improve myself. It seems like I was a better individual by the end of the semester but I still needed work. I started to get more open minded about music and my music choices started to get more broad and mature.
The third semester was a tough one and there was a lot of crunch in that semester - but I was starting to narrow things down into a more defined package. Human biology gave me a better understanding on how my body works and the logic degree just made me more logical, while sociology of the family expanded on my knowledge and curiosity on my goals of having a family. It looks like a more well defined individual - the moral semester was the third semester.
The fourth semester is my exposure to the more diverse world and I am taking classes such as abnormal psychology and natural diasters, along with intro to massage. The human development course is starting to find out what people should be doing at each age.
It seems like that throughout this last 2 years, I was starting to have many things more defined. It looks like family values and a love for children is a trait that I am discovering, along with more compassion and better understanding of people than I ever had before. I also developed a more open mind about music and my other things.
But I still have a lot too learn - it looked like the last few years I have scrubbed and polished my social skills and my awareness of others, and it seems like it applies when I go to the apartment. Now it looks like I am ready to date and do many other things that requires higher social awareness than I used to be. Summer 2011 was a very tough summer for me and I went through this summer - it was a summer of confusion, but it seems like things are starting to get put together.
But after this liberal arts journey - I should go into the next step. Now it is time for me to show the world what I got and to find out my role in society. In other words, a job will be a good idea for me to have.
My favorite semester will be the first semester and the current semester. The first semester is where I was starting to blossom and to find out who I am, what I am, and where do I stand. It was time for me to develop some social skills and some beliefs. This semester it looks like everything is starting to be put together and I am just tying up the lose ends. It looks like things are going to be good when I start going to more college and start preparing for my future. I did not have the frat life - sort of, but it was a good time of growing up.
