College Lesson Time.. Again

I'm writing in really big (well, bigger) font today, because I feel as though this lesson is more important than any of the others. College exams are hard. College exams with a professor you've never had before are even harder. Study your butt off, and sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. But, do you give up? No! You try harder the next time. 


I was on the phone with my mom last night (love her to death) and she asked how my exam went Friday. It was okay! I had just gotten the scores back and I did alright. I could have done better, but I could have done FAR worse. 


"Isn't that your major?" was her first response.. after a moment of silence I was able to come up with the words, "Yes mom, but it's my major. It's something I enjoy and I want to study, not something I'm an expert on. I'm allowed to have room for improvement."


So, here's the lesson (I hope you picked up on the first one... part of it was bold):

If you don't get a perfect score in a major-related course, don't freak out. It's not your major because you know everything, it's your major because you're learning. You're in college to learn, so keep your chin up and smile. :D but if you really don't want to smile, you can hide behind a giant piece of fake coral...... 


Also, I lied. There's never more coming on that picture. Love always!! --H
