Journal Entry #2

Hey what’s up. I’ve been feeling really happy lately, and I have to say a good part of it is because of college. I feel like focusing on college gives me something to do during quarantine, and with my flexible class schedule, enough free time to do other things as well. Of course, minus the homework part, which is not fun, but it is what is. I started watching a new series yesterday, actually I’ve seen it before, but it’s honestly my favorite. The series is called Sailor Moon, and I love it so much, it brings back so many memories from my childhood, which was when I first watched it. I also met a really interesting man yesterday, 09/12/2020, when I was biking with my sister. We talked for like two hours about his faith in God, everything God has done for him, and his supernatural experiences. Overall, I believe my encounterment with the man, was a way of God reaching out to me telling me to continue having faith and praying. I’ve always believed in God, but sometimes I felt discouraged, like I wasn’t being heard. However, meeting that man proved to me that God does listen and truly cares, It wasn’t a coincidence that in such a big world, I happened to come across such an inspiring person who would tell me to never give up on God. I love God; I hope that everyone can pursue God as well and build a connection with him, because once we do we find true purpose In this life.

First Week of College !

Hey what’s up, I’m excited to post here for the first time. I’m proud to say I successfully made it through the first and second week of college. To be honest I am not complaining, I am actually quite satisfied with my classes and teachers so far. All of my teachers have been very flexible and understanding, throughout these tough times, with the work they’ve assigned and the zoom meetings. At first, I felt anxious and stressed out about starting my first year of college online. Not only because I feared getting lost or held back with what I’m supposed to do in my classes, as it is easier learning in person, but also due to having to show myself through my camera. I’ve never liked FaceTiming because of how awkward and how trapped it makes me feel, so knowing that this college semester relies heavily on zoom meetings made me really stressed out. However, after starting classes, I am so thankful to be comforted by the fact that my teachers are very understanding and let us have the option wether to have our cameras on or off. I am also really content with my schedule because I don’t feel overwhelmed by it like I did in High School. With my college schedule, I feel free, like I have a life outside of school and my entire life isn’t focused ONLY around school. I thank God, for helping me get through my college experience so far, and I pray that the rest of this semester feels as relieving and pleasant as it has been these beginning weeks, not just for me, but for all of us. <3
