“Well, this is my first semester here, so it was really different from coming, like, into high school having to go, like, every single day, compared to my schedule now, it’s going only, like, for two classes on campus. The rest were online … so that was kind of hard. I had to balance my time better, ’cause you have so much free time doing whatever you wanted, but over the semester, I learned to balance my time a lot better.”

Mass communication freshman
“I think it’s a lot more stressful [than] it was at the beginning, but it’s OK, like, it’s doable. I’m not too worried about any of the finals, because a lot of my classes are … spaced out to have a lot of time and I think to, like, get through the semester, it’s a lot of time management. … Other than that, I really liked the university, and I think this end of the semester is going to go good.”

“That it’s looming. It’s coming up and the finals are coming up. I’m nervous. We’re trying to get those B’s into A’s.”
