This semester is my first at Oxnard College, well, college in general. Personally my biggest challenge is getting up to go to school. Not having a California drivers license gets in the way most of the time but the purchase of a new bike shortened my trip by more than half, which means I can wake up even later. The workload is honestly not hard, most of the homework is mapped out for me and there is not much class work in general. I have learned that my light schedule was a complete mistake. There are often times I find myself with nothing to do. The one thing that I would gladly tell anyone is that online classes are a big mistake for people like me who are hardly home. In the end the pay-off is worth all the work. The time spent slaving to finish assignments and study for tests strengthens your knowledge and betters your life. To stay motivated I remember that it's all worth it in the end and even though I will still have another college to go to after I get out of here I need to do this for me.
