Worst Semester Yet

It's been a rough 4 months here in Uni. My 1st semester of my 2nd year has left me slightly traumatized and a little sad. Although I had 5 subjects, most of them were cores and they weren't the ones I fancy. I had Biopsychology and Social Psychology (which are my weakest subjects) and then there was the devil's incarnate, Advanced Quantitative Methods 1. I tried my hardest to cope and for a minute I really thought that I was doing alright. Then a few days ago, assignment results started to be released and that's when my self-doubt reached a whole new level. Throughout this degree I've prided myself in the results I've gotten. I'm no 4.0 GPA student but I'm trying to maintain at least a 3.75 for my Year 2 subjects. So far I've been doing okay in my assignments, always got the results I estimated but this semester has brought me to an all time low and I'm afraid this will carry on through my future semesters.

I know I shouldn't beat myself up about this and I should just move on and think positively but it just sucks to see that sometimes your best just isn't good enough. I will definitely try harder in the future because this was sort of a wake up call of sorts. Thankfully my cumulative marks aren't doing so terribly but assignments do carry alot of weightage and every mark I can get counts. This is definitely a lesson learnt. Never underestimate how hard a semester can be. I do have a few regrets this semester such as not attending some classes and being absent minded in others. This degree is no joke and one slip up could cost me my future. Looks like I know what my new years resolutions are going to be. Will probably do a post on that as well and hopefully some makeup reviews during my semester break. I do have some new products that I've bought as well as skincare that I'm trying out.

Anyway on a more cheerful note, I can't wait for finals to be over. I only have 2 papers left and right after I'll be going for a Christmas party! :) Then, next week I'll be home on my little island with my parents, dog and boyfriend all of which I miss dearly (also, all the food I'm about to eat... better hit the gym after). See yall on the other side! Have a great week ahead and good luck Christmas shopping! Au Revoir <3
