Week 5 Prompt: Final Reflection

All right--so you've been a college student for five whole weeks. What has surprised you? How have you handled the challenges? The stresses? The added responsibility of feeding yourself, doing your own laundry, and getting to bed at a decent hour? Have you found out anything new about yourself, or learned any valuable lessons? What about your study habits--have they held up under the pressure, or have you had to ramp up the intensity of the work you do for school? Use this time to reflect, breathe for a moment, and perhaps find some relief in taking a step back and looking at the big picture of your initial experiences as a college student. Please do so in about 300 words.
