As time continues to progress the school semester seems close to its end. With the nature of SUNY Geneseo, work only gets more intense with the stress of finals week approaching. Every day I find myself reading a text or solving problems, which are meant to prepare me for that final day. Other than academics, there are also many adjustments that have been made from day one to present. For example, in the beginning of the school year many things that were not prioritized have become essential. You can’t even imagine how important rest has been, not only for me but most of the students on campus. Another priority is the importance of self-care and making sure that the idea of college doesn’t become too overwhelming. With all of this in mind, my excitement to finish fall semester is growing.
Weather has also been a major adjustment in Suny Geneseo. In August I would have never expected to see snow or such low temperatures around this time of year. Going from hoodies to heavy winter coats in the beginning of November wasn’t something I was accustomed to. A positive from this, however, would be the scenery. As I watch the snow pile up and cover the trees the sight is breathtaking, and it is something that I would have never experienced if I didn’t attend this school. With this in mind I have realized that I have enjoyed my first semester and can not wait to begin the next. –Kalel
