14A Halfway Reflection

One of the most important things that I have been able to maintain throughout the semester for this course is to stay consistent with respect to my assignments and what time/day I complete them. I will admit, the past 2 weeks I may have strayed away from my schedule with this course, but that is only because I am being flooded with exams and most of my time is spent studying. But overall, sticking to my planned schedule that I Plan ahead in my planner is a crucial behavior I have used to be able to keep up in this course.

            Not everything in life is going to go smoothly or just exactly how you would expect it to go. There are inevitably going to be obstacles to encounter, some worse than others. What pulls me through when I feel like giving up is thinking to myself “it’s a part of the process, and it will be worth it.” In my opinion, the more hardships one has, the stronger and more determined they become. As well as feeling more gratitude and success once they have accomplished whatever it was they were striving for.

            Three tips I would recommend:

1.     Don’t procrastinate. Stay on top of your assignments. Set a doable and realistic schedule for yourself, and make sure it is one you can actually follow

2.     Watch and actually pay attention to the lectures. Not only will they guarantee a full point on the cupcakes, but they are also crucial to learning about business strategies and entrepreneurship.

3.     Invest your time in an idea that you find interesting and appealing. Pick/come up with something that solves a problem you yourself have encountered or still encounter and want to solve. This will only add spark and passion to your process and make it that much more fun.
