Yellow

To start out with a weird analogy that also ties into my title; if every student here at fisher was red, I am striving to be that yellow fish. In a good way, something that’s beneficial, and not for negative connotations. I just took a life/death test for my major. If I don’t pass, odds are I’m not sure I can pursue any farther. It’s imperative to have a good GPA, especially the one that only counts towards your declared subject of interest. I did not take this lightly, and made studying my number one priority. I set an average goal to reach, and hopefully I met it.
St. John Fisher just had its first “official day off”, because I’ve taken a couple personal ones myself. For the long weekend, I went home along with a majority of campus. Your first instinct is to throw everything in a pile and return to it Sunday night. This case was different. I had to think of what was important and make school a priority; I studied for my exam. To make this a broader case, it’s easy to get caught up in the social aspect of school. Not wanting to miss out on anything. Always trying to meet with friends and make everyone happy. But what’s the main reason you come to college? To have a bright future and know you earned it. They say education and your house are the two major investments you will encounter. It’s hard to sit back and watch all the money you’re paying turn to waste over that one night.

You can always go out with friends and have a good time.
You can’t always study for that test that will eventually be over.
