I can't believe the fall semester is over already! Time does go by very fast! The first semester at UMASS Dartmouth has been exciting for me. It was the first time I had been away from home alone for a long time. However, I can’t wait for the opportunity and experience that awaited me. I started off my school year volunteering at Mass Audubon's Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary with some friends. It feels nice to explore outside the campus and they taught us all the animals and birds that live around here. It was challenging to adapt to college life but I have learned how to manage my time according to and complete assignments on time. There are some exciting courses I truly enjoy. For instance the Anatomy and Physiology course! Even though that class is tough but I have tried my best and used all the resources the campus provides to help me to study. I was fascinated by all the structures of the body and their function. So far in that class, we have learned about the nervous system, skeleton, types of tissues, and many more! This semester I also took Psychology, Math, English, and Nursing classes!
