Thoughts about my college semester as a sophomore🥲
I went through a lot during my freshmen year of college. Lost my scholarship, my gpa kinda got better after I got off of academic probation and I’ve tried so hard during the fall term of last year during my sophomore semester to get back up and somehow this semester for the spring went by so quick!
