Half-Way Reflection

1. To keep up with this course, I've had to step outside my comfort zone, something that was inevitable with the real world approaching. Moreover, I've had to work on getting assignments done earlier than I've been used to. I'm somewhat of a night owl, but since the assignments are due at the slightly inconvenient time of 9 PM, I've had to adapt my schedule.

2. The only times I've ever felt like giving up were directly related to stress imposed on me by my other classes. As a finance major, I tend to focus a little bit more of my attention on my major courses. Although the content of this course is very useful and interesting, my other upper level finance courses are geared more towards where I see myself after graduation and are a bit more rigorous. However, I've come to realize that the stress I face now is minimal compared to the stress I'll face when I start my career, and having the interpersonal skills, among others, that this class will teach me will help me to be better off and potentially ameliorate some stress down the road.

3. 3 tips I would give next semester's students would be:
    1. Get organized and put all of your assignment due dates on an iCloud calendar; this way you'll be         reminded on all devices of upcoming deadlines.
    2. Take advantage of your surroundings; if you're on campus and happen to be walking through               Turlington and have a customer interview-type assignment due, go ahead and get it done.
    3. Don't be afraid. People don't bite and awkward interviews will become easier with time.
