I walked around campus today in 34 degree temperatures and felt like I was on the verge of freezing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that Winter is upon us and Fall is coming to an end, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the Fall term, my last one as an undergraduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This term was difficult. I am in the accelerated masters program here at Oregon State and had my first grad course this fall, along with 10 other credits. It has been difficult to maintain a level of understanding that I was used to in my courses in years prior. Before, I was able to pretty much understand everything that was taught and even spent time learning more than what&#8217;s expected. Now, it feels like I am just trying to keep up with nearly 50% of the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that I need to get in the habit of doing is reviewing the material throughout the term instead of waiting until exams are upon me. However, it&#8217;s soooo much easier said than done. Often when I have a spare moment, I just want to relax or sleep, not sit and review material I don&#8217;t understand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it&#8217;s been a really good Fall term, and it&#8217;s a bit bitter sweet to acknowledge that it is my final Fall term as an undergraduate. Lucky for me, I will have one more year of my masters, so it&#8217;s not my final Fall term in general. All in all, it was a good one and it flew by like Fall terms always do. Let&#8217;s hope Winter term goes as smoothly and that winter break drags on \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brayden Edwards <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello y&#8217;all, Can I just say, the weather is beginning to take a turn.
