Hi, My name is Gregory Wadley. If you're here, you've likely found your way from our software engineering page, and into my very first blog post on the subject.

I will do my best to keep this blog interesting, and to provide insight, commentary, and information on my journey through this class.

At this point, the only thing of substance i have done for the class is the reading of two papers. One on college advice, the other on college happiness. I felt both presented some very interesting points, and myself a senior, sat wishing i had read them the fall of my first year.

Meeting and developing relationships with faculty is something I have largely ignored throughout my college career, and only now see how valuable it could have been. Taking a better mixture of classes would have also improved my quality of life here, I believe. My mentality, as described in these papers was to get as many tough courses "out of the way" as I could early on. This ended up brining me quite a bit of stress, and taking its toll on my GPA.

Unfortunately, many other readers I'm sure are in my position. Reading this blog post, thinking of how they could have better spent their 4 years. I would urge those of you to make the effort to make your time here as valuable as possible. Weather thats 2 years or 1 semester, don't let yourself be burdened by things you could have done better, and make the most of the time you have left here. I know I will.
