I started off my second semester of college with 16 credits and with joining a rocketry club. Which I dropped every ounce of my spare time into, especially after I was appointed to be one of the lead engineers. When I was appointed lead the spot I was going to fill in the next school year decided that he was going not to do anything anymore. So soon became a schedule of school/rocketry for 20 hours a day, and 3 hours a sleep. I wasn't really purposefully going to bed, I was passing out at 3:30 AM, onto my laptop while doing a presentation. I do not recommend. Health and Sanity are way more important. Though it did give me a nice internship offer.
I was able to donate plasma once again, and I finished the semester with making dean’s list once again, though I did not get a 4.0 this semester.
Over the summer I took a trip to New Mexico with a group of 23 other people, I went off roading in the desert with my dad for father's day after getting 2 hours of sleep. We got into El Paso at 3:30 AM MT, after driving from Dallas. The drive from Dallas was 10 hours, and pretty much encompassed a total of 2 roads. I also got a really cool Dinosaur from Ikea after landing in Dallas. Two of us in our group had never been to Ikea, as the closet one to me is roughly 5.5 hour drive and in another state. It was a week long competition filled with rockets, dealing with 100+ degree heat and 95% humidity, and shenanigans.

I preceded to work for the rest of the summer, before moving into my first apartment in August. I lived with 4 other people, and I would be okay with living with 3 of them again.
Though this fall semester was rough, I was taking 17 credits which include Organic chemistry, the 2nd calculus based physics class, and had classes from 8 am to 8 pm, five days a week. I was at a point if I got sick I was screwed, which means the 6th week of the semester I woke up feeling terrible. I felt better when I had covid in early 2020 than that 4 weeks. In December I finally finished as was really glad that I passed all my classes.
