Commuting


The biggest problem I have with college is commuting. During my senior year of high school, I would wake up at 8:30 to get ready for school. I didn’t have a first period. Now, during college I have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning. Ever since I was younger I would always be grumpy if I didn't get a good amount of sleep. Also, another problem that I have with commuting is not knowing whether or not there’s gonna be traffic. On tuesday, I have a 6pm class. That means traffic everywhere. I have to leave over an hour early when it usually only takes me 15 minutes to get into town. Most of the traffic is because people slow down for no reason. There's no accident. Another thing is I don’t like driving back and forth between my breaks so I chose to stay on campus all day so I don't waste gas. That means on mondays and wednesdays i'm on campus for about 12 hours. Although being on campus for so many hours a day get tiring it also has its advantages. The last problem I have with commuting is having to find a parking space. The fact that this such a big school is that sometimes if you don't come early, then you're stuck in more traffic in the parking lots because other students who are trying to find a parking spot last minute. One time it took me and my friend almost 20 minutes to find a parking spot in front of the science building.

    I hate those people in front of me that slow down for no reason I almost hit a guy today going 65 on the fast lane pushing the break for no reason. For parking just park in the back there's always parking lot 6 if your going to bill and bizzini and lot 8 if you go to science building no struggling to find parking just a little more of a walk

    I agree, college is great and all but man the commute is no joke, i've always been an early riser so waking up early is not the issue its the fact that I drive 1 hour to turlock and 1 hour back by myself and it gets boring just looking a trailers on the freeway, not to mention how much gas I waste.

Studying

In this blog, I will be writing about studying. Throughout high school, I would hardly ever study. If i studied for tests, I would notice that my grades would be worse than the times that i didn’t study. So that’s why I would hardly every study. Now, in college it's so much different. I study so much but somehow it seems to not work. I’m a morning person so I tend to study in the morning. I'm more productive in the morning and as the day goes on get lazier and lazier. Recently, i’ve noticed that my psychology grade is dropping. I don’t know what to do. I take notes in the class and study. I for that class more than any other class. Now it’s stressing me out because I don’t know how to pick up my grade. I also study with my friends so i don't know what else to do. Psychology seems to be the only class that i am having a really hard time. In my entire life I don't think i have struggled this hard before. My professor puts up study guides and I spend hours and hours doin...

1st semester.....

As the semester is coming closer to an end, I have sort of been getting the hang of school now. Recently I've been trying to focus more on school so I can have a distraction because if I don't have a distraction I start feeling sad. These mood swings have been causing me to want to get my act straight and focus more on my education and less about relationship and other things that are unnecessary at the moment. I feel like my happiness and education should come first. Today I have finished four assignments including this one. I like being kept busy. Unfortunately if I work on too much I start getting anxiety because my brain cannot process so much information from so many subjects at the same time anymore. To kill more time and to keep me even more busy I am planning to start going to the gym again and keep it up. I think the gym will help me take things off of my mind and i'll also get healthier which is a bonus. Hopefully i'll stop feeling this way soon because i jus...

Struggles of being in groups

In one of my classes my professor put us into groups with other students that they think we will work good with. We've had the same group since the beginning of the semester. The first project went well. I wasn't worried about whether or not we would finish it on time. We communicated very well and aced the project and presentation. Unfortunately I feel like our communication has gone down the drain for this new project. Our project is due Friday and we still have to finish our ten page research essay, powerpoint, printing out all the pages and putting it into our book and preparing for our presentation thats on Monday. Im nervous because theres so much to do and I don't know if we'll be able to finish it on time. I try to be the one to remind them without being THAT person who bothers everyone but its a group grade so if they fail then I fail. I can't let that happen. Every-time I talk to my group members they either don't listen or say that they have other hom...
