Transition

Once I started college, I noticed that everything around me changed. My schedule, study habits and life. Although, i’ve only been in college for 3 weeks I have noticed that I am becoming more of an independent person. The transition from high school to college has drastically changed the person that I am today then I once was. Now, I feel as if I have to be more responsible. Throughout high school there would always be teachers to remind you that there was homework,assignments due, and quizzes/tests. Teachers would always make sure the students had the resources that they needed to complete their assignments. Now, it is the student's responsibility to sign into blackboard and find out whether or not there were assignments or anything that is due. For most professors, they will not accept late work. So if you forget to check if you have assignments then you will not be given credit for your late work. Also, the transition from being on high school grounds to a college campus has opened my eyes on how being high school kept students dependent. When I was in highschool I would have to stay on campus from seven to eight. The school would determine what classes and teachers i would get. I would have to go from one class to another right after eachother. Everything is done for you in high school. Staff members were always there to hold you hand and guide you. Now, through college you have no one but yourself to guide you to a successful future. Students are allowed to make their own class schedule, go off of campus and explore instead of being held down in one campus.

    For me its hard because I start classes at 1:00 or at 12:30 everyday and instead of doing homework I watch shows and start my homework until 9:00 at night. I feel like it's going to take me a while to gets used to creating my own schedule for the day.

    As soon as I started college everything changed for me too. College is so different from high school. In high school I had 6 minutes to get from one class to another. Now, in college I have long breaks in between classes with nothing to do and I have to constantly check blackboard to see if any homework is due the next day.

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...
