Trust the process


In the last couple blogs, I talked about my mixed feelings, regrets, doubts and struggles with college. In this blog I will be talking about how much I changed between these last couple blogs. First, I decided that I should focus more on school and less on people. Recently, I decided to cut off some people who aren't going to help me grow as a person. What I mean by that are the people that hold me back, such as friends who don't really care about their education or their jobs. I'm not going to completely cut them off, i'm still gonna say hi or bye to them when i see them but i'm not going to make the effort to hangout with them. I am going to surround myself with people who are focused on their education so we can help eachother grow as students. Second, I am going to start asking people for help. I'm a shy person so i don't usually talk to anyone in my class unless I have to or I already know them. I am going to try my best to study with friends and do study groups. Before I used to be scared to ask people for help because I didn’t want to look stupid or I just didn't want to bother them. Now I will do my best to interact with people because it can help my grades. Lastly, i'm am going to use more of my free time to find out new ways to study and be better at planning. The last few weeks I have been going to starbucks to study because my house is a distraction but at the same time I need to be around people so starbucks is the best option. On thursday it took me 4 hours or more to finish all my quizzes for my sociology class but on the bright side it's not due until over another week. That gives me more time to study for my classes. The last few weeks has been tough but I think this mindset will help me become a better student. I just need to step back and take a breather cause eventually things will fall into place. I need to trust the process.

    I feel like studying outside of your house is better since you feel like you have to do something unlike at home where you can put netflix on your laptop get snacks and waste time

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...
