Communication

What I have noticed recently is that my communication skills are getting way better. Before college, I would be so scared go up and talk in front of people. I  would be so nervous that every time its my turn I would get anxiety or I would talk way too fast. Now as time passes I get less nervous and more comfortable talking in front of class and to new people. The past couple weeks in my communication class has really helped. I chose my communications class because it was a group discussions class so I thought that I wasn't going to have to speak in front of the class as much. Unfortunately thats not the case. I have been in front of the class at least once a week. Today, we were playing a game where we had to get our group members to say the word thats on your card without actually saying that word. The twist on the game is that we couldn't use words like um, uh, yea, you know and like. It was harder than you think. When it was my time to go up I thought I was gonna mess things up and say one of the words but I didn't. I did so good that my group made me go up about 3 more times. It made me feel great knowing that we communicated well. I noticed that I was jumping out of my shell during winter break when I hoped that my new classes didn't have people I know. If I don't know anyone in the class then I have to talk to new people and I'll make new friends.

    I also feel the same, I feel like I'm less nervous talking to new people and also talking in front of my classes and it all has to do with my communication class that I took last semester. I took group discussion and that was one of my favorite classes and every time I would go up I was more confident.

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...
