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 homework and won't be able to do it. When we meet up for our group minutes some of my group members are always in a rush to finish and leave. Its like they don't wanna be there. We live in different cities so its hard to plan meeting days. I think thats my biggest struggle this semester. Being in groups with complete strangers not knowing if they're gonna do their part of the work like their supposed to. Its different in high school because you're more likely to get someone in your group that you had class with in the 4 years. Or you're grouped with your friends.

    Yea, being in groups can sometimes be hassle, especially when its graded as a group rather than individually. Some people might not care as much so they don't put any effort in. Thats why I sometimes rather work alone with certain assignments depending on the class.

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...
