Spring Break is finally here! That also means a small helping of homework from a couple of my classes. Studying, annotated bibliographies, research projects, and essays. Yippee. I'm glad to be back at home but I really miss my clean bathroom at my dorm.
The spring semester is half way through and I've already started preparing for the fall semester. I've already completed my FAFSA, I've completed my priority room assignment applications, and I'm in the process of registering for summer classes at my local community college. I plan to take my core math classes required for my major. A tip for all future and current college students, summer classes are much easier because they are shorter.
Just don't take more than two per summer term. Try taking classes you are not particularly fond of or are more expensive in your university at a community college instead. I also thinking about taking what they call winter classes. I've recently discovered that my local community college also offer classes during winter break while most universities are suppose to be closed down. Also if you can, don't forget to try testing out of core classes that are required for you to graduate like computer science. I think I've mentioned that before but it doesn't hurt to reiterate. I love college life because it makes me feel independent. I believe everyone should have a chance and try it at least once. ;p
Okay I admit, I am not an avid regular blogger as I should be. But I try. When I started this blog I was hoping that maybe, just maybe it would help my creative juices flow and be a helpful outlet for my stress and anxiety so as to further my academic success. Unfortunately, its not doing much good since I am not dedicating myself to this wonderfully free writing project.
I can feel my grades starting to slip and it terrifies me a little bit. I don't want to lose my financial aid and I don't want to drop out. I despise being told what to do and studying is at the top of my list. I used to love studying but I stopped in high school because I was tired of being labeled a nerd. Maybe if I had a little more courage to stand up to peer pressure then I would have been able to push myself far enough to reach valedictorian status?
I want to do better in college, I desperately do but it feels like I have to relearn how to study. How does one study exactly? Maybe I should make flash cards or something? There are so many distractions in my life. Television, internet, music, novels, friends, family, my love life, school activities, and most of all procrastination. Managing procrastination is the hardest part. I'm always texting on my cell phone, eating, sleeping, cleaning my room, washing my clothes, or making idle chatter. I'll have to work on that during Spring Break.
