Mid-Semester Reflection

My study habits are not where I want them to be. I usually spend about a hour or two studying for each class just so I can make sure that I understand what is going on right in each class. I also am not a good test taker, so no matter how hard I study my test taking skills are not good. I study in the library because it is very silent and I get very distracted in my room because I have the TV and everything else. I am most focused at night shockingly because I can’t study too well during the day its just too much going on during the day for me to focus. 

I haven’t tried new study techniques because I haven’t found any good techniques that I want to try out. I think for every class except math, that taking notes and reviewing my notes everyday works best for me because I usually remember what I write down and it stays in my brain. For math, I just do all the questions and make sure that I am doing it right and that is how I study for math, but every other class is the same.

College has been what I was expecting and honestly it hasn’t been too bad. Despite Covid, I have been able to connect with a lot of new people while being socially distanced and staying safe. I know a lot of people who have not been following the rules but they are suffering the consequences. But college has been a lot of fun and do not want to go home. There was nothing that I was really surprised about because the only thing different about campus right now is the socially distance. My favorite thing about campus is the library it is so pretty. The most challenging thing is making sure that I am on top of all my classes. 

One problem in campus is probably that not everything that we could do when Covid was not here but I am adjusting to it and honestly I like it like this. My roommate has helped me so much with adjusting to college life because we are going through it together and can help each other when we are struggling. I want to play club lacrosse next semester because lacrosse is one of my passions and can’t live without playing even just for club and not the actual team. I couldn’t be able to handle being a nursing major and playing a sport for a D1 school. It would stress me out way too much.
