For each class that I feel the need to study for, I spend about 2 hours average. Some of my classes however, such as dance, I don\u2019t feel the need to spend as much time on when I could be studying\/working on other assignments. I do need to put more time in. My chemistry, sociology, and history classes require the most attention, but I don\u2019t pay as much attention as I should. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mostly study at my job. I work at an office upstairs in Constant Hall and I have full access to the computers and its quiet, so I like studying up there. If I\u2019m not working, I\u2019ll study in my room. I don\u2019t get distracted if I\u2019m at work studying because there\u2019s nothing to distract me but if I\u2019m in my room I get distracted by my roommates, phone, TV, etc. I could remove these by turning off my phone and TV or just go in the study room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The times of day I like to study are between 2-5 and 8-10pm. Those are my \u201cfree times\u201d. I feel alert from 8-10pm because I\u2019m more of a night person, I don\u2019t like doing things in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The techniques I use are writing info on flashcards and studying them and reading info, and then writing it down in multiple different handwritings (weird but it helps). These are the same from class to class unless I\u2019m learning chemistry because that sometimes includes math. I tried study groups, but it didn\u2019t help me. I must learn on my own or I won\u2019t learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
College in ways has and hasn\u2019t been what I expected. I expected to have a lot of work and miss my family, but I didn\u2019t expect to be lonely and gain so much weight already. I am surprised that I have made so many friends because I\u2019m not good at making friends. My toughest challenge has been doing my laundry and chores in general. Its funny because I did all that stuff at home and in the apartment I lived in over the summer but when nobody is breathing down your neck to do it, you just forget about it or don\u2019t care. The easiest challenge to overcome is going to classes, I thought I would want to skip but I don\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One challenge I have faced was fighting with my roommate. We\u2019re friends from home and we had a fight and didn\u2019t speak for almost 2 days. I didn\u2019t really use any resources on campus to fix it, but I could have consulted my RA. The person who has helped me the most has been Jacob. He told me how to handle classes, professors, bad decisions, peer pressure, help with my major. Just the little things that make a big difference. I haven\u2019t attended any meetings for clubs, but I did sign up for the Homecoming Committee, it seemed fun and interesting. Also I was on the homecoming committee in high school and I enjoyed it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
