As a freshman, I understood that the rigors of taking 18hrs credit hours of class work would be challenging. I thought I could handle the workload and I still believe that I could have, except that both my paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother become very ill while I attended Richmond. As my parents first born child, I was extremely close to my grandparents. I became emotionally distraught concerning their conditions and it began to affect my ability to focus on my studies. They each have since passed with cancer, nearly 8 months
That just affirms that music has a huge impact on the world and the people in it. My mood also changed a little during my “no music” time. I was very frustrated because every time I would go to turn on my music I would remember that it was my twenty-four hour period for no music. The day also seemed like it was so much longer than usual. At first I was so against doing it because I somewhat depend on it to get me through my long days.
It’s very hard to type a paper or study for a test when you have a nine month old that wants to get into everything. I honestly think that is one of the stressors that get to me the most so I have decided to get a babysitter when I have very important things to do like a big test or project. Another stressor I face is living with another college student and only having one computer, it’s very hard to choose who gets the computer when we both have very important things to study. This also can lead to arguing; only causing more stress. We sat down and worked out a solution we ordered a new computer, we only hope this helps us get more college work done and in a timely manner leaving us with less stress.
He brought up a good point that a lot of people wouldn't have thought of in terms of a student’s education. Now I do kind of disagree with Bruno with the fact that as the students who lag behind in high school will later lag behind in college. It's not like the students were told not to push themselves or to take the easy route, they decided to go down that road. Do homework for a hour and really make their paper great or rush it before class. A simple choice like that can make a total difference in whether they really learned something or if they cheated themselves.
Rebecca Laessig My Life as a Writer I don't consider myself to be the greatest writer. My grammar has a lot to be improved upon and I always seem to be at a loss for words. with that said, writing is a bit of a challenge for me. I don't hate writing, but I don't necessarily enjoy it either. in my paper, I will write about my accomplishments, routine writings, and major strengths and how they help develop my writing skills today.
Think back to your college years and the relentless nights spent studying and working on college assignments. The amount of work and studying combined takes an incredible amount of hours out of a student’s day. For most students, these hours impede on their sleep schedule. Seven out of 15 students hold they’re study load responsible for their inadequate amount of sleep. Although the study load required to do well in today’s academic world is vast, it is not entirely responsible for some college students’ lack of sleep.
I understand that some people feel that uniforms are a waste of time, but they can never tell anyone why. It seems as though whatever the schools try to do is always wrong. Students’ ability to get dressed in the mornings has become less and less of a hassle because they do not have to make big decisions on what to wear or what not to wear. The only decision they face is if it is hot or cold enough to wear pants, skirts, or shorts. I know that with my high school requiring school uniforms I was able to wake up an hour later for school.
Student athlete roles have always been a problem. Some people say these athletes shouldn’t even be in school because their grades aren’t high enough. Others see a more sensitive view of the topic. I experienced this topic first hand from middle school though high school and for about a week of college. I believe it really is a problem.
My future career When I finished 10th grade, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to become, or what course I wanted to take the next semester. I simply picked the electronic course because I didn’t want any more of the theoretical classes, like social studies or nature science. In short I was tired and bored of regular. I did however not regret this choice, as I’ve found that I really enjoy working with electronics, and I’m very good with it as well. Nowadays I really don’t mind going to school, but I really hated it before.
Being prepared is something that I as a person must do, because I hate the feeling of not following the rules by not doing something that is very easy to do. A very useful trait that I posses is to stay focused and on task. This would be a very good trait to have at a young age, even though so few have it, because this will help you at any time in life. For example if the teacher gives me a two page essay I can stay focused and get the assignment done on time without struggling the night before to do it. Another way this skill benefits me is when it comes time for tests.
