When I first
started college I had high hopes for myself based on getting work done and
being able to get good grades. Then once school started I realized that I anticipated
little work, and a lot of time, when actually it’s a lot of work and a little bit
of time. I think that was the hardest thing getting used too. Once I was
adjusted to school and the work load I was able to get a better control on all
of my homework. Now that it’s midterms, looking back I realize that I didn’t
really accomplish all of my set goals, but I did accomplish a good amount of
them. My successes would have to be just being able to get the work done, no
matter what. You have to set your time based on how well you’re going to get it
done. I used to just do my homework the day before it was due, but I ran into
some difficulties with that because there were always other things that I wanted
to be doing than homework. Sometimes, I did pick anything except homework and
other nights I would stay in my room and get my work done. Now that it’s
midterms I started doing my homework in advance. When I go home on the
weekends, I always try to do my blog assignment early, and whatever homework I’d
have due the next Monday morning I would get done too so that I wouldn’t have
to take any homework home with me. I started realizing that I learned the
material more when I would do the homework early and then study it more a
couple days before it was due. The tests became easier to take, and the
material became easier to understand. When midterms are over I do plan on still
doing my homework in advance because it really helps me. But, I’m also going to
work on studying quite a bit more and putting more effort into that.
