Before the first semester I took 6 classes and the first
weeks of college was intense I couldn’t figure how I am going to manage my time
and how I am going to have time for myself. During the time management presentation in
class I have found out that I need a plan to keep track of my homework and keep
and consistent schedule. Since I am taking 6 classes this semester I couldn’t really
spend that much time with my friends but I’ve learned that it is possible. For example
since I only have 2 classes on Mon, weds, and only one class on Friday I can do
all my homework in that time. I also
included my friends as a study group since they are taking the same classes as
me but only with different professor. Furthermore by studying together we could
ask each other questions and spend time together too. I’m my opinion by doing
this I can have a social life and get my work done at the same time. Sometimes my
friends could be distracting but usually my other friend would keep us on track
if we ever fooled around and should really being doing homework or studying. For
exams and quiz I have to study for I found out that it is better to study by chapters
that I have trouble on the most and review the ones I am strong at. For example
for my French class since I do average on structure I study the vocab. To prepare
me for the exams it helps me the most by using flashcards. In my opinion flashcards
are more helpful then looking through the textbook and trying to re-read
everything. Next semester I am only taking 3 classes which will give me more
room to study more time to have a social life and letting me have time to do
more activity on campuss.
