5 Things College has taught me about Myself

We have all had these moments

5 Things College has taught me about Myself

So I have been in college for 3 years now, currently in my Senior year. Every day I promise you is a learning experience that I am never prepared for. Learning and growing is always the key to success so I take my downfalls very well. As a college student, I'm sure some of you can relate to my struggles. I love when you can because it makes me feel like I'm not alone. If you have these same attributes let's bond on them. There is strength in numbers.

1) I am a weird introvert, extrovert, Type A person

I am a creature of habit. I truly do not like surprises during the college day. I really am on the move and I don't have to time to play. Now that I have described 75% of me let's talk about this other 25. This smaller section is me wanting to be in the mix and out and about. Sometimes I want to be sitting in the dome with my other colleagues and people watching. It all depends on the day and whether it's hot outside.

2) I Hate slow walkers with a true passion

When I'm on the way to class in an 11000-degree heat, I would like not to get there in head to toe sweat. I walk like I drive, The sidewalks are mine and if you are going to slow I will pass you and not feel bad. I truly dislike the people who walk slowly around classroom areas and know people are rushing. This sounds kind of self-absorbed but I guarantee you I can find a college student everywhere that feels the same way.

3) I refuse to pay for a class and be quiet the whole time.

Do you actually look at the bill that gets issued for a college education? This increasing pain in my butt is for me to take my classes and be engaged in them. I understand if you're more on the shy side because speaking in class is a lot. But if you come to class and just sit there on your phone BE ASHAMED!! Your paying average 100 dollars per class session and you don't pay attention? You have to be kidding me!! I speak even when I don't feel my answer is correct. If is a little intimidating but at the same time me asking questions and speaking shows on my test grade.

4) I am quite Critical about myself still but its improving.

Going along with talking in class I can still be timid about it. I have this business law class where I feel like I never say anything correct. The crazy part is I'm the main talker so it goes half and half. I feel stupid when talking BUT at least I am speaking. Sometimes we let our fears stop us from excelling to a better person. I probably will have the smartest comments for the class come next month.

5) My freshmen 15 turned into a 50 and I'm just trying to make it at this point.

I wish you could see my face every time I see freshmen twitting they are going to stay in the gym. I realized life takes over and food becomes comfort while studying. I am working to lose the weight but its has its hard moments. I balance multi-blogs, 18 credit hours, and a 40+ hour job. Eating and sleeping is the only thing I want to do in my spare time.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
