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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
