Finding Myself In College


One aspect that I am failing in would be my methods of studying. In the past I normally studied for long periods of time, actually it did work out for me at that time. I used to study what was not necessary, which had my brain on overload because when I went to take a quiz or test, there was so much on my mind at once that I would forget it all.  However now that I am in college and work it is a whole different ball game. I realized earlier this week that I should change and relook at study habits because I know I can broaden my knowledge with different techniques. I no longer have the time to study for subjects as long as I did when in high school because of different priorities that I now have in college. I noticed that I do the same kind of studying for each of my classes which makes it extremely repetitive and boring for me. Overall each time I want to study I stray from doing so simply because I don’t want to be bored to death. This is the incorrect way for me to look at studying; I should find other techniques that do not make me stress out about studying. I know it needs to get done one way or another in order to succeed and not fail. This week I studied for my quiz in media in a different way then I routinely have done. I studied with my friend and I was not bored, stressed or even tired about studying. On this Media quiz I feel like I did well so I believe my new of studying skill will and have benefited me. I don’t always have to isolate myself from other people when I do study and in fact the other person may be keeping me on focused.  I learned that now I am in college I realize I  did not fail in high school with my study habits but now I have to adapt to the changes of a stage in life that I am in. Therefore I believe failure only leads to change. I hope over time failure is looked at as a motivation to be better and not a bad thing.
