As for how I am feeling about not only this course, but also college as whole, is that I am uneasy. When I say this, I am referring to how I visualize my lifestyle that I’ll likely end up having to adapt to as the semester goes by. Studying is not something I think about often but when I do, I’d typically prefer to do it alone since it gives me space to think on my own, come up with my own questions to research, and time to analyze a topic in ways only I could understand. I don’t exactly like to have any extra background sounds when I study as I find myself getting distracted with it very quickly which also adds to why I don’t like study groups. Organizing how I will fit time to study into my schedule is something I am confident in being able to do, the thing is just that I usually fail to live up to those expectations I set for myself. I’m unsure as to how I will be able to survive in college, especially after looking over the syllabus for one of my other classes. Basically, it discussed a part about how they will have us put together a final project consisting of a recommended page count of 15 and, even if I could handle it, I just remember myself in high school weeping over having to do 3 pages.

I choose this picture because it shows me doing what I enjoy doing most and that is playing basketball. It is something I like to continuously improve on with myself.

The word that describes how I feel about this course is nervous, not to be negative but this mostly describes on how I feel about college I’m general not on this course. For me studying skill consist of being in a quiet space, no distractions I basically set a timer and study for that time and try my best to have no distractions like phones iPad or any music but sometimes I do get distracted and is something I am still working on. Questions that come up as a new college student is, how can I transition from learning in high school to now being a college student? How can I find a good time to study or organize my schedule good enough for me to have time to study for all my courses?

I chose this picture because it was taken in my favorite place it’s also one of my favorite beaches to visit whenever I go abroad.

I am feeling good about this course and going into college. Some study skills that work best for me is working independently. Working independently helps with distractions. I work best in a quit environment with no electronics to distract myself with. Even though, I still tend to distract myself with electronics and it’s something I would like to improve and learn to not do. Some questions I have in regards to college is how would the working environment be. Would the way they teach here be any different from high school? How will that affect me ?
I choose this image because the gym is something I like. It is something I am passionate about.
