As I began to read this article in Tuesday’s lecture, I was going through many emotions at once, and just like the article stated on the first page “ There’s a good chance emotions are part of it.”, I listened to my emotions at that moment. I was full of emotions such as confusion, boredom, irritation and overall just did not even want to read this article. First thing I started to do was look over each of the article’s topics and eliminate those I did not find related to me at all. The first one was called “ I don’t know where to start!”, this was a maybe at first, because in certain topics in school i know exactly where to start whereas others it does take a while. I read the trick they had stated on the page, and actually did relate to it. It stated how it is important to start a list, which is something I do on a daily basis. Next two were related to the topic “The assignment is not relevant to my interests (or my major)” and “ I don’t understand what my professor wants me to do!”. I thought these two were really boring, since we all know that core classes are required and if you don’t understand something your professor is saying, asking them is the easiest thing. I also found the slide shows really confusing on how all that unnecessary information would help with something we as human beings should already know.
After scrolling i fund the “ This is Boring!” Topic that was probably the most relatable, since things these days can be pretty boring and so repetitive, but when looking over the next topic which touches on time management and procrastination, I actually was interested in what the author had to say. The author stated how “ Post- actional: because I spent more time worrying than working, i didn’t accomplish my task.”, this hit me since it describes exactly how i was feeling in the moment and it being something i struggle with i got mad at the article for pointing it out, but also glad because now i know what i need to work on. When it comes to difficulties I did not encounter any. Overall i will probably not use this article again since it’s not something very convenient, but i have to say that it is full of great examples and real emotions us as students go through our whole life, not just in school.
