When I’m focused on studying or getting work done, I prefer the calm of being alone in an unoccupied space. Also soft lighting makes it easier for me to really focus on my computer and the stuff I’m working on.
I’m really worried about not having sufficient time to sit down and study or get my work done. It feels like a constant struggle to balance everything and make progress.
I picked this picture because it reminds me of my best travel experience this summer.
Confident. Although I find it particularly hard for me to study, I hope to break out of certain bad habits that negatively impact my academics. Distractions grab my attention very easily and usually find myself swamped with loads of work. Listening to music often helps me focus when I need to get something done. Learning how to stop procrastinating is my top priority. I don’t portion my time correctly and don’t follow any particular schedule. My worries in college mostly consist of being overwhelmed with work, followed by where completing all this work is going to take me in terms of a career. The image below is my cat Lazy. She is 14 years old and is one of my best friends. Whenever I have a have a bad day or a tough situation in front of me, she is always there to help me out.
I’m not going to lie, college is really scary. It scares me because it’s hard for me to study. I feel like I can get into the groove of studying but my surrounding is mostly my problem. I would start to study and study and then I’ll get a text message then I’ll start to wonder on different apps and then I lose that motivation to keep studying. I need to learn how to keep that motivation rolling and remember I’m in college for a purpose. My worries are the Final exams for my other classes. My worries give me motivation to keep working hard and study hard.
I chose this picture because this was a time I was in a happy place and nothing around me mattered. This picture is me when I went to the JMA Wireless Dome, Syracuse Orange Field, to play in a State Championship football game. This picture means something to me because it was the last time stepping on a field playing something I love.
