ENG1101 Fall 2023 Tuesday 2 PM

Hey, my name is Maya Shaqiri and one word i would use to describe how Im feeling  is excited. I’am eager to learn about all this course has to offer and connect with my professor and peers. Although I’am a bit worried since it is something new and it will require a bit of getting used to i don’t have any big concerns, since i do have experience with college leveled courses through high school. My study skills involve of a lot of alone time, listening to music, getting things done as soon as possible as well as having everything planned and scheduled ahead of time. I don’t like procrastinating. One thing i need to learn to do better would be having a set sleep schedule since it does affect on my day. On the other-side being a college student is a bit challenging since it is a transition from being a teenager to an adult and right now I’am full of overwhelming thoughts. I do try to stay away from “what if” and just take college and this new experience day by day. There will be stressful days and nights, but in the end theres nothing that you cant achieve.

The image i decided to add is of a sunset in my home country outside of my backyard. I choose it since it reminds me of all the times i spend living there before coming to America. Those times shaped me to who I’am today and remind me that my family back home is really proud off who I’am and becoming.

Hi my name is Elda and one word to describe how I’m feeling about this course is intrigued, I think that this class is going to be fun and exciting.   My study skills differ from what class I am studying for, but for Comp 1 I would need to have a quiet space and make sure I understand what my professor is asking from me with the assignment and give it my undivided attention, I love writing and reading so I have no problem with it, as long as it’s not boring or anything having to do with American History, I feel as though American history doesn’t make sense to me so I hate reading about it or learning about it. Being in college is a huge change from High School, The workload is bigger and you don’t have time to joke around with anything you have to pay attention and do your best. I am definitely scared that I haven’t made the right choice with my major or that I will fail, I guess you just have to make the best out of it.

The photo I decided to put up is of our last BBQ  that our family had before my grandpa passed away, we enjoyed every second of it and made sure he knew he was loved by each and every single one of us.

 

Adjusting

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.
