Friends

Making friends in college has not been as easy as I thought it would be. At first I thought that I was going to make friends in every class I had but that is not even close to what has happened. Last semester I made friends in only one of my five classes. I only keep in touch with about one of them. This semester I have made a bit more class friends and like one regular friend. I feel like I don't make to many friends in school because most of my classes are in the morning and it's usually when I don't feel like talking. Although I haven't made many friends in class I have made some friends outside of class. These people also attend stan they are a bit older than me which I actually like because I get to learn more from them since they have more experience with college. This people usually always give me advice about school and like talking about how school is going. I feel like making friends in college is a big part of the college experience because I feel like I would get different types of college experiences hanging out with different people. Allowing me to find different things to do and what type of people I enjoy spending time with.

What I have learned from people

Since the beginning of college I have noticed a totally different vibe in students. So far from what I have seen most people portray a character that seems to be mature and to themselves. Which is good because it creates a professional atmosphere for students. For me being in this type of atmosphere has allowed me to learn how to behave around certain people and focus on school when im there. I am learning how to talk to professional people like professors and other different types of educational workers. Which i believe will come in handy when i'm at a higher education also for out of school environments like work and public places. When I am in class I feel like most people are there because they want to learn and become who ever they want to become which drives me to do the same. Although this is the atmosphere that im getting from this school there is definitely much more going on on behind the character that most people portray once I started talking to people. I found out how they really felt about this school and I also found out that there is so much you can learn from someone. For example I met people that truly love school and spent most of their day there and I have also met people who don't like it and want to move to a different college. By talking to people I have also received so much advice of how to make it through.

My Courses this Semester

This semester I decided to take five courses which is the same amount I took last semester. I wanted to take five courses because last semester i took the same amount of classes but did not end up doing as well as I would have liked to. So this semester I wanted to prove to myself that I can do better if I gave school more effort and find a way to balance things out. The courses I am taking right now are. English, Italian, Group discussion, Biology, and music. The courses that I find the most difficult are english and italian. English has been a difficult subject for me since I was little. I have alway had trouble writing and speaking. I'm just really bad at wording. Even though I do have trouble I am trying to improve my writing by conversing. Which is working because I find a bit less difficult to express myself in speech and writing. The second course that has been difficult for me is Italian I chose this class because it is a subject that I have never been exposed to. At first it was very interesting but intimidating. It was interesting because the teacher only spoke italian which I was amused by the way she sounded, but it was intimidating because I was going to have to speak like her just at a lower level. In this class I always have homework and always have to practice new fraces. It has been difficult to remember all the different conjugations. She quizzes us on some conjugations and I usually don't do so well on those. Although these courses are difficult for me I am trying to stay on top of things and study so I can do better than last semester.

A Place to Study

These past few days I have been looking for a place where I could focus on my homework and studying. I used to always leave my homework for home but lately it has been difficult for me to do homework at home. This is because there is always someone making some type of noise. For example my siblings socialising or someone watching t.v or blasting music. The noise is a problem because some days when i'm tired I find it really irritating and hard for me to concentrate. I also have a tendency of putting homework of when i'm home because i get to comfterbol and end up taking a nap, playing video games, hanging out with my brothers, or using my phone. So thats why im trying to find a place to do homework besides home. I've tried finding places to study. I have gone to the library and so far it seems like the most ideal place to do my homework and studying but I get lazy and don't go because I don't want to spend more time in school, don't pack lunch, or just want to go home. Funny enough I have tried doing homework in the gym. My gym has some tables to hang out at which is where i do h.w sometimes and oddly enough I find myself very focused there. But I don't like doing it there because I feel like people will judge me because the gym is to workout not study. So I think I am just going to keep going to the library and find another place so I can alternate between the two
