College is not what I was expecting it to be. It's a lot harder. I'm used to getting pretty good grades in high school without trying too hard. But here it seems like it is impossible to get the grades I strive for. I have all my papers peer-reviewed by ATLEAST one person, but I have only received one A. I, also, study for atleast 12 hours for a single test and the highest grade I've received was 85%. It's almost depressing.
My mom is more confident in me than I am myself. She keeps telling me that I will figure things out and if I keep trying everything will work out for me. I wish it were that easy! If it were, everyone would get awesome grades. Even though we had fall break I was still swamped! I worked on homework everyday of the break! There was so much to do. Even though I suffered in my room while everyone else played I still had loads of homework to do this entire week. I had two tests, hundreds of pages to read, a paper to write, chemistry homework, biology chapters to read and so on. On top of that I have these blogs to stay on top of, cross country practice, and my work schedule!
Thanks a lot college!
Ouch! You do have a busy time of it, don't you?
ReplyDeleteI would encourage you to go to the WRSL for your papers. You have a good command of the language but I've noticed you need a little work on developing your ideas.
I'm always willing to look at your papers ahead of time too if you want. :-)
