*FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE*
High School and College are two totally different worlds. There are lots of things you can get away with in High School than in college. I have just taken a quick lesson of that. These two months of being a College freshman has given me a quick tour of it. In High School I had an average studying rate,meaning I halfway studied or didn't do it for too long. I still graduated at the top of my class because i retained most of my lessons. Oh boy am i here to tell you that I am making a big adjustment in College. I know that barely studying is not going to cut it in college by I am having problems in my Spanish so now I have to study harder to get my self out of the hole I have dug myself into. I understand after reviewing some papers and my Spanish grades that i have to devote hours out of each and every day to studying to improve myself. I am really making this adjustment by yesterday i spent FIVE hours in the library studying and reading, and I reviewed my notes for an extra hour before i went to sleep. Oh yea, reading in college is everything and can sometimes really test your patience. I can tell u now to get into habit of reading because once you are in College there is NO WAY AROUND IT. Trust me, you are going to have read 30-40 pages or more sometimes, and they must be read before class thenext day. College is about dedicating yourself, discipline yourself, then dominating your classes.I am dedicating my self full time because I refuse to lose my Schloarships that i have worked sohard for. I have to get a 3.0 to get into the College of Business and it's your Freshman year that is the building block for success. I am making these big adjustments, mainly a lot dealing withtime, and money management. I am basically grown up here in Knoxville, therefore I have to find a way to make it!!
