I’ve been living in a college dorm for a year and a half now, and being in a dorm isn’t all that different from being in a high school or junior high or middle school. I’ve become used to the noise, the noise of people I don’t know, the noise of my friends trying to act like they’re in my position, and the general quietness of the place.
But the way I feel about my college years is different. For one, I feel like Ive been a student for longer than anyone else and now I feel like Ive finally figured out my place in the world. I still have to wear a bowtie, but Ive got a bit more control over my wardrobe. Ive also got to take more classes, but that doesnt have to be a stress.
The big issue that many first-semester seniors run into is that life at school is just a bit different from life at home. I’ve heard a lot of people complain that life at school is just awful compared to their college experience, but that is not true. If you’re a senior at college you’ve already figured out a lot of stuff that you dont know at school.
I’ve been telling people for a while now that it is important for people to be able to keep up with their work, so it helps to have a little bit of extra time to do it in. Ive also been telling people in real life that it is important to not have to work so much that you dont have the time to work out, but that doesnt have to be a stress either.
Ive been telling people for a long time that you should try to keep up with your schoolwork, but that it is best to not feel like you have to. I tell people this just as the time to do it is starting to run out, and things are starting to get really stressful at school.
I would like to say that my time is at a premium. I’m always on the lookout for excuses to skip out on classes. I can’t help but let my frustration show as I feel the stress of the day and how much I want to get it done. All the same, I try not to take a day off.
I try to take two days off a semester but I do this with mixed results. I get pretty stressed out with the time limits, especially in class. Sometimes I still manage to get a lot done in the two days, but I also get tired of the stress and want to go home.
In addition to the time-limited stress, sometimes the stress itself is out of control and I’ll just let it take over my body (this does not mean I go crazy and kill myself.) I always get stressed out when I haven’t done anything all semester. I usually end up skipping a class because I don’t want to be stuck at a computer on a Saturday night.
The general strategy is to use each class member’s actions to get a different response to a question. This could be a question about the color of the flowers, or the hair color of the dog. We have a lot of these questions, so we don’t have a lot of choices. Because our goal is to get a response, we get a lot of responses. We want to know our answer, we want to see what our friends are thinking, and then we want to act accordingly.
