Well since this is college for some reason i have taken a whole new approach to schooling.Freshmen Year was a huge transition from middle school to highschool, i went from going to a middle school full of loud obnoxious inner city kids that cursed at their teachers and even resulted to throwing chairs.To the largest all girls high school in chicago, which was prodominantly caucasian. Sophmore year i thought i was amazing because i was in sports and i have survived a year of highschool. Junior year i probably committed to blasphemy because i thought i was the most amazing thing to walk into mother mcauley because i was finally an upper classmen.Senior year i finally realized that i needed to get my "shit" together as soon as possible but it was too late and ACT scores and everything was already sent to me and would be my final ACT scores. College is going to be a whole different approach to school i have to buckle down and it shows because this is my future and me thinking that im amazing and that i dont have to do anything is not hurting anyone but myself. I am more focused and more open minded to suggestion which can only help me.
ReplyDeleteI havent changed any habits, i still do all the same stuff i did in high school. I'm proably not going to change what i did in high school. What i did during class will care with me in other classes
ReplyDeleteIn highschool i was very unorganized and i couldn't keep pace with my peers because of this. I am a great student but at times i just need to be more focused on my studies. It was hard because nothing really kept my attention. I just knew that I had to graduate in order to move on to something that I actually wanted to do. I know that I can acheive anything i put my heart and mind to. Unfortunally high school was not one of them.
ReplyDeleteI feel like college is a grown up thing. If you're not grown up, don't go to college. Highschool was like a social event to me everyday. I really hated the whole high school atmosphere too. Why in the world do I get treated like a little kid when I was verging on adulthood? Now I feel like the people at college will let you do you're own thing and not baby you at all. College is a time to grow up and learn how to be yourself and have your own life away from parents and people who treat you like you're young and stupid. I started out high school doing alright. I was never a star student but I was also never the lazy student who didn't do anything. Until junior year. My school had split schedules so I only went to school until noon every day. And that freedom really made me lazy. Who needed homework? I was free to do what I wanted after noon every day. So I did what I wanted. Senior year I made a point to raise my grades, but I hardly had class so again I just slacked off all day. I have totally gained a lot of responsibility though in the last couple of months. If I didn't think I was ready for college I wouldn't be here right now.
ReplyDeleteIt is as simple as college=adult decesions highschool=childhood,because highschool they said do you have your homework, where is it, they pulled you out of class and said whats going on with you why didnt you do it they took special intrest. College unless you develope a relationship with your student your just another face, and another seat in their class.
ReplyDeletewell, in high school, I didnt really care or want 2 be there so I never tried, I have to be motivated to do work. In high school I did alot of skipping, and talking back to teachers and I skippind detentions and stuff. But now I want to be here so it's much easier to do work
ReplyDeleteHighschool to me was a joke. I feel like the only reason I was there was because I liked to hangout with my friends. I never took a single day seriously. Between skipping class and failing almost everything besides art classes I was surprised I even graduated highschool. I guess that I take this more seriously because it is truly what I want to do. I didn't want to be in highschool for anything more than my friends but this is what I want to do with my life.I take what I like seriously and that is why college is such a different experience than high school.
ReplyDeleteThe habits i've changed are nothing it's just that I feel more pressure here yet I want to try myslef more than in high school. All I went to high school for was my diploma because the classes I was in had no interest to me except certain subjects we talked about in class. And the ones I was interested in I did well, but the other ones i didnt care.
ReplyDeleteI think once i start my fall semester i will get down to business. If your organized things are presented more clearly. I think my focuse will be stronger and I will comprehend what I need to do to be a succesful student at Columbia.
ReplyDeleteI feel that my future is in my hands, and this is the time to shine. This is not high school and therefore I can't mess up again. Some of the things that I turned around were my attendance, my attitude towards homework, and participation in class. I'm serious about what I want; therefore I need to project it in my attitude towards school. One thing that I still have to work on is time management, because i procrasinate, and that causes me to be sleepy and tired for the whole week until Friday comes. Does anyone have the same problem?
ReplyDeleteunfortunately i wish i had the type of highschool that would pass you or let you graduate if they liked you, because i had to bust my butt senior year. Honestly from freshmen year i had all D's sophmore year C's,D's,F; junior year B,C,D, senior year i was on honor roll all semesters A's and B's huge transition! It can only go up from here
