Recommended: Factors affecting time management

The time in my academic life that I though was the most frustrating and stressful was my last semester at Richland College. The reason is because I was taking two science classes (Chemistry and Biology), statics and intro to Kinesiology at the same time. I had to quit my job that I had for almost up to nine months in order to concentrate on those three classes. Most people take those kind of classes while working because they are capable of doing so but to me it was hard especially biology in the sense that I had so many information to digest and integrate in a short period of time. However, I didn’t let that stop me from getting to where I wanted or my goals for the class. I went to the science corner almost every day at my free time asking for questions and explanation in what I didn’t understand. I also went to see my professor during her office hours for more explanations and I had a study group with my classmates helping each other. Since I was in Trio I mostly stay there and I used their computers watching other videos (Khan academic) on the topic that was done in class. Also, I used flashcards and highlighters to picture things so that I could remember them faster since I am a visual learner. …show more content…

Because of all those resources that I used I learn the method of passing the class and although I didn’t make an A (my goal) I was still happy because the people that I work with, study with and socialize with knew how difficult the class was and I also put all my best in the class by studying and using every opportunity that I got to pass the

  • Stress

    How to Deal With StressMany students go to school full time, and hold a part time job to earn money for school. Most students have about four classes, and each of the teacher’s of these classes gives an average of about an hour of homework each night; that averages out to four hours per night of homework, plus a part time job. School causes a lot of students stress because there are so many things to do, and so little time to do it. Stress is a normal part of everyone’s life; and is not a disease. It is not necessarily good or bad; however, reactions to stress can be harmful. Lack of time puts the stress on many students, and causes students to often procrastinate because they are constantly trying to meet deadlines and they don’t have the time to work on their assignments. Many students feel their grades are important; they need plenty of time to work on their work so they can do good. I can relate to them because if I get a low grade I get disgusted because I put a lot of time and effort in doing that assignment. But I think that a lot of the stress from school is caused, not only by the teachers, but also from the students to do well. Students put too much stress on themselves. A student just has to learn to manage their time well and just do as good as possible. Stress management involves the effort of that student to make emotional and physical changes.

  • What Is Fear Essay

    1175 Words  | 3 Pages

    All of my classes in high school I passed with no struggle. I would cram all the knowledge that I needed for a test the night before, so I thought college would not be any different. A week or two before my first ever college exam the professor announced that if we had not already been study, then we should start to right away. Being a young naive freshmen, I kind of blew the teacher off. Telling myself that I did not need to waste the next few weeks studying for one exam. So I waited until the last day to study. You might have an idea of what happened next. I failed the exam. Failing so bad that it would be nearly impossible for me to still get a C in the course. I could not even look at myself. The thought of disappointing my parents was making my stomach turn. This fear of failing the class was tearing me apart. The only chance at passing this class was if I turned myself into the perfect student. This meant turning things in on time, studying days in advance for exams, and going to my professor’s office hours. And that is exactly what I did. By some seriously hard work, long nights, and over a hundred red bulls, I was able to achieve a passing grade with a

It was this very assignment that I had gone into a frenzy/frantic mode. I had forgotten that this was a big assignment worth a chunk of my grade. That's when I went into full panic mode.

    In essence, my hopes for wanting to be a part of the ASPC Committee revolves around my desire to bring change to the students of Pomona for the better. Though I have yet to serve as a part of an organization that focuses on student advocacy, in regards to policy change, my first year at Pomona has allowed me to better know the campus, faculty, and student body and the way we engage with one another within the Pomona community. Given that my Sophomore year is fast approaching, I am now reflecting on my own first year experiences: "What did I enjoy? What could have gone better? How have I contributed to my new community, thus far?" However, with the opportunity to be a part of ASPC, I now find myself asking "What can I do for the incoming class of Pomona, or the overall the community at Pomona College, to further create an atmosphere where constructive decisions can be made to improve the community we have created over the years as
