Finals

Oh my goodness, finals are STRESSFUL!!!! Right now I’m on Thanksgiving break but it isn’t really going to be much of a break for me! I have two term papers due when I get back but I haven’t actually started either of them. I have to come up with some way to present these two papers to their respective classes. I have journals that I was supposed to be writing a little bit at a time since Mid-terms but have been slacking on doing. I also have work to do for a University Ministry Night that is happening the week after break. It’s a really good thing we have a whole week of for Thanksgiving!!!! Many people would read this and think oh well she has been slacking all semester doing everything else but her homework. That’s not the case at all!! I have been doing my homework. I’ve been better this semester than any other about doing the reading I have to do for all my classes on time every time. The problem is that these papers have to get done ON TOP OF all that reading. Trust me, when you get to college the reading is not 5-10 pages per day. I’m talking, if you combine all the reading I have to do for all my classes, every night I have been reading at LEAST 100 pages. Most days I read more like 150-175 pages. Doing that and everything else I’m doing has left me with little enough sleep.
So as not to make this too much of a complaining session, I guess my advice to you all when you come to college is this: get involved it makes the college experience infinitely better but make sure not to get so involved that you don’t have a life because that’s not fun. Find a balance. Have enough time to do all your homework on time, after all that is the reason for coming to school- to learn something!
