My second week of college is complete and new one is about to be begin. This semester is actually going pretty fast for it being online and learning through a computer. I got used to this new experience and just started seeing the bright side, which was being in your own home and being comfortable while learning and not having to be sitting on an uncomfortable desk at school. Yes, being on campus would be an amazing college experience, but that day will eventually come. Right now it is important to not focus on the negative things because if I do I will be getting stressed all the time. For example, another good thing about online learning is that there’s no need to travel as much, which means no train delays or any other issues that will interfere with traveling to school. Not having to go to travel means I end class and I am still home, where I have more time to finish my homework and more time to just myself where I can enjoy some peace and quiet. I love the fact that I get to learn while comfortable and some may think that’s distracting because I can end up falling asleep, but that’s not me. I am much more focused, especially when I have to read my assigned articles in order to answer any questions my teachers may give me. I lay down, read, and I understand better. It’s very important to worry more about the bright sides because it brings more peace to a person and more motivation to get through these tough times. The college life will soon be experienced the right way, and I can’t for that day to come.

Well, my first week as a college student started and ended in the blink of an eye. It’s crazy how fast time flies and before I even know it I will be finishing up the college life. Yes, all the work I’ve been receiving lately is nothing compared to what I was given back in high school. Lately I’ve been managing my time more and making sure that I don’t leave any work for last minute because it is quite of an overload now in college. Most of the work I get from my classes are more reading and writing based and if I’m being honest that’s not really what I like. Although I don’t like it, I still get it done and that will continue because the way I see it, there’s always room for improvement in certain areas of academics. I guess you can say these courses are worth it. However, this new experience of college through zoom calls is not the same and it will take some time to getting used it, but in the end the knowledge that we as students receive, is the same no matter what form of learning we’re doing. One course that I am taking this semester is called Psychopathology and Literature, and so far it has interests me, yet I don’t like reading. The reason for this being is because the work that is given isn’t just simply reading made up stories or articles about different topics, but instead looking for articles that connect to world because of the mental illness and disorders there is. The fact that I am able to make connections to the real world Is what interests me along with sharing ideas with my fellow classmates about other different types of stories about disorders. More and more reading will be done this semester, but that’s just a form of saying “welcome to college” everyone. I’m looking forward to stepping foot on campus and getting to know all my classmates and professors. Until that day comes zoom will do and there’s nothing else to do but for me to keep pushing forward and get the grades I deserve.
