In high school, I always considered myself a good student. I payed attention in class, took notes, and genuinely took interest in my education. As a college student, I have tried to do the same thing. Of course, college is not quite the same as high school, and I have not always gotten the near-perfect results I used to expect. While I am working on my perfectionism as a separate issue, I am glad to take this opportunity to learn more about how to succeed in college. Three strategies I learned in this chapter include how to better prepare before class, how to review after class, and how to improve my note-taking strategies.…

Throughout every college experience there are two sides to every story. The text made me realize, through vivid examples that I remember learning when I was younger, such as the gods and the giants, something that I have been told since I was young. That I have to always think twice before I think say or do anything.…
Part of the activities I enjoy are playing music; which can explain to people to learn more about Christ and how they can help serve others just as Christ would have done to them. Technology and video games have been a tremendous part of my life. My goal in college is to get into computer science and to learn how to design games and produce code. I can utilize the amount of the money that I earn and donate it to special organizations; for example, charity; and I can also donate the money to special places, for instance, churches, and consequently they can build a larger and improved church. For the past 3 years, I have been playing badminton and in just two years of playing badminton, I played so exceptionally well that my badminton coach moved…
When first posed the questions of how do I fit in at a college and how my extracurricular activities and experiences would benefit the college, I was not sure where to begin writing. To be perfectly honest, I think I would be a good fit on almost any campus because I believe I am adaptable to my surroundings and have a solid foundation that would make me an asset anywhere in the nation. While the previous sentence may come across to readers as egocentric or egotistic, I’m puzzled at where to begin because I also don’t think I’m outstanding anywhere compared to my fellow students academically speaking. On the other hand, it is almost a forgone conclusion in my mind that I have experienced more in my years than the majority of my peers. Also, as a result of many of these experiences, I’ve been able to get a jump start in my field of choice compared to where anyone else in the nation going into my career would likely be. Overall, I would say I have…

Starting college was the hardest thing i have ever done in my life, very dramatic i know but it made me feel a whole lot of emotions. feeling nervous in social situations where i was to meet new people left me feeling uneasy and tense. on top of that was the constant nagging of the time. getting up early every morning and going on a bus to dundalk would be a nightmare after getting up nearly everyday during the summer at one in the afternoon. once i got into the swing of things i was able get up at the right time, like a normal person. there were no hassle at the beginning of the…
It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house, going to school with the same kids, and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the United States, in reality the only world I’ve ever known is the same one I have spent my whole life in. I have loved growing up in Northwest Oklahoma City with the friends that have helped shaped me into who I am today, however I relished the opportunity…
The important pursuit of financial success is an idea that has been drilled into my head by the adults in my life from early on; my parents struggled in life, and for me they wanted a better, easier, future for me. What I took away from this was that I would not be successful and happy without the money and credentials as well. I could not understand why so many of my classmates wanted to be writers and artists; didn't they too want to be successful? However, the summer before my senior year, I had an idea that would change my thought process forever: a visit to the gateway of success, the Naval Academy.…

It is fairly easy to save money and it becomes easier to save once you get a job. “A high school student who works twenty hours per week (more during the summer, less during school year) and saves $6 per hour of that throughout high school will save $24,960 in savings by the time he starts college (Steinberg 13).” Working may help you get new interests and may inspire those who are confused about what you want to do. Many students have a belief their grades will drop if they work but a 1993 survey proves otherwise. “A 1993 study published in the Journal of Student Financial Aid found that college students who were employed actually had a slightly higher average GPA (2.72) than those who weren't working (2.69) (Steinberg 13).” Meaning those who decide to work during school had slightly higher scores than those who did not. Just like the other 2 solutions this one has a downside that matches up the benefits as well. To begin signing applications and receiving a call back for an interview takes lots of time mainly the waiting for a call back takes most of the time. Another downside is that you may not be able to get a job for a while it takes a long time for people to even get a call back. Mainly being there is no guarantee you will receive a job.…
