Alice Brock Making It Up As I Go Along Summary

On the other hand, though high schools are lenient on the effort students put in, they are more strict on time and freedom. Students go from being “babysat” and told what to do and when to do it. Yet when they go off to college, they are met with more freedom than they know how to handle. Because of this big change responsibilities are not always being handled. All because students never had to manage their time they relied on the high school teachers to do it for them, so they are now crippled into a series of procrastination.

These two habits mentioned above are the most noticeable habits made during my college life. I could find their interesting effects and results brought in my life and now I can’t sustain a good life without them. I look forward to making more great and positive habits in the future. I am also pretty these great habits will lead to bright future I have never

One things that keep me from being successful in college is time management. Time management is a big issue because I remember I never use my time wisely. I never get a change to give myself time where I can enjoy my life and have fun. Whenever school started I became a stressful person because I wouldn't stop thinking how I’m going to finish my work. I also thought of how I wasn't going to pass the class. It's a stressful season for me. I remember back from my sophomore years in high school, I never finish my work on time. I didn't spend to much time on studying because I was too busy doing other things rather than spend time doing my homework and studying. Yes, maybe I need to take break from doing my homework, but taking break can also

It is very important to keep a healthy lifestyle in college because it is easily go to an unhealthy routine. I learned that eating healthy and exercising was important in maintaining a proactive, healthy environment. I began realizing small things as time went by in my college career. I am glad that when I was a Jr. in high school, I picked up the habit of writing my homework and what I did daily in a calendar as a memory when I looked back in life. I never thought it was actually necessary in college. I cannot explain how helpful it was for me when transitioning into college. Without realizing at in high school that it benefit me in the end. As time went on, I still did not pick up a studying habit. I did not find one until spring semester of my freshmen year. I had a hard time picking a studying habit because all my professors quizzed differently and had their own style when giving out exams. Therefore, I struggled for a while, and until I found my studying habit, I used index cards and study groups. Those techniques did not help as much as I hoped just on certain

In addition, I like to finish any homework promptly and I even try to be ahead as much as I can so that I won’t be frazzled out about not having it done. Likewise, while working I try to get

Through my academic performance at UIC, I feel that I have done well in my course grades, however, I think I could have done better, if I would have left my high school study antics behind. Since I started college, it seemed easier in the beginning until assignments started piling up and I felt like I would not catch up. I would procrastinate, but not as often, and would study at the last minute for an exam. I want to start my fall semester where I would leave my old habits behind, make a study routine, commit to it, and receive grades that would demonstrate my hard work and academic performance as well.

In high school teens have a very structured schedule by having classes start at the same time everyday and having homework with due dates. Most colleges have very spread out schedules and only two to three classes a day with longer time to get homework done. Which sounds nice but most of the time high school students have a hard time adjusting to

In the process of creating the story Alice Hayes my partner and I frequently found ourselves questioning what would a person in her situation do and how can we tie this into what we discussed in class. But first we had to think of a character for our western, they had to be someone brave who had faced a tragedy that made them that way, but they couldn’t be like every cowboy western that we watched in class. It had to be something different, but still held the same values. This is what led to us making the main character a female. It had to be someone who isn’t normally the American Adam figure and who would do the same thing that a man would do. We named her Alice Hayes because we were saying names back and forth and Alice seemed to fit best and Hayes seemed like a good western name to put with Alice.

Students usually think they have to only choose two of the three. The most difficult part of keeping a tight schedule is that schedules are bound to change on a daily basis. For any plan to work, there needs to be a schedule to abide by. To succeed in meeting the triangle expectation, a strict schedule is needed and has to be followed. Learning how to say, “I have to go start studying now” can be one of the best skills you learn in college when it comes to managing school and your social life. On a college campus, freshman students can feel over committed when it comes to classes and extracurricular activities. College will become stressful, but students have to remember to live in the moment and try the best they can to manage their

One very important part of growing up is learning to manage your time better. A lot of the time in high-school, you’re given multiple assignments from multiple teachers. It is your responsibility to make sure that things get done in a timely fashion. It is also important to not spend too much time doing one thing. It is also better to make sure that you do things when

On Mondays and Wednesdays, I would study from 12-3pm, but on Tuesdays it would be from 1-4pm. On Thursdays, I would study from 12-2pm and on the Weekends and holidays, it can be from 2-6pm. The reasoning for changing my studying is because, in high school I use to cram all the information on the day of the test for 5 minutes and I would usually make higher than an 80 on most tests. In college, studying is a lot different from high school, it’s different because in college, you’ll need 2-3 hours a day to study in order to receive a good grade. The next SMART Goal is getting better focused this semester. I would need to be better focused in college, is I want to succeed. There are ways to accomplishing this goals there are: studying 2 hours a day, asking help when you need it, and also make a calendar that has all the dates that the assignments are due. The major barrier that I will have to overcome is procrastination. When I was in school, I would always procrastinate until the last minute. I usually say that, ‘’ I will this later’’ or I said, ‘’this is

At the beginning of my college I used to do it. It got harder because you need it a plan on how to keep track of what time to do your homework and study. Mid- term were around the corner. I decide to make a chart of what type to do my homework and what time to study for my mid-term. Keep track of your time, because then you going to have time to have fun and party. Every weekend I go out but on Friday I rather do all my work in order for me to have fun weekend and not worry Sunday night about doing my homework at the last minute. After, I finish everything I chill in my bed and watch Netflix.

I have recently adopted a new routine to life since I graduated high school. I feel less concerned about the amount the time that I have to complete assignments and less stressed about balancing my work schedule and my class schedule. College has already proven to be less structured than high school, which gives me more time to focus on work for only four classes instead of eight. The way that the entire semester is printed on a syllabus is also a relief, because now there is a printed version of what and when things should be completed. I like to have structure because it makes me feel like I have my future in control. The way that I keep myself feeling structured is by keeping my surroundings and responsibilities organized and familiar.

We do not have our priorities straight we are prostrators we tend to push our studying aside and not get any work done in our lazy lives. My first year of college El Camino gave me a free planner for the freshmen to prosper in their education, I decided to use it every day and that idea worked for about a month and I stopped and didn’t use it anymore it stayed in my backpack never to see the light of day again. I received a new planner for my birthday (this was my chance to redeem myself) since using my new planner my study habits have improved tremendously and I have seen an improvement in my everyday life.

Graduating from high school offers the exhilaration of freedom, but also comes with boredom and monotony. Consider establishing your own personal schedule to keep yourself busy and focused. This will provide structure and help you avoid wasting time. Developing self-discipline through holding yourself accountable will greatly enhance your education experience. In addition to this, practice how to manage your time and prioritize tasks.
