My First Time in the Student Loung

During my first semester at Touro College, I took a course on the History and Philosophy of Education and Special Education. Throughout this course, I was introduced to many philosophers and their theories, which helped me to develop a personal educational philosophy that I will implement into my own future classrooms. In our very first class session, we examined the word ‘education’. Education derives from two Latin roots, educare: to bring up, to train, to teach, and educere: to lead forth, to draw forth, to guide. In the world of education today, a child’s success in school is primarily dependant on his or her ability to pass standardized tests; this embodies the concept of educare. Knowledge is passed down from the teacher to the

The socials provide great opportunities to meet a lot of people. I know at the socials in Lynch Hall, I am able to meet new people every time. I came to UNC Charlotte alone and did not know anyone. During the first week of school, Lynch Hall had an ice-cream social for the building. At the social, I was able to meet a lot of people. I laughed, ate, and had so much fun. Most of the friends I have now live down the hall from me. I would have never meet those friends without the ice-cream social Lynch Hall had. Socials prove that a student just does not have to sleep here, but have fun here

Almost half of OCC students prefer to study and do homework at home. Due to student’s busy school and work schedules, a lack of time to spend on campus to study, eat lunch, use the gym, practice in the piano rooms, be in a club, etc. can be in affect. Most students incorporate 4-6 hours a week of some form of recreation, resulting in less time to spend on campus. 84% of students do not socialize, thus could affect the outcome of them joining a club with fellow peers. This also could affect lack of knowledge of knowing about the Grunin Center piano rooms and Health & Wellness Center. Students prefer not to study, print, or do homework on campus (Fink 8, The Survey Handbook)

In addition, they also suggest that the environment that college provides creates a much more alcohol friendly space. In order to create new friend groups, students may partake in social gatherings where alcohol is available. These new friend groups may rely only on drinking and partying to stay together and can lead to excessive drinking in student.

This is my last semester at Governors State University. There were only two classes that were part of my study plan that I needed for this semester, and I created a schedule with four weekend classes so that I could be full time. Instead of taking classes that would just look good on my resume, I decided to take classes that would help to benefit me the most and ensure my future success as a holistic human being. Other students had spoken about the Lab in Personal Growth briefly, and every person shared the same sentiment. They each stated that this was an emotional and eye opening experience that involved a great deal of emotional insight. Outside of that, I was unaware of what I was in for, but I was excited for whatever challenge was ahead.

Underage students drinking on college campuses has been a problem for countless years. Parents and professors look over the problem of students drinking and look at their college life in a positive way. They understand the students to be studying, making new friends, or working. Instead, an abundance of students are partying and drinking at these parties. The transformation from high school to college causes stress to the students. Therefore, instead of the students looking towards studying more, they start partying to solve their problems. Once they start partying, it gets harder for them to stop and they become depressed. Students drinking at college has become a provision for them, thinking it would help with their stress and problems rather than causing other predicaments.

In Alcohol, Tobacco, and Caffeine, shows that alcohol is a serious issue on campus universities. Especially being a binge drinkers, who are the cause of deaths, lack of interest in college, and even rape. However, university presidents are concerned about the student’s behavior on campus with alcohol use. They attend to provided leadership groups that help with students on alcohol abuse,

Undergraduates are in a highly influential period of their lives. University campuses not only bring students together through academia but also through diverse opportunities for students to get involved, involving social gatherings. Alcohol is a commonly apart of the majority of social events offered as a part of undergraduate events. Apart from the academic pressures of university, socially anxious undergraduates may feel added pressure integrating into university social practices due to their individual alcohol expectancies.

Desiring to have a better life in future inclines people to focus on their academic career. Schools, exams, busy schedules and a pile of work are quintessential this goal. Therefore, students who want to achieve a better future prefer undergoing hard work instead of engaging in social activities. However, social sides of college do not only occupy a big role, but also has plenty of benefits. Social life in college becoming increasingly essential in today’s world triggered an acceptable consideration: Social parts of college should be considered as equal as the academic parts because of psychological, social reasons and its benefits in terms of future.

Freshmen come in to college with absolutely no knowledge or plan of how to manage their school life and social life. Hopefully, by introducing the importance of sleep, homework reward systems, and the benefits of joining clubs and organizations, freshmen are given the opportunity make their transition into college smoother and help them thrive for a healthy lifestyle as a college student.

The biggest problem for teenagers when they came to the College is shocked. The article “The Real Campus Source” was written by Frank Bruni makes us know more about the life and the feeling of the students who study at college in first semester. So how the alumnus feels when they first come to college? The author analyses the emotion of the students. He knows that they feel lonely, bored, and abandoned because they don't know about the people who they first time meet (2018). I agree with the author’s opinion that student will feel lonely when they study first semester in college and I disagree with the point that using technology for connect students’ family and high school friends can make them isolated to new people.

The students who do not adapt and choose to abstain are immediately labeled negatively. By choosing not to participate in the universal activity on campus, these students limit their social life. This is a tremendous sacrifice. College supposedly represents the best years a person’s of life. No one wants to miss out due to being perceived as overwrought and uptight. For this reason,

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.

The first semester of my college is almost end, I felt confused and helpless when the class begin, there were all kinds of tasks that need me to do at the short time, my life was in a mass and I was just busy with keeping myself don’t left behind the class. At first, I felt so depressed about my expression in university because everything is so strange for me, while during this semester, with the help of people around me, I gradually get used to the new study life and feel more confident for the next semester. Thanks to the WPC101 class that helps me a lot on knowing what the business college need me to do.

Hearing so many good things and bad things about college I didn’t know what to expect and look forward to. That change my junior year knowing different college come every year I didn’t really pay it any mind what college I wanted to go to until ODU, Virginia State University and Virginia Teach came. It was Virginia State first year of visiting out school and I knew I wanted to go there I start getting e excited for college that were talking about their experience at college and what to look for when we graduated if we decided to go to college. Eager to start a new chapter college sound like it could be a little nerve wrecking but I thought I could handle it.
