First week of college was a breeze. I had so much fun meeting new people, making friends, being exposed to new opportunities, and experiences. It seemed like college was going to involve very little stress. That's where I was wrong. People had told me ahead of time that it requires more time, effort, and definitely more reading than what was needed to get by in high school. I found out very soon that they were absolutely right. Some classes need more time focused on them than others, Biology being one. I haven't taken biology since my freshman year in high school and here I am majoring in it. (Not so sure if that was a good idea for me yet) The homework seems like it never ends. The minute I feel that I am finally ahead or caught up, the homework just piles up again. There have been very few nights that I have just been able to sit down and relax. I'm not used to this. In high school I got most of my homework done in school and I definitely did not read the textbook and could still get good grades. I realize this is not going to fly in college so I have been reading tons and tons. It gets so stressful trying to find time to read the content, take notes, make sure I understand what is going on, and doing my other homework on top of working as a lifeguard at the W. I've had very many nervous breakdowns already and it's only the third week of classes and it's only going to get worse. This coming Monday I have my first ever college test in Biology. I am super nervous already and it is only Wednesday. I'm not sure how much to study or if I am going to study the correct information. I am most scared of failing. I haven't failed a class, test, or paper my whole entire high school, middle school, or elementary career. I don't want to start now so I am going to work my butt off to make sure that this does not happen. So I better go study now. Until next time....
