I usually get about 6 hours of sleep if I’m lucky. Well, this semester I’ve been a lot better, but last semester, there were times where I had to pull several all-nighters in a row. I seem to be unable to nap though…
I procrastinate so much on essays. The problem is that the times I haven’t procrastinated, I got pretty bad grades, and when I have procrastinated, I get almost full points.
I also have been procrastinating way too long on studying for my math midterm, so I’m probably not even going to pass. I swear this class has been made to see who would want to be a math major after it… I don’t know anyone who’s excited about math. This never used to happen in high school. I didn’t mind math, so I would not procrastinate on studying.
I am definitely an outlier when it comes to this, but I suck at procrastinating, lol. It really stresses me and induces panic attacks if I see something on my to do list for too long.
I was right, by the way. I ended up doing the journal entry 10 minutes before class started.
How does printing at your school work? At my school, we’re given 250 pages on our account every semester and once we go through that (if you manage it), you have to put money on a print card that swipes at a printing station. 10 cents per page. I only have around ~35 pages left for the semester…
We get $8 a semester for printing fees (it’s somewhere around 10 cents per black and white page, 50 cents for color page). Whenever you go to print you just enter your student ID number. You can add more money to your account if necessary.
However, I have never actually had to use any of the money for printing. There is a printer in the main lobby of every dorm available to residents for free (cost is covered in room & board charges), the school of engineering course fees cover free printing for engineering students at any printer in the engineering building. So I always make sure to print in my dorm or the engineering building instead of the library or elsewhere.
You are describing my dream @jimmyboy23 - if I had unlimited printing, I’d have a physical copy of literally everything. I try to compensate instead by downloading PDFs of everything and saving them on iBooks in my iPad; but I prefer hard copies. (Sorry, nature.)
I procrastinate, but I get nervous and anxious when I wait until the very last minute to work on things. I have to write a two-minute speech that I will have to present upon my return from spring break for my speech class. I’m worried that it will be noticeable that I procrastinated, but I bet most students will wait until Monday night to compose their speeches.
@Vctory, the “sophomore slump” is when sophomore students experience an overall decrease in motivation for college. The excitement of freshman year is over, yet the end of college is still a ways away.
I’m not too worried about it. So far, I’m taking decent classes in my fall semester, so hopefully, I’m not going to fall victim to that.
Going back to summer, I also plan on exercising more. I used to be a faithful walker everyday, but I got lazy when college started. I think it’ll be easier in the summer because I won’t have to worry about my schoolwork. Let’s hope!
I’m not worried about sophomore slump. I’m just trying to figure out what to do this summer because there are so many options between classes, internships, research, and on-campus jobs.
My Spring Break kind of sucked though because I had to work on classes. I’ll be going to a conference next week in Chattanooga and need to get ahead so I don’t fall behind. Falling behind while taking 17 credit hours is a recipe for disaster.
My spring break just started today; part of me wants to do as much work as possible for all of my classes so that the weeks following my break (when I’ll be having my second round of midterms) will be easier-ish but a part of me just wants to say screw it and sleep 16 hours a day. Lord knows I need this break DESPERATELY.
Nope, public school, so it’s not free. I mean, certain groups of people get free printing. Like, someone who’s taking a CS class gets like 200 pages free, and scholarship participants have unlimited free printing. I also would rather have a paper copy. Like my math textbook, I read it in paper copy, but have to do the problems with a PDF since I have the paper copy of an old edition…
I hope I don’t get sophomore slump. Personally, I don’t think that will happen, except for my English class I’m planning on taking. But then again I am going to have a professor for one of my classes which people tell me “Wow, I’m sorry” when I tell them that I’ll have him in the fall.
I have one more week and then spring break. One more midterm…
I wish our printing limit rolled over (this wouldn’t apply to me because I always burn through my 200 pages every semester) but my friend only uses around 10 pages each semester, and then the other 190 is just discarded after the semester ends. It’d be nice if it could roll over into the next semester so that she’d have 390 instead of 200 all over again.
I’m glad that my school doesn’t charge us for printing. They do charge us ten cents if we need to make copies, however.
I just looked at the calendar and realized that next week (not this coming week but the week after) is the last week of March! I can’t believe how fast time is moving. Summer break is going to be here in a flash. This just seems surreal to me! I keep saying this, but I’m looking forward to the four-month break!
I have a tentative schedule for next semester that includes two Political Science classes, one Religion class, one Honors class (on American identity), and an American Studies class (general ed). My MWF is back to back classes from 8am to 10am (ending at 10:50) – my TuTh schedule is back to back starting at 9:30 and ending at 12:15. I really like it so far.
So, I for my speech on Tuesday, I’m trying to decide how I should prepare for it. It’s a two-minute speech, so I am thinking of memorizing most of it. Should I use note cards or write the whole thing out as well?
