Hi, my names Jia Ming Wu. You can just call me Jia. It is roughly 2 months from the beginning of college, and boy its already mid terms. I recently just took 2 mid terms and 2 tests, in this past 2 weeks alone. Both the test and my mid-terms are worth a good percentage of my grades. After seeing my grades for my tests, i found out the true horror of college. I had failed 1 passed 2 and the last one still waiting for the results. Even though i promised myself to study and do good in college my dreams, reality was not so kind and i got a wake up call.
My main problem was not even my classes, but myself. They say old habits are hard to break, and yes yes they are! My main problem was how i couldn’t get myself to study properly, like how i use to, because its been so long, that its almost like i never knew what the word studying meant. For my 4 test i only really studied for 2 of them, the other two i winged with my knowledge from the attending the classes, and homework. Which sounds bad but my lowest and highest grades were from the tests i winged, surprisingly.
Lesson learned, do not cram 4 chapters in the spam of 2 days, wing a test, and college for sure requires more work than high school. With this i will make sure for my next test’s i will study starting one week before hand, to ensure a high grade and efficiently adsorbing all the knowledge my professors are handing down to me.
