I chose this photo because I thought it was funny but at the same time it describes how I’ve been feeling so far at Baruch. The work load can be quite overwhelming and can really frustrate me. Sometimes, i find it nearly impossible to do the homework. The difficulty can make it very time consuming. This mainly applies to papers and essays. They can take up weekends and i often work late into the night. I miss out on sleep and I am always tired. I find it really hard to balance out work and my personal life. Homework takes up a lot of my time and it leaves me with very little time for my social life. through the last three months, it has been a struggle to balance homework and socializing. Homework is an important part of learning and reinforcing what you learned in class. However, it is very time consuming and it can be quite difficult. It makes me question whether if there is really time for homework. Although i feel this way, I know my priorities. School comes before everything else even if it means doing my homework and having no time to socialize and relax.
James- I find that I (and I’m sure many of your peers) constantly struggle to find a balance. It is something that will change every semester. Homework is very important to your understanding of material but try to look into time management strategies to assist wit finding some “me” time.
