I felt a gif (have to click it) from my favorite series (DBZ) would be appropriate for how I feel somewhat. College is a very different beast from what I had in mind, or at least what I wanted it to be.
I find the transition to college to be quite perplexing—it’s rather difficult to adjust to certain aspects of college. The workload isn’t problematic; I worked after school during HS till 6/7, so I know that’s not the issue. I prefer frequent assignments such as HD, that way I retained info X better by acting upon my knowledge. The whole reading textbooks that literally reflect many class lectures isn’t nearly as effective for me. Depending on the class, information in the book can contradict what a professor is saying, in one class the Prof. even corrected/modified what was stated in the chapter(s).
Beyond this I feel a disinterest in my classes. Some lectures seem too long and drawn-out; sadly I want to be actively writing, discussing, or something because I drift off, and draw when I’m bored. Additionally I don’t believe learning is boring, I’ve had teachers that could make Calculus, Physics, etc. exciting…Therefore I conclude there’s just a difference in personalities, or my classes are just flat-out dull in substance.
Another topic I think about is my schedule…While I love the fact that I have no Friday class, I loathe the wide ~3hr gap betwixt classes on TUE/THURS. If I had had the chance I would’ve condensed my schedule for back-to-back classes. Next semester I will try to get the best class times I can.
