The most
interesting aspect of college to me right now, is how unpredictable the work
is. I usually like to finish my assignments on the day that they are assigned,
but I won’t work into the night. I treat college like it is a 9-5 (or 8-5) job
where I prioritize what work needs to get done first, and then push anything I
don’t finish by dinner off to the next day. Some days I may finish all my
homework in an hour or two, allowing me a few days without any new assignments.
I expected the buildup of homework to be more gradual than it is, because after
a day of classes, no work can suddenly pile up to hours of work. Through no
neglect of my own, I am bombarded with hours of homework. My saving grace is
that the due dates are usually staggered, allowing me to maintain my normal
working schedule ang still get everything done on time.
The most
challenging aspect for me is finding a balance between sleep and a social life.
I have 8 AM classes 4/5 days of the week, so I would theoretically like to get
to bed on the earlier side. However, I am usually hanging out with friends at
that point, and I don’t want to just get up and leave. If I stay later, then I
will be tired the next day, and I may fall asleep midday. It is difficult to
find and maintain a balance, but I am sure I can figure it out with time.
