College Life

  For Hanna, Erin, Kelsey, and Ashley's group I read about college life and how to balance studying and social life. They talk about a lot of things that relate to me as a first semester freshman. They talked about how it seems like we have a lot of free time because our schedules are so spaced out. This relates to me because I feel this exact way. I am not use to have two classes so spaced out in one day, or only having three classes back to back in one day for such a short period of time. And then I have a three day weekend because I have no class on Friday. This all sounds good in general, but it's all so weird to me. I have free time, but at the same time it does not feel like I do at all. The articles suggested that you join clubs and get involved. I have done this, an although it has helped me be more social, it makes less free time for me. I love going to my meetings, but there are those times when I just can't because I have too much work to do for my classes. They also suggested for people to keep their doors open when you are in you're room so people can come in and visit. I agree with this because my and my roommates had this idea at the beginning of the semester, and it worked a lot. We still do it not too. We also like to sit out in the common area or lobby because then you just say hi to a lot of people, and you start to make conversations and new friends. I also watched the movie that they had up for us, it was a little weird. They talked as if they were on a hunt for animals in the wild. It was amusing and I got the point that they were trying to say.
