7B: College so Far… Nothing but Failure

               

                To those who said college is a blast most definitely lied or were Albert Einstein’s son. It’s far from fun and nothing but a “blast” of failure.  Everything was so easy in high school, ya know, I just coasted.. did what I had to do to get by and still managed to graduated top ten in my class. I formed a world of bad habits that seem nearly impossible to break simply because everything works and moves so fast in college. You’re basically your own teacher, and if you don’t formulate some sort of schedule to keep to then you’re almost guaranteeing yourself failure.
                I have failed at nearly everything I’ve attempted to do in math and I’m almost okay with it at this point, I don’t how knowhow much more failure I can possibly use as motivation without seeing any progress anymore. From getting extra help with the teacher to having my roommate tutor me, nothing seems to be working. I’ve accepted it, but since I absolutely hate failure I’m determined to bring my grade up and show some sort of success in the class. While I’m on the topic of failure, inquiry.. inquiry is a class that I love going to. I love the group discussions, and I love the readings, but the blogs are something that’s completely foreign to me. I’m slowly starting to improve at it but it really all just seems to come with repetition and keeping a schedule that gives me enough time to complete all four blogs.. ON TIME.

                I feel like the first semester of college is hard for a lot of students, and I know for a fact that I’m not alone. So I’ll just find a schedule that enables me to balance school work, football, some sort of social circle, and eating and sleeping.
