First Year At College

The year is coming to an end and with my birthday and holidays soon approaching I am happy. I am finally going to be 18 which probably surprises many of you since there are high school seniors who are older than me. But anyways the holidays in winter are the best part of the year for me since there are a lot of parties that are thrown. My cousins and I play too many games that get posted on Facebook by my aunts and uncles and Snapchat by my cousins. One year we played truth or dare and that shit went way too far since me and my cousin (hector) always do anything just to win we had makeup put on us and we looked like clowns had risen from the dead. Another year my other cousin (Danny) came from Chicago and we had dared him to ask the neighbor for an umbrella then (Alex) had to eat some dog food which he said tasted like corn nuts. We make a game out of whoever sleeps first and when that person falls asleep they get slapped with shaving cream. There are already a ton of videos of us gett...

This is hell week for me I had to plan out which classes I am going to take next semester and doing work for every single class this blog did not help me out either. Picking my classes for next semester was a bit easier considering I am keeping this English class. But the work I have to put into my classes right now is stressful I never thought this could happen. In Stats I hit a new low and with her rushing everything because she wants days off we have to learn everything we need for the test in under two weeks. Considering it is based on what we learned for the last test makes it even worse since I didn't even get half credit for it. I also have to write a paper for my Criminal Justice class and do the workload that we have for English not to mention the skit me and a group are doing for communication. Trying to keep up with everything will be a struggle but after I am done with the week I will be glad that I was able to go through the hell week that occurs every semester. For me...

When it was time to start applying for college many of my teachers said that college was difficult. Now as the end of the first semester approaches I can officially say college is easier than high school. I think the hardest part of college is picking classes that align with work schedules and time to do things after class. So many of my teachers said that the midterms were going to be difficult but I aced my criminal justice exam without having the book for the class. Even though I like driving I feel like driving nine hours a week is to much especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I go to Stockton after I finish my comm class in Turlock. College would be a lot easier if I lived closer to Turlock. As the year comes to an end and finals soon approaching I hope the rest of the year continues to fly by with ease. Although we have to pick our classes for next semester I am glad I can keep this one as it is something I am already familiar to and will help me kick off the next semester in...

Reading for me has never been something I enjoy doing in fact I push it back to the last minute and try to find summaries on it before the test. When a teacher says book I think to myself is there a movie. The last time I fully read a book because I enjoyed it was a picture book in first grade. Getting assigned a four hundred page book to read was a nightmare but of course my communication teacher gave us options I chose Lone Survivor since I had seen the movie. Our second test on the book is coming up and my teacher said she would ask us a question to see whether we read the book or watched the movie. Now the test is tomorrow and I have only got past a couple of pages but since I am feeling lazy after writing this blog I will just go on Youtube and look up a book and movie comparison to have somewhat of an idea of the different things that happened in the book and the movie. I passed all of high school doing something similar to this so hopefully it works tomorrow too. If it does not...

At first I thought college was simple, easier than high school as the classes are shorter and are not every day. These expectations were blown away since teachers have to fit in a years worth of work in a small amount of time meaning more studying which I have trouble doing and more work that I usually do last minute. In most of my high school classes my teachers were great at teaching making us learn the subject. Since I took statistics in high school and passed the class with ease I thought that taking it in college would be just as simple. The teacher helps us understand the subject but is strict with everything which means I completely failed two of my quiz's. Even if you know the subject and forget a small detail she marks you off for it. I couldn't fail a class I had already passed before so I studied before our test even though it was only half an hour it helped me remember everything I had learned helping me pass the test ( still got marked down 20% because I didn't...

   I know we are barely half way through the semester but it is time to start planning for the next semester. My Criminal Justice teachers have already sent the class to receive our advising appointments. As a Criminal Justice major most of our classes are planned and we receive emails about the classes we should take John Wittman really helps out getting us the permission codes we need to get the classes that we want. The four year plan we did in English helped out with what I need to do to graduate but I feel like I needed more time to put classes that I would actually take. For next year I will continue to take later classes as it has worked out thus far I sleep later than usual but can wake up later because of that which is a gift as I would not want to wake up at 5:30 like some of you do. Picking teachers is difficult so using rate my professor really helps me narrow down my options because I don't want a teacher that gives out homework just because they feel like it and ...

European cars are a beauty they can be some of the best looking cars on the road but can also be one of the most expensive ones to fix up. About a week ago I took my car to the shop as it had the check engine light on for over a week now and found out that it cost over three thousand to fix it. The Audi had a faulty o2 sensor and a torque converter that apparently needed to be replaced. My car still runs great but my dad has a cousin that has a shop where we can probably do the work on it for less than five hundred dollars if it doesn't work out ill just have to buy a new car. Cars are really important as most of Stan state students drive to school a good car is important to have. I do not regret buying the car and if it does break down I am still going to buy another sports car the speed they have is just not comparable to other cars. My dad will probably want me to buy a Honda since he has one that he has put a little less than half a million miles on it. In my opinion Honda'...
