A blog about college, investing, cooking, psychology, saving money and general life concepts.
Okay, I have found another study method, and that is, when a lot of reading is assigned, to break the reading material into chunks over several days, even when discussion board responses are due. An example would be: I read half of what is assigned, I cover enough to answer the question that is due... Continue Reading →
After overcoming a week of being sick, I wanted to write this post not just as a reminder to myself but for those of you in college trying to maintain some sense of normalcy.

This weekend I found myself sick and wanting my bed more than ever. I don't know whether it's allergies or the common cold, but I haven't been sick for years, and my allergies have lessened over the years outside a couple of occasional sneezing fits. But Friday, after a long day and coming home after... Continue Reading →

So far, it has lived up to its reviews for the three professors I have this quarter. First professor: I am taking statistics this quarter, and the... Continue Reading →

So, in my last post, I wrote about experiencing educational trauma and being worried about keeping up with my statistics class. Well, I'm happy and somewhat surprised to say that this is actually one of my favorite classes so far, if not the top class among my others, which include psychology and philosophy. If I...

Tomorrow's homework. I am taking statistics, and I've been excited and nervous about it. I brought baggage into my current class, and it dawned on me that sometimes we have to check ourselves because we hold onto trauma in certain subjects. These subjects did not come easily to us as children, whether it's because of... Continue Reading →
If anxiety were a person, you would be looking at me. I didn't fall asleep until 6 am this morning and had to be awake to catch the bus at 10:15. The first thing I did when I arrived on campus was get my student ID, borrow a graphing calculator, and obtain a free bus... Continue Reading →
