As the season of fall approaches here at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, I have reached the middle of my fall semester as a freshmen college student. Midterms are approaching and I am pulling my hair out due to the sleepless nights and long hours of studying for midterms. There are some students are planning activities for Halloween while I on the other hand am preparing my study guide for my Microeconomic midterm. The closest to a break I would have from school would be Thanksgiving break, and during the break I would return home and begin working for my family. All the stress I am feeling about school could be due to my unorganized school schedule and responsibility of renting an apartment.…

Multitasking as a College Student A first semester in college is a challenging experience for new students. It can be overwhelming sometimes, as students soon realize that this next step in their education is nothing like their experience in high school. The way students studied before and how they approached their courses is significantly different than what college has for them. After getting familiar with the campus and classes, the real challenge is being able to balance life and schoolwork, the student must be able to complete assignments in several classes, often being of different subjects and theory. Setting a social life aside, multitasking your college classes and personal life can be challenging.…

I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks. Unlike my other class, I didn’t have a chance to work ahead of the class with the instructor for the two weeks that I would be missing. Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…
