Balance

    I've learned that balancing everything is difficult. like an act, there's only so much I could do before I break character. At first I was doing well, but as things were ramping up. Homework began to pile up, projects began to pop up, and track starting up with frequent practices. Things became heavier and I dropped and scattered my plans all over the place. Losing track of time, mixing up due dates, and drowning from all the work surrounding my head.

 Regardless I have been taking action getting back to the right groove and adapt to my surroundings. Getting schoolwork get balanced with track practice, while having the ability to do extracurricular activities, and keeping up with people within North Central. Having methods such as writing things to do for the day, due dates, and keeping track of what to do from most to least important.


 It will be a difficult ride with its bumps, but I believe in myself in getting done with my tasks in a timely manner. Setting priorities straight, having the ability to be more proficient while efficient. Though that takes time, I will learn on getting myself into a level to where I can be satistified. Remembering to take things slow and do homework/projects one at a time. Or even finding out different study techniques to work effeciently.

    Hello! It takes courage to admit that you are struggling, so kudos to you for saying such. Honestly, I can relate with your words. Learning balance and organization has proven to be difficult for me as well. I wish you luck with your goals. Also, I am curious what your current plans are for achieving said goals.

    I think that's great you were able to acknowledge your struggle with balance, sometimes it's hard to admit to your issues. I relate to the same issue of having things throw you off of schedule and feeling things are a mess. It's definitely a process, but I hope it's getting better. I hope you continue to keep taking care of yourself. I wish you the best in your future.

college challenge

      I have been doing well in college so far. But the one thing that sticks out the most and has challenged me is time management. Not in the sense of being all around the campus and doing homework until the last second, but deciding what to fill it with. My schedule has been blocked out with classes for each day and times of practice, potential work hours, and studying. However, I found it so difficult to incorporate other things like club opportunities because some of the times class with each other. Or finding time to lift because homework is due still. Nonetheless, its a constant trial-and-error run for me and slowly but surely I'm improving upon it.

Searches

Cardinal search was quite a useful tool for me, as it made my research paper easier to create with its available sources. Initially, I felt overwhelmed as I had no idea how to filter through the various sources. Time was limited and I had activities outside of school that kept me preoccupied. Although the search engine made it significantly find sources to strengthen my paper. It made the process much smoother as I found specific sources with the conditions I needed to earn the points needed. Enabling different filters on the search engine made sorting through different types of journals/sources easier, rather than spending most of my time through Google Scholar and finding sources that were either not as useful or had no correlation. More importantly, the recommendations I was given continuously furthered and gratefully supplemented my research in reinforcing my points. Incredibly I understood my topic greatly and understood both sides clearly. I can confidently say Cardinal Search ha...

Addiction

       I have been keeping track of my thrifting purchasing and the lack of space that continues to grow. To give some context, my dorm is already filled with my clothes, and have exhausted the space for extra space for clothing. At this point, I resorted to selling and swapping articles of clothing each time I went back home for the week. On the bright side though, I've grown and explored many more different styles now. With the minor but also a major drawback of my checking account tanking down at a steady rate. Fingers won't be pointed but I will say that my mom is also a shopaholic, and in my defense, she influences my purchases every week on our son and mother's excursion to the thrift stores. If worse comes to worse then I will ask Goodwill to have ban me from their vicinity until I'm financially stable again.
