1/20/2014 0 Comments And So It Begins...Tomorrow marks the first day of my second semester at Umass Amherst. And I thought that I would use my blog post today to cover what things I have learned from my first semester here at "the zoo". And let me tell you, it's not a misnomer. 1. How to Use Up Free TimeEveryone learns during their first semester how their free time is best spent to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. Some people prefer to watch TV or play video games or read books. I found that I enjoyed going to the rec center as often as I could, usually a couple of hours each day, and I also enjoyed catching up on my favorite TV shows. Unfortunately I would do this while simultaneously doing my homework - causing my homework time to double and fill in the rest of my free time. 2. Learning Time ManagementWhile not every college student is able to say they successfully learned this, I think many do. You are given assignments that will take time pretty far in advanced and you must be responsible for making sure that all steps are followed, rough drafts are edited and that the final project is as good as it can be without your teacher holding your hand along the way. 3. How to Say No to ThirdsThe freshman 15 is real people. The freshman 30 is also real. Going into school you need to be prepared for bounds and bounds of constant offerings of food. At least at Umass anyways. You need to eventually learn how to stop even though that chocolate cake looks so delicious and tempting. It takes a lot of strength, but it can be done! 4. How to Procrastinate Like a BossIt's true, a lot of the free time you are learning to fill is being filled so that you can avoid starting your papers or things of such nature. If you are a girl, you will definitely be doing a lot of "window shopping". Which is a phrase here meaning that you will go on a LOT of clothing websites and add everything you love to the cart, then close that tab and open another without buying anything.
