College ≠ High School

For my newer viewers, I started college early and I'm more recently starting to feel its affects. Even though many people told me college is harder than high school, I never really listened because I didn't find high school to be all that challenging. Last semester was simple so I only heavily focused on one class. This semester, however, I have several classes that require extra attention. The key is to plan out how to allot your time. This semester I have to spend less time socializing and more time studying, preparing and applying for scholarships.


Speaking of scholarships, another difference between high school and college are the deadlines. The first day of class, facilitators pass out the syllabus which has all the topics that will be covered and a tentative schedule of assignments. After that, there are no more reminders of deadlines. In high school, the teachers assign homework that is traditionally due the next day and its assigned in smaller portions.


This semester has been a serious test of my time management skills (which is partly why I haven't been updating as often).
