Academic Success

This week we took the LASSI. When I got my results, I was pretty comfortable with them. I definitely agree that my self study skills are lacking. It's really hard for me to find new and interesting ways to study. Also, I'm not the best at seeking out all of the resources available to me to reach success. I didn't really agree with the time management part of my results. It said that I didn't need much work on it. However, I think since I've gotten to college, my time management skills have definitely been lacking. I try to balance everything, between school, siblings, my sorority, and friends. Sometimes I make the decision to hang out with friends or my roommate instead of studying. I think that hit me when I got an 84 on my first math test. Although it is a B, I really think I could've done much better than that. One strength that I definitely use everyday is my attitude. I try to have a positive outlook for every task that I take on. This really makes the worst assignments a whole lot easier when I'm positive. I plan on using my resources much more to experience success. For example, I would like to take my papers to the writing center to have them looked over by someone who really knows what they're doing. Or, just simply going to the library to get motivated by everyone around me studying.
