Being A Successful College Student: Course Analysis

This semester has flew by a lot faster than I anticipated. The akron experience has taught me quite a bit that has helped me in many different areas. Being successful in college to me means to organize and manage all the parts of your life so that you are content. College is alot to keep track of and managing this and the rest of your life is the main thing that will keep you going so you are able to take breaks. Without breaks you will get burned out and I learned this pretty fast. I would say I was successful this semester even if my grades weren't exactly where I wanted them I am getting the feel for the whole experience.

Being successful in college is not as difficult as some people think it is. With the proper preparation and observation, the student can be well-organized weeks ahead of when their classes will be scheduled to start. Not everyone is considered a highly organized individual and sometimes unexpected things happen to us all. It is important to keep a positive attitude, research, and speak with your instructors and various other staff members when needed in order to solve a dilemma. It all boils down to what the problem you are facing is. For myself, my EOPS appointment had been four days before classes were supposed to start and after taking a one-hour bus ride to the college about thirty minutes before my appointment was scheduled my phone rang.

I know that college will be difficult for me because of time management, lack of support, and the challenging classes. I am a mother of seven children, and six grandchildren whom I have devoted my life to for many years. Now it is time for me to shine. Managing time is very hard for me because it takes up most of the day. I have to car pool my daughter to basketball games, and take my son back and forth to work. My husband also demands my attention and help, because he is older now and cannot do a lot of things on his own. He comes home from work at night and expects dinner to magically appear on the table and house work to automatically be done. Finally once everything is done, it is then eight already and I still have to get the things left that I need to do before school like finish homework, study for tests, and then have myself in bed before eleven. In order to become a successful college student I will have to overcome my challenges. I would like to finish college and major in nursing which is my number 1 goal in life.

The information that I have learned will be applied to my work life now and in the future so that I can better assist my students to become more intentional learners. Taking this class has definitely exceeded my expectations and has been enjoyable. When I first looked into this class, I wasn't really certain what to expect. I didn't understand the concept of the LCI and what I was supposed to get out of it. Honestly, I didn't really understand why this was going to be my first class in obtaining my bachelor's degree. After taking and completing this class, I now understand the importance of it. I have learned so much about myself as a college student, about my learning style, and I am now equipped with tools that I will be able to utilize throughout my academic journey. I think that if I had this class the first time I was in college, my GPA would have been higher and I would have been more of an intentional learner. Not only did this class exceed my expectations but it has also been enjoyable. I enjoyed learning about my Learning Patterns and how to become an intentional learner. I enjoyed learning ways to better my learning style and how to succeed as a college student. At times, it was also challenging when it came to self-reflection and I love challenges. I like that if I had an issue, I could email my

The three strategies I believe to be crucial for success in college would be, reading and understand your syllabus, attending your classes, and choosing a good seat. Your syllabus provides you with crucial information to succeed in that class, important dates, how to get in contact with professors and classmates. Every class is different and every professor have their method of grading, teaching and expectation, your syllabus will guide you thru that.

I was luckily enough to have a fairly easy time getting through college. Applied and accepted to one school, half price tuition, scholarships, and full pell grants, never received lower than a B, graduated early and had a job lined up before graduation.

Looking back on my undergrad years, I did not deal with the typical struggles my students do. Throughout my two and half years in higher education, my eyes have been opened up tremendously, but this class opened my eyes to different issues. Issues that I have not faced yet.

Organization is the key to being successful in college. As a freshman, I struggled with mastering this skill, but throughout my years in college I would say that I have perfected it. One can assume, that if I had not mastered the skill of organization I would not currently have a 4.0 GPA. Along with my full time college schedule I have other responsibilities which sometimes make it hard for me to maintain my organization. However, through the use of successful time management I have been able to maintain all of my current responsibilities. My current level of responsibilities includes an internship, a part-time job, and a full time school schedule. I attend my social work classes at the University of Wisconsin Green- Bay every Tuesday and Thursday

Lets get one fact out of your head: "There isn't a single major that is strictly successful or unsuccessful. It is true that some majors tend to earn higher salaries that others.

I remember how excited I was to start college, meet people, have less classes in one day, learn more about my major, and have more time to myself. But the last few week have not been what I wanted them to be like.

These past few weeks of this course has overall been an interesting process. I have honestly throughout this course had learned quite a bit about life itself and human interactions. The discussions really forced me to think about the world outside of the little bubble my own personal thoughts and beliefs have formed over the years which I appreciate the different views its refreshing. I had a lot of moments where I questioned human morals, how odd the world really is and its values. There hasn't been a day after leaving that class where I hadn't left with some sort of question or thoughts roaming around my mind revolving the day's discussion. What I came to appreciate about the class was that nothing was ever given to us as just ‘busy work’ everything had a meaning that would not just help us in a classroom sense but help us overall become stronger thinkers and more observant. It varied from reading articles, to books to writing papers and projects everything had its own helpful purpose that added to the course I felt as if I was actually taking the time to learn and not just memorize and get a good grade on.
