Coping with Change

The biggest change that I have gone through in the past year would have to be college, because I moved into the dorms two hours away from where I live which is in Lawrence. My friends go to KU which a big school to big for me which is one of the resones I am here at Butler. I knew it would be a big change moveing to a new place and not knowing any one. Lawrence is much bigger than El Dorado there is less inrtesting smells such as the refinere. I was scared to change but I needed it. Of cours it was hard I did barake down a cupple of times but I needed to spreed my wings and leave my nice woarm nest and my mom was helpful in helping me in doing so and I thank her for that. I thank in the long run I come out ahead of my friends because they are still in Lawrence were they just have to get used to college life, where as I had to get used to every thing college life, being away from home for the first time not knowing any one at all, balancing money, and homesickness that was hard but now I am doing fine. I have a job on campus that helps keeps me occupied unill this week when I got sick with two ear infections. I enjoy my job in the cafetireia there is never a dul moment thanks to the employees.

Time Manegment

I will tell you right off the bat there will not be that much writen because I am the worst procatinator so obviosly I the consiqinses of this is your grades suffer. I thaink my procastination begain some time in grade school eiather in second or third grade or what ever grade we started getting home work. Now that I thaink about it I realize that teachers and other aduls enabled me in procastinating. I thaink if they just said well it was due and you did not turn it in so it is late, in other words tough luck. because I never learnd it the hard way the first time. I think another reason they did enable me was because I have ADHD/ADD and had an IEP. Now that I am in college I am learning it the hard way because I never developed the skilles to studie and do homework. What I need to start doing is forcing myself to do home work because I have plenty of time to do it and there is no eccuse for me to not do it, it is that plain and simple. I should not be blaming just the adults I should be blamming my self the most.
