Stress Time

Stress

So I was walking down to my classroom and all of a sudden I see a lady with parrot walking to her classroom. I first thought to myself, what the heck is a parrot doing on a student's shoulders. The parrot seemed cool and like it was meant there for a purpose. All of a sudden it hit me, because finals are coming up and it is that time to start stressing out. Many people need therapeutic animals to help students with anxiety stress. So I think that it's cool that animals are being used to help the student body after all.

It's that time of the year again because now there's four weeks left in the semester and all the professors are gathering up their classes and preparing them for finals. The good thing about this year is that I only have to worry about 3 finals rather than 5 finals because some professors are cool like letting us do an essay for our final. I think he knows who I am talking about. God help me, because although I only have 3 finals, that does not mean that I am not gonna be stressed out. I have  to study for Bio, Economics, and Statistics. Statistics being the worst of my subjects because I have a tough time understanding the teacher. Economics should not be a problem but I know what I am going to be focusing on these last days in the semester. I can only be grateful that I had the opportunity to even go to school this semester because it's been a great semester full of learning and making new friends in class.

Good luck to everyone because we will need it. Our future depends on our grades this semester. 

Turlock's Atmosphere

Turlock's Atmosphere

Sometimes when I drive around Turlock during the weekend or when I am heading home, I really love the vibe this small little town gives me. At least, not just the country side of Turlock, but also the surrounding area of the school. I mean, compared to Modesto I can honestly say that I would rather live in Turlock than live in Modesto. This was my first experience in college of me commuting and actually thinking about Turlock and moving there. Here's some of the reasons why. 

1. Turlock's Shopping Center

Although Turlock may not have a mall or anything huge, I really love the atmosphere and the vibe the small shopping centers on Golden State Blvd. Sometimes I find myself driving throughout Monte Vista I think it's a beautiful small city little shopping center trying to copy San Francisco. Personally, I am not a city type of guy to want to live there, but visiting, I would. I think the reason why Turlock is beautiful in this certain area is because of Stanislaus State which obviously gives visitors a certain image of the school. Plus, Turlock is growing because before, there were just buildings on Golden State Blvd who did not have as many stores, but now it's expanding.

2. The Quiet Town

Since I am not a city type of guy, I really enjoy the small town and usually a quiet town. I do not want to be up staying at 2am to hear my neighbor partying or having a college graduating party. I like it when neighbors are respectful and do not violate my sleep rights lol.

3. The Country

I am more of a country type of guy in the sense that I would rather see the green fields than seeing the city. This is just my personal opinion. The green fields is what makes the view for me. Especially looking at the mountains west of Turlock and looking at the beautiful green fields. It gives me hope for the future somehow.

Stan state made me realize something about myself, I prefer small sort of busy towns than huge cities like Oakland or San Francisco.

Out of Ideas

Out of Ideas

So being that school is almost over and doing these blogs every Monday, I have officially ran out of ideas because I do not know what to write about this blog. Just doing it for the grade haha.

 So throughout high school, I always was an A student but this semester I am mostly getting B's and from what high school counselors have told me is that college is so much more different. What I also heard from high school counselors and past students is that college workload is much more different than high school AP workload. When I was in AP US History, the workload was reading every day and I was like stressed out, but college is on a whole different level. Professors usually say that for every hour spent in class, there needs to be at least 3 hours of studying for every hour in a class. To me, it just depends which class he is talking about. I usually tend to do better in a hands on class rather than a class that is just sit and watch me lecture. I wish college classes were less theoretical and more practical so it can be more engaging for those students who are bored out of their mind when they are in class. I just can't wait to be done with college already to be honest, because I feel like I will be stuck here for a while but the reality is that eventually, I will be out of here and I will have three years to go if I do pass and get credit for one of my classes. So that is something to look forward too, right? To finish high school?

Time in College

Time in College

Time in college goes by too fast. I remember that last year I was a senior in high school and now I'm about to complete my second semester in college which will mean that I will complete my first year as a freshman. Let me just say that this time flew by and I cannot believe that I am already in this stage. Thank God for my parents for motivating me and so for my sisters for motivating me as well because I did not feel like continuing in my first year because I am done with college.

I am grateful that time goes by fast especially when one is busy and building their future here. I hope that the four or five years I decide to take will make life and pulling up my career faster because I want to get in and get out of school. The only thing that sucks is that now I have to get my General ed out of the way because that is what the school requires sadly. However, I am happy that I had a first easy semester gaming up in the game room and now I rarely go there at all. I think I've been there only once lol, or just chilling in the grill, or having a three hour break which was amazing by the way.

Time however, can never go back so what we make with the time we have will eventually become memories and will become things that we will never be able to do in the future which is why we live for now but not tomorrow. So being in college for about two semesters already has challenged me to make the most with the time we have now. Don't waste it on useless things basically.

Take care y'all
