CHapter 11

Chapter 11

Your Journal

Avoiding problems with credit cards is one of the biggest challenges us Americans face. An average person shall have no more than 2 credit cards in their wallet but now that average has risen to 8. People are ruining their credit by having too many credit cards and not being able to keep track of them. It is very important to not sign up for many different cards, just because the design looks cool (myself). Credit cards do affect your lives in the long term so BE CAREFUL!!!

Know Yourself

Try o get financial aid when you are in college. It is free money. You never have to pay it back. I consider some students “idiots” for not even applying. I mean how can they expect to win the lottery if they don’t get themselves in the lottery. The thing about financial aid is that government wants to pay for your education if you aren’t able to. This is great bacuz atleast the government has $$ for something.

Depression. Now a days, there is hardly anyone who is depressed. People are stressed out throughout the day but most of us end the day with the right amount of drugs or alcohol in the system. This is great. It helps us relax. More people on drugs at the same time means a much more relaxed world. I, myself don’t use drugs but you guys get what I’m saying.

Chapter 10

Your Journal

This chapter includes a section that tells students to not smoke and avoid drugs. I found the title “Don’t Smoke” very interesting so I looked into it. Hmm.. the book sure does makes sense by telling me that smoking causes deaths, heart diseases, and cancer. But who didn’t know this already? I thought I was going to learn something new, more facts about smoking that can help, but that wasn’t the case, so I looked into the “Avoid Drugs” section. And it had the same bullshit over again. Everybody knows we are not a drug free society and everybody knows change is bad most of the times so why try to change thing. Why don’t they just legalize marijuana already?

Audio vLogs

AUDIO Vlogs The audio vLogs we had to do were finished in class. As great as Professor Dan is, he allowed us to finish our peer mentor and senior interviews along with the Audio Vlogs as a class. This was great because i had a difficult time finding a senior to interview. The in class idea was much better in many ways. It got done much faster than we could have done it. ANd Professor Dan tought us how to edit these vLogs in class right in front of our eyes using Audacity.

KNow YOurself

I never feel physically ill before a test. I never have troubles completing a test. I always know I could do better on a test by preparing ahead. My mind has occasionally gone completely blank during an exam. I never have difficulty getting a good night sleep during or before an exam. I always know the material needed for the test. I occasionally get distracted during a test more than other students seem to.

CHapter 8

Chapter 8 Your Journal

This chapter describes the fact that tests are extremely important in college. They are helpful in many ways that most students don’t recognize. Tests help students get feedback on how they are doing and what they need to do to improve themselves. Tests force each and every student to learn and stay on track, this is very important because without tests students won’t be studying in college.

Chapter 7 Your Journal

One thing that will help most students improve their study habits is to join a study group. Studying with others is great. More knowledge is usually gained when u help others or listen to others review the information. Study groups also keep you from being lazy therefore you wont be procrastinating all the time. Study groups are great and they will definitely help everybody improve their grade

Chapter 7 Know Yourself

Knowing where to study is a huge aspect of studying. There is always disturbance in places such as your rooms. Any kind of noise while reading something switches your attentions from one point to another. It is also highly recommended to read without listening to music. Library is the best and most reliable place to study. It is also filled with resources.
