The transitions of a freshman

One of the most stressful times I have experienced as a college student have been taking midterms. With the addition of these midterms, I have once again had to make decisions of sacrificing activities on my schedule. The one constant I have felt throughout my time as a college student is the important decision making that is required. Decision making is so important due to the limited resource of time.

The week of my microeconomics and diversity midterm, I readily spent even more than my normal two hours in the library. I realized that the benefit of studying for each exam outweighed participating in a meaningless leisurely activity. I also decided to spend more time studying for my micro exam rather than my diversity and social justice exam. I rationalized to study more micro due to its higher level of difficulty which requires more attention. One of the most important decisions I made was to study in an isolated space that had little to no distarctions.

Although there were times I did not feel like studying, the choice to study has various benefits compared to the enticing method of procastination. The reward of being confident during and after my midterms was well worth the effort. It seems apparent that college is a test of your decsion making ability that reflects your success as a student.
