This semester, I took my first college chemistry and calculus classes. These classes ended up to be something completely different than what I previously imagined. In high school, I studied a few hours the day before an exam and I was able to get good grades. However, I recently learned that this way of studying was not going to work in college. It took a few exams and some tears, but I finally realized that studying needed to be a daily habit rather than cramming the night before an exam. Since then, I have started to study for each of my classes a little bit every day. I have found success in this new study technique. I plan on utilizing the new skills that I have learned in order to create success throughout the rest of my college career.
