College is different now. I can do every class and assignment from the comfort of my bed wrapped up in 3 blankets while watching my second Netflix series of the day. My full undivided attention is not a certainty, most of the time it isn’t even a possibility.
Before, when I would be able to go into a classroom and see my lecturer and classmates, things were slightly different because I would have to listen, but my mind would wonder easily. My course has very little hours in comparison to those that study the sciences or engineering so I would be used to spending many of my college hours at home anyway. This new college from home should not feel like much of a change for me, maybe that’s why so many of my habits are the same.
The hardest part about college is the assignments. Unlike tutorials and lectures, assignments don’t really change. Even if the topic is something we haven’t studied before on an application that we were never taught to use. This wouldn’t be too bad because, not to brag, I can learn things reasonably quickly on electronic devices. Sadly, when it comes to just writing articles and essays, I don’t have the same ability. I have a troubling problem where I leave them to the last minute, basically until the last 24 hours. I always put myself under pressure, maybe because I think I will do my task better, have my blood pumping, to make more rush to my brain, making be have better ideas. This idea is unproven but until then you can teach an old student new tricks.
I will probably never change this tactic because I believe that:
Diamonds are made under pressure.
