Title: So I'm starting college tomorrow
Post by: Dullahan on September 06, 2010, 07:08:08 PM
And I'm pretty stoked, actually. I'm not as nervous as I thought I was gonna be. Is this normal?

Although long term, I'm a little concerned about my theoretical learning ability. Honestly, I sometimes get it where I will study a whole section of something, and afterwards, I think "wut?". I'm very hands-on and visual, theoretical learning is a weakness of mine. I'm also the type of person who works better independently, because that way I know how to do my work. Though I guess I tried becoming a bit of a more team player than I have been in the past. It's getting better.

Still, my theoretical learning is what I fear might kick me in the ass. For those who are in college/university, were you a bit concerned about anything? How did you manage it?

I start in a little under 2 weeks and I am very excited giggle;
Especially since I just decided that my two suitemates (not to be confused with my roommate, who I am good friends with) also play starcraft, so we're just going to play 4s every day.

how are you guys finding it easier to learn in college
Title: Re: So I'm starting college tomorrow
Post by: Samus Aran on September 08, 2010, 03:40:23 PM
because we choose what we want to learn and we engage or disengage in it accordingly

mind you, that's mostly after getting all of those smelly general ed requirements out of the way
