That's actually a good sign. Most kids don't do anything school related their freshman year and it kills their GPA. Once you get the hang of it, you'll learn to study like a college student and you'll have more time...unless you're an engineering student.


I go to Farleigh Dickinson, a really small school in Madison NJ, so the one on one help really benefits me, as I live in their tutoring classes, and develop relationships with the professors. I started out the first month awful, didn't study or care about class, and now I've had to bust my ass just to get my grades up to C's.

My time management is pretty bad, but it's starting to get a lot better. All in all, the work is hard, but you gotta really develop a mindset for school.

- BTW, a friend of mine told me my game is still ''High School." I've always been really confident about my game, post weight loss, and that this is the first time I got negative criticism. They told me I can't be a smart ass/dick in college, and I'm too much of a jokester. Is this true? Or are they wrong, because it REALLY irritated me, because that's just my personality, and I can't change who I am.

Better not to come off as too much of a goof unless you have alcohol in your system. Otherwise, you'll just be labeled as immature.

Dude, just be yourself.

If someone is telling you that, he is probably just jealous of you, that's all. Do you.

Man... I am having the hardest time building up my schedule for next semester. Never thought something like this would make me so stressed out.

I do not know if I am going to get this internship next semester or not (still waiting to hear back), which I can count as course if I get it. So it is hard to build around that. And Classes are continuing to get full.

EDIT: I just got an e-mail saying I got the Spring Internship, which I can count as an elective.

Now I just have to worry about my home's car schedule and who needs to drop off who. So I still need to know what to do with these other 3 classes I have to take. Not sure if I should take regular class times, or night class times.

Anyone else have annoying old parents? There is such a big generation divide between us....I can't stand them....I have chosen to avoid communicating / interacting with them as much as possible

Aderall is a necessity during finals week. Seriously, it's almost 5 AM and I'm still up grinding.

never taken aderall.

logic f*cking sucks but i'm done with that forever. my mom hated it too and warned me before taking it. i definitely should have listened to her...we are on similar wavelengths when it comes to classes we excel in / don't do that well in.

after my final tomorrow, it's smooth sailing. i have a pass/fail final on saturday...but i'm not worried.

birthday is in under 50 hours wooooooo.

I got a long two days ahead of him. I have two finals on the same day, and then I have to finish this really excessive take-home exam. There is lots of studying to be done.

Then I got bunch of paper work and applications to do.
- Scholarship application with a personal statement and resume
- Have to go through this long process to count my spring internship as departmental elective
- Apply for these summer internship positions
- Financial aid application

After the break I have to use the warranty on my phone and laptop. Go to the bank to resolve some account issues. Then finally return my textbooks. I hate post office trips. :( And I have to do some maintenance crap on my car.

On top of that I need to start thinking about graduate school.

I really got to start taking advantage of my free time. I had the whole weekend to finish this stuff, but I was messing around. It is just that point in the year when I am just worn out and sick of school.

Worst thing was that my final exams were at the very last day and time possible (Thursday 13th 6 to 10 p.m.).

It also sucks that all my friends are graduating this semester.

I made myself a good checklist.

I'm in my first semester of finals in law school, and man do a lot of people go hard on adderall here. I mean some of them are prescribed it, but some definitely abuse it lol I am still going all natural, though. Never have used adderall, nor am I one to do a lot of work into the wee hours. Normally do a lot during the day and evening. I don't drink any caffeine or energy drinks either, thought about drinking coffee but I'm gonna stay away from that.

Anyway, I got 2 exams left. Property and Civil Procedure then finally done on Monday....crazy how I ever complained about exams in undergraduate. This graduate school sh*t is no joke.... I JUST WANNA GO HOME AND DRINK AND WATCH KNICKS GAMES IN PEACE!

We got so many law students here on RealGM Knicks.

I am like you, keyindabox, I like to be natural. I do not like the effects those energy drinks and caffeines have on your body. I hardly even drink a cup of tea or coffee, not even a soda.

Basically, right now, i am just try to get as much sleep as possible before studying. I'd rather sleep a whole bunch and get a good 4-5 hours of studying done, rather than pulling an all-nighter and drinking a bunch of caffeine. I noticed my grades are pretty much the same either way.

I cannot imagine how law school is. I thought about law school, but just said "forget it", as I did not even know if I would enjoy working with law as a career.

I pulled an all-nighter to finish this 15 page paper, which I waited the last day to start on it, because I am just that smart.
