Students want to know what they are getting into before they go to college, and the fear of college being too hard steers some students away. Students wonder if they will be able to maintain good grades, have good time management and if they will stick with their major. A big part in determining how difficult college will be is choosing a major they you know and will enjoy. Classes will have assignments but it won't be like high school, which gives homework almost everyday and are expected to be done the next day. Most likely if you receive an assignment in college multiple days will be given to complete it. Taking classes that actually interest you will also make life in college easier rather than having to take a class that does not interest you. If students pick classes that interest them then instead of thinking class is a burden, they will have the drive to stay focused and learn the material. Another plus is you don't have to take as many classes in college, which can lead to more sleep, time for assignments, and time to yourself. Less classes is always stress relieving, especially when you have more time in your day to work without feeling rushed to do assignments.
As long as you go in with a positive mind set and the willingness to learn the major of your choice while not getting caught up in other things college shouldn't be that much harder.

I think difficulty is always what you make it out to be but depending on the study it can be a challenge
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement that says "As long as you go in with a positive mind set and the willingness to learn the major of your choice while not getting caught up in other things college shouldn't be that much harder." This is true, but I feel like so many people have shared their opinion on college regarding their difficulty with courses and independence, that college is some what hard to look at as a good and fun thing. But, I do appreciate the fact we are given freedom to chose our classes schedules and the amount of time we are,sometimes, given to complete assignments.
ReplyDeleteI think the difficulty is based on how you handle the workload in high school, or in college. For example, I can say high school is difficult but if I am a student who procrastinates and doesn't do my work, I really have no say because I didn't put my best effort. I feel as if you put your best effort in classes, then you can determine if the class is truly a challenge or not.
