Stupid High School

So I’m sitting in front of the tv right now. I volunteered for the Habitat for Humanity at the Gus Macker tournament from 4 to 8. I feel like after I got back, all I’ve done is eat. In reality, that really is all I’ve done. I tried to start homework, but I just couldn’t. I’m having such a hard time getting back into the swing of things after one weekend. I wish I could learn study habits and things I never had to in high school. There are so many of us down here who were able to slack in high school and got a shock when we got here. I have my first chemistry test tomorrow night, and I have no idea how to study for it. I read over my notes twice and looked at old tests, but I feel like it won’t be enough. High school is supposed to prepare us for college. I don’t feel prepared in the slightest. I don’t know time management. I never had to study for tests. My classes weren’t challenging. How does that prepare me for college? I know some bigger schools would have been better, but that wasn’t the district that I lived in. I would never have asked my parents to pay tuition for me to go to a bigger school with more challenging classes. So after wasting plenty more of my time, I’m going to go back to studying and trying to do other homework!

Ok, while I wouldn't say that I didn't work hard in high school, it was BY FAR easier than college. So I completely agree! I was the same way before my first round of exams. The one thing I wish I took from high school was learning how to study, and I didn't. I tried to study but I found myself lost in thought of actually how to study. I did the same things, but never really felt like it was enough. So for me, I guess I'm learning as I go! I guess better late than never!
