To me, high school, was very easy academically. Even though I took many AP classes, while in high school, I had plenty of time to spare. Studying wasn’t an issue. I’m good at memorizing stuff, so once I read something once, I could go in and take a test and get a straight A. I managed my time in high school by hanging with friends, playing video games, watching TV, studying, and doing homework.

College on the other hand, has some things common with high school. Like high school, I have a lot of free time on my hands. Once I’m done with a class i could go back to my dorm and do whatever I want. Hoover, college is also kind of different. The classes seem to be harder, and there is less homework (well except for Aleks). Also, my pattern has changed. I no longer play video games or watch TV. Instead, I upgraded, and started watching Netflix.

There have been some changes in my eating habits. I now mostly eat junk food. Mostly everything at Stony Brook makes your stomach hurt. Thankful, I go to the gym regularly, to stay healthy. My sleeping habits also somewhat changed. I sleep later because my classes start later than high school.

I don’t know that many resources that could help me balance my time, because honestly, I am perfectly capable of doing that. But if I do need help, I could ask the RA for resources. I don’t really know how I will be able to balance between studying and ‘having a life’. I will just go in and see how everything unfolds. I don’t know how I will intend to balance, I will let the wind blow and I will fallow.
