   I am now midway into my first College Semester here at RIC, and I have to say so far it is going really well. I am doing well in my classes and trying to manage my time well. I am going to start going to a tutor twice every week for math so I can ensure that my overall grade meets my expectations at the end. College work is much more difficult then high school work, and most of my classes expect you to go in depth with everything. You can not just write things and turn them in like in high school, you need to make sure that what you are writing is proficent. I like all of my proffesors so far, they all have a diffrent way of teaching the material, however everything is easy and they all make it easy to understand.
    College life is also something that I have adjusted to. I have been  getting along well with all of my sweetmates, in fact we are all like a little family now and I love spending time with them everyday. If any of us every have an argument it is ussually over something extremly stupid and we get over it very quickly. We are all so diffrent so at first I was not sure if all of our diffrent personaliotys were going to work. In fact I used to go every weekend just so that I wouldnt have to stay in the dorm, but now I love it and I feel as though it is a very important part of College. Next year we are all going to be split up if we stay on campus so we are planning on getting an apartment together, I have made many friends here that I think will be my friends forever.
   I would like to be more involved in the community and College life, so I plan to join a club. One club in particular really sparks my intrest and that is the Colored women club. I would like to meet more women of Color on campus and talk about issues that relate to us. I think it would be a great way to make new frineds and become more involved, and maybe even find someone of the upperclassmen to become a mentor.

Personality Questionare Reflection

   After taking this personality questionare I was very shocked at how accurate my results were. The test said that I am creative and enjoy helping others, and that is me to a tee. I am always giving one of my friends adfvice with a problem, and a lot of people come to me when they need help. However, sometimes it can be a bad thing because I sometimes I feel as thoguh I am to nice, and people take advantage of me. The good thing about is that people seem to gravitate to me more, and always come to me when something is wrong. This test also told me that I would do good in carrers such as psycology, teaching and anything that has to do with the health feild because I would be helping people. These carrers I have always thought about doing and I am now working on my pursuing my degree in teaching. Overall I was happy about the resulta I got on this test, and at first I was skeptikal about taking it because I hate taking questionares, but it was very helpful and informative.

                                                                                         Total Hours:168

   There our 168 hours in a week, so in class today we had to orginize our time. The activity side of this table is all of the acitivitys that I do in a week, the frequency part of the table is how many times a week I do this activity, the priority side of the table is how importnat the activity is to me, and the hours side is how many hours a week the certain activity takes me to finish. The first thing that we had to do is write down everything we do in a week and how long each one of those things took us.After that we had to rearrange everything to make sure that we were not going over the amount of hours that we had in a week. Our professor explained to us that every credit we means that that is how long we are in class for. Therefore I put the amount of hours that I am in class for being fifteen because I am taking four classes this semester and they are about 4 credits each. For me this was very difficult, because there were a lot of things that I had to cut out in order to make sure that my budget added up to 168 hours for the week. At first, the hours that I had in my budget did not add up to the hours that were in a week. I think I had about 200 hours in my budget, so I had to change a lot of things around and start to prioritize my time.  After doing this activity I realized that I needed to spend less time doing make-up and partying and more time studying if I want to accomplish my goal of becoming a teacher. This activity really helped me eith time management, because it will helps me better plan my day.

College learning stratiges/First week of college

   It is my very first week of college! Not only is it my first week of going to a new school, but it is also my first week of moving out and being independet. At first it was very hard to adjust, I have to go grocery shopping by myself if I want anything for my dormroom, and I have to do my own laundry. However, now I feel as though I am very adjusted and I love ebing out on my own. I have made many new friends I love all of my classes. I like Rhode Island College because it is such a small school therefore it was not hard to find most of my classes. I am very excited about taking this College Lecture class because I know that it will help in me in the long run. After this class is over I feel as though I will be more adjusted to college and I will have all of the tools that I need to make my College journey a succesful one.
