I have never really studied in all my life, I have worked my way through highschool by reading the textbook doing about 1/4 of the excersises and reading summaries made by other students. But I'm not sure if that could actually be called studying. I never spent more than 2 hours on a test or exam. Things came easy, the material was easy, the questions were and thus i got high grades without ever actually doing anything.
It seems kind of sad because it means I never really did anything during my time at home.
I wasn't home schooled in a classical way, I didn't have a teacher at my house, my parents didn't help me with my studies. I just ordered the books made sure I knew which chapters to study and got working. Every now and then I'd e-mail a teacher to ask if there were any essays to write or when the next test was so I could be sure I did all I was required.
Perhaps high school wasn't enough of a challenge for me to work hard for it.
I was satisfied with average grades and minimal work but that not what I want for college. I want to do well and get a great job when I'm done.
I want to be motivated to study, to keep going and pushing for a higher grade, Not being satisfied with any passing grade but only being satisfied when I'm sure I couldn't have done anything to improve my score.
When I look back, I see how much I've used the word "I". I must be pretty selfish.
Probably.
College, or university as it's called. Will it be any different from high school? Will I be able to make friends and study hard. Not sure. But I'm gonna try my very best!
After cheching the second year book list I have concluded I really need to start saving cus next year the average book cost will be 778 dollar, which is an awefull lot.
Thank you for reading ;)
