Physical and Mental Health

Your physical and mental health can easily change or remain the same once you enter college. College exposes you too many things like party, doing drugs, drinking alcohol, sex and things society finds deviant. When you get into this deviance, it would be pretty fun, but at the same time your physical and mental health is constantly declining. You can either try to balance this situation or just not go through stuff at all.

Test Taking (In response to know yourself and your journal chapter 8)

Testing is what we fear most about our classes. Whether it's a midterm or a final or maybe just a quick quiz. The difficulty of a test may depend on the teacher and what type of test is given, but it mostly depends on yourself. Your the one who knows what to do before during and in a test. Some people may over react and worry before taking test, which may cause them to lose all thought and study when it's test time.

So what must you do in order to stop this insanity? Study! We must end procrastination and put all distractions that society gives us aside. Helpful Tips may be working in a quiet environment with no friends around, maybe helpful ones if needed. One of my friends told me that she actually unplugs her modem in order to focus when doing her work as it prevents herself from procrastinating more and more. Once you use one of these or many othe strategies, you'll feel good that you studied and more confidence is built inside your body once you take that test.

Oh and one more thing Please try and not to cheat. A class should be based on your knowledge, not a stupid letter a teacher gives you once your done with your class.

Campus Movie Festival

Last friday, I went to the Campus Movie Festival here on campus in the Morris Dailey Auditorium. My brother, cousin, and I ar rived a tad bit late as we entered the top floor of the theater. The next movie played as I entered the auditorium was Next Time, which was a five minute film that was about a bookworm student constantly reject his dorm mate's invites to movie nights with the answer, "Maybe Next Time". This situation is constantly played throughout the movie as the dorm mate is always seen in different costumes pertaining to what movie he's watching. The ending came to be that, as the bookworm manages to break out of his shell and anticipate the next movie night, the dorm mate pops in to the room for a study time rather than party or anything like that. Next Time was one of my favorite short films as well as FunScare which you have to see for your self. Check Out all the movies played during Campus Movie Fest at SJSU and other college campuses at :

Sleep and Study (Reponse to Chapter 7 Know Yourself and Your Journal

School time and sleep don't mix at all. I always get caught sleeping less than 4 or 5 hours a day after homework. Just a really ugly habit. It's really easy to get distracted and not do your work, which basically happens to me. Ways to improve this is working at school. On Monday I actually got all of my homework done so when I got home I just relaxed and did whatever I wanted to do. I really prefer the college/school environment as it just creates that drive and focus for me to work rather than do other things. Although internet connections tend to get really ugly in certain places, this may be an advantage if you necessarily don't need the internet, so that it prevents you from being distracted.

Studying is very vital and important. The whole point of studying something is to have an idea or remember a certain thing for a test, quiz, mid-term, etc. With studying it's all about FOCUS. You must focus on your studying in order to gain this knowledge and put it into your brain. Use rhymes, songs, or certain events that can help you remember what you need to know about. However don't try to learn everything at once, cramming all this information in your brain may give you a headache. It's best study in parts and spread your time out for more broader knowledge.
